Utah’s Top Golf Courses

How do you choose the best golf courses in an entire state? Some like a course that you can walk, others don’t like to wait behind people taking twenty minutes per hole. Some like a course with difficult 5-par holes and sand and water hazards scattered throughout while others like a more pleasantly simple course. Some place scenery as the most important factor and some might say the lay and grass quality would be more important.

Some resources;

GlenWild tops the list of Utah’s top golf courses according to Golf Digest.

Golf Link and Golf Week rate Thanksgiving Point as the top course.

So which is the best of all these great courses? Depends on your definition. My favorite course is Old Mill (see photo tour here), especially if I only have an hour to hit the driving range with it’s view of the valley.
