About ParOne at SkyRidge near Park City, Utah
ParOne at SkyRidge sits on Mayflower Mountain above the Jordanelle Reservoir, about fifteen minutes east of Park City. It is a short course and practice complex rather than a replacement for eighteen holes, and to its credit it does not pretend otherwise.
There are two loops. The Bear Course is three holes — a par 5, a par 4 and a par 3 — and runs mornings until noon. The Cub Course is nine holes with nothing longer than 111 yards, and takes over from noon until dusk. You can play them separately, combine them, or loop either one until you have had enough.
Nothing here is longer than 111 yards. That tells you exactly what the place is, and exactly which part of your game it is going to expose.
— The Park City Golf AuthorityThe yardage ceiling is the point rather than a limitation. Wedge distance control and putting get tested here, and those are where most rounds actually get away from people. The practice green opens an hour before the first tee time and range balls come with a booking, so warming up properly costs nothing extra — which is more than most courses in the valley can say.
The Bunker holds the practice side of the operation: Toptracer hitting bays on the lower level, and the full-length Topline range up top. The Den is the indoor version — private simulator lounges running Toptracer, with food and drink brought to you, which is the part that will matter from November through April. The clubhouse covers dining, a bar, rentals and a ProShop, and group clinics and PGA lessons are on the way.
What Stands Out
The Stelle — a hotel with a full-service spa and three dining venues — is scheduled to open on the property in 2027. Until then this is a place to play and practice, not a place to stay.
Worth the drive if you want to sharpen the scoring end of your game, bring people who do not really play, or get something in after the light has gone off the big courses. It will not scratch the itch for a full eighteen, and it is not trying to.
