About the Gold Course at Soldier Hollow in Midway, Utah
The Gold is the championship half of Soldier Hollow's 36 holes, built by Gene Bates on the site of the 2002 Winter Olympic cross-country venue. From the back tees it's a genuine test — 7,719 yards of elevation change, length, and bunkering — and it's some of the best public-golf value in the state.
Built for tournament play, the Gold can be a beast from the tips: elevation changes, real length, heavy bunkering, and undulating greens that reward a precise approach. It hosted the 2014 USGA U.S. Public Links, which tells you the design holds up under scrutiny. Played from the right tees it's fair and hugely enjoyable, with sweeping Heber Valley and Wasatch views the whole way around.
What Stands Out
If you want Soldier Hollow's full test, the Gold is the pick — and its more relaxed sibling, the Silver Course, is right next door when you want a gentler walk. For current rates and tee times, check the Golf Packages & Tee Times page.
