The Gene Bates designed Gold Course at Soldier Hollow was built for championship golf, and can be a beast from the back yardages at a total of 7719. The design offers a strong test of golf skill, with elevation changes, sheer length, lots of bunkers and undulating greens.

“With sweeping views of the Heber Valley and Wasatch Mountains, locals and visitors alike can play one of the values in the state for top quality, affordable golf.”

While the layout is pretty tough, the sheer beauty of the golf course shines above the difficulty and offers an absolutely stunning golf course in late summer making it a “must play” in the area. Bright white bunkers contrast with well manicured deep green fairways, and hypnotising golden grasses blow gently in the breeze offering classic golfing serenity.

Players looking for a similar beautiful golf experience, but want to play a bit more relaxed golf, should try the Silver Course, which plays much easier and features less forced carries.
