If you are heading down to St. George for a summer getaway, there is no shortage of things to do. The city is a hotspot for dining, entertainment, and recreation. And if you are looking for a gentleman’s sport, there are many places to play golf in St. George.
There are so many courses, clubs, and resorts, in fact, that a comprehensive list would be quite the feat. Here we list the top rated places to golf, as rated by Google.
Sunbrook Golf Club
Golf Digest has specifically pointed out Sunbrook as the only golf club in southern Utah to feature 27 championship holes. Each nine has its own unique personality and challenges.
The Point Nine
The first four holes on this nine are fairly run-of-the-mill. However, on the number five hole things get tricky. It is a short par-four hole that borders a desert cliff; if your shot hangs too far to the left, it’ll end up 100 feet down on the second hole.
The Woodbridge Nine
You’ll also meet your match on the number five hole on this nine. The Sunbrook website puts it best: “Golfers must carry a lake featuring a gorgeous country-style wooden bridge. This is one hole so beautiful you won’t mind having to record a bogey on your scorecard.”
The Black Rock Nine
Keep an eye out for the challenging and unique par-four seventh hole. You must carry a treacherous landscape of lava rock as well as a small lake to the right of the green.
The Ledges Golf Club
Apart from boasting a majestic golf course, The Ledges offers a wide array of luxurious vacation rentals, as well as hosting weddings and other events. But you’re here for the golf.
The Ledges is a remarkable and unique location to play golf in St. George. Surrounded by beautiful, white sandstone cliffs and remaining 5-10 degrees cooler than other golf courses year round (thanks to its location), the “sweeping vistas” themselves are worth the visit.
To append to your golf outing, enjoy drinks at the 19th Hole Lounge after the round. Or enjoy lunch or dinner at The Fish Rock Grille, which serves up an array of entrees.
Dixie Red Hills Golf Course
If you’re looking for a more relaxing, but memorable and breathtaking, golf course, Dixie Red Hills is the one for you. Suitable for veterans and greenhorns alike, this golfer-friendly course welcomes all.
You also get a great taste for what makes St. George itself so spectacular. The greens contrast beautifully with the red rocks, and hundreds of trees dot the landscape. The Cottonwoods, Mondale Pines, and Mesquite trees provide a great deal of shade on those warm St. George afternoons.
Green Springs Golf Course
Travel just a little out of St. George and you’ll have more opportunities for golf at your fingertips. This includes Green Springs Golf Course in Washington City.
The vistas don’t get much more incredible than on this golf course. This 18-hole course will also challenge you. You’ll need to navigate water hazards and red cliffs to make par.
Sky Mountain Golf Course
Hurricane, UT is just a quick drive from St. George and its Sky Mountain Golf Course is worth the trip. This 72-par public golf course is owned and operated by the city, and sits in one of the most beautiful locations in southern Utah.
Sky Mountain is surrounded on all sides by Zion National Park and the Pine Valley Mountain Range, and makes for an enjoyable and scenic day.
