A Premier Utah Golf Experience

Entrada at Snow Canyon Country Club is the only truly private golf club available in Greater Zion, offering above-and-beyond customer service and attention to detail for members and onsite guests in St. George. A lodging stay at the Inn at Entrada includes access to the otherwise private course. Stay to play.

The course is phenomenal, posing just the right amount of challenge to any golfer who dares to take on the fairways. With perfectly manicured grass, fast greens, black-lava-rock features, and views of red-rock mountains in the distance, Entrada is a gem in the crown of the Greater Zion golf scene.

Hole 3 is unique, orienting golfers to swing toward the incredible views of Snow Canyon State Park in the distance. The first stroke off the tee requires golfers to navigate over a water feature, creating a beautiful picture of desert ruggedness that contrasts artfully with the manmade oases. Don’t let the captivating scenery distract you, though; the length of hole 3 demands strong, strategic drives.

Water is a recurring element at Entrada, with another signature hole, hole 7, requiring strictly straight shots in order to avoid the beautiful, yet hazardous, waterfalls that surround golfers from both sides. Golfers also have to be mindful of a subtle dogleg near the end of the hole, which requires tactful adjustments and a keen aim.

Following quickly is signature hole 8, a long par-3 that increases the challenge significantly. It has been known to puzzle even the most astute golfers, sometimes forcing them to settle for a bogey or worse. The high tee at the beginning of the hole offers views of every stunning feature Greater Zion is known for, including red rocks, snow-capped mountain ranges, and black lava rock; however, the views can be deceiving. Even from the higher vantage point, it is difficult to hit the green – the serenity that the scenery creates does well to ease the pain of a difficult round, though. 

Entrada does have an onsite restaurant for members and their guests. Non-members, don’t fear, feel free to explore nearby dining options.

As the second course ever built in Greater Zion, Bloomington Country Club has been contributing a strong sense of community and excellent, user-friendly greens to the golf scene since its establishment in 1969. From golf’s humble beginnings to the prestigious reputation Greater Zion golf has today, Bloomington Country Club has seen it all – and managed to keep pace with its newer counterparts thanks to some fresh renovations in 2019.

Bloomington Country Club features superb green undulation, fairway bunkers, greenside bunkers, and a pleasant contrast between the green fairways and the more yellowish Bermuda roughs. While Bloomington is generous off the tee, beware of the strategic placement of hazards around the greens.

Hole 9 is the star of Bloomington Country Club. The long green invites golfers to test the strength, precision, and distance of their swing. It’s a par-4 with a straightforward design, yet its length and water features provide just the right amount of challenge. The allure of the ninth isn’t just in its playability, but in the spectacular views it offers featuring the Virgin River, the picturesque Bloomington neighborhood, and red-rock views in the distance. Hole 17 presents its own challenges in addition to the spectacular views, featuring a 61-yard deep green with an incline in the middle, allowing for play to fluctuate anywhere from 130 yards to 180 yards. 

Besides the excellent golf and signature holes, Bloomington Country Club has villas available for stay-and-play getaways, scrumptious dining options, a pool, and membership packages that grant access to all of the above. Non-members are welcome to join club members as guests or explore other nearby dining options.

SunRiver Golf Club is a local favorite, boasting a unique setup compared to most other courses in the area. It is privately owned and located in the heart of a warm neighborhood community. It is still accessible for the public to play and conveniently located just off of I-15 near the south side of St. George. Here, golfers enjoy panoramic views from the Arizona border to the thriving collection of communities in Greater Zion.

SunRiver takes great pride in its smooth, speedy greens and the artful landscaping that features everything from pine trees to palm trees. When you combine these aspects with the stunning Greater Zion scenery that surrounds all of the golf courses in the area, you get a truly top-notch golfing experience.

Hole 8 is an excellent par-3. Although this hole is short, it still has plenty of challenging elements due to the inconspicuous elevation changes. The slope can cause even the most seasoned golfers to stumble if they miss at an inopportune moment.

Following quickly after is hole 9, known for its outstanding tee box. Like many of the holes at SunRiver (as you might have guessed from the name), hole 9 requires golfers to shoot over a water feature in order to reach the particularly narrow fairway. Hole 9 also features a two-tiered green, which demands precision. Even the slightest disparity in your shot will greatly impact your putting game.

Finally, signature hole 18 is a fantastic finishing hole. It incorporates a water feature on the left side and a cliff on the right side, forcing golfers to hit straight – plus, it offers an excellent view of the Pine Valley Mountains. With a good drive and wedge shot, there is ample opportunity to score a birdie. The green complex is severely sloped from back to front, requiring even more precision to avoid a precarious situation. 

SunRiver Golf Club does have a restaurant onsite. Guru’s Sports Bar & Grill offers plenty of casual bites and beverages to enjoy as you watch your favorite sporting events or as you unwind from your personal athletic endeavors. Pro tip: have an Arnold Palmer (or something stronger) on the patio.

The Ledges Golf Course comes with unique views of its own.

North of St. George (just off of SR-18), The Ledges Golf Club is perched along cliff sides adjacent to Snow Canyon State Park, Zion National Park’s “little brother.” This proximity makes The Ledges a stunning combination of unique and picturesque. 

Beauty is not the only thing to behold at The Ledges, though; the course itself is filled with difficult greens, well-placed bunkers, and plenty of other challenges that inspire golfers to compete almost as much as the scenery does.

vlcsnap 2024 05 15 13h13m09s477

The first signature hole, hole 11, is a par-5. It traverses up a hill, featuring a wide tee shot with bunkers on the left side. Hole 11 also demands strength. If golfers don’t hit the fairway quickly enough, it is difficult to recover. 

Following quickly after is hole 12, known for its exceptional views. In addition to the stunning visuals, hole 12 offers plenty of challenge at the green. It is slanted from left to right, forming a diagonal elevation pattern that is notoriously difficult to navigate. 

Finally, the definitive signature hole at The Ledges is hole 14 – a short par-4. It features a very narrow green, requiring precise aim and a straight shot. Golfers are often tempted to use a longer shot, but a steep, cliffside dropoff awaits those who swing too close to the sun. 

At every hole, you will be accompanied by stunning visuals of Snow Canyon State Park, where rich history collides with captivating geology and a never-ending well of outdoor activities from which to choose. Play with a cliffside view, and dive into the landscape once your round is complete. Everything from e-biking and leisurely hiking to horseback riding and high-adventure climbing awaits you just below the ledges.

Additionally, The Ledges Golf Club does have a full-service restaurant onsite, Fish Rock Grille. The menu features a wide variety of dining options from upscale dishes to casual snacks, and every option pairs perfectly with a round or two of excellent golf. Whether sitting on their patio or indoors, you’ll still be immersed in the beautiful red-rock surroundings.

With all of these outstanding activities and offerings, it can take more than just a few hours to enjoy everything The Ledges has to offer beyond the fairways. Luckily, they offer stay-and-play packages and vacation rentals to accommodate visitors with more extensive itineraries.

Sunbrook Golf Club has a reputation of being perfectly balanced between challenging and playable. All golfers from beginners to experts can find their niche at St. George’s very own Sunbrook – especially since there are 27 championship holes from which to choose. The combination of three different nine-hole courses – The Pointe, Woodbridge, and Blackrock – creates a unique and robust variety. Regardless of the route golfers select, the scenic views compel them to compete on a level that is as elevated as the scenery.

One of the signature holes is hole 5, found in The Pointe section of the course. This par-4 features beautiful views of the Pine Valley Mountains and a 310-yard dogleg left. The view at hole 5 is truly all-encompassing, offering visuals of the thriving city of St. George and the rugged, natural vistas in the distance.

The next signature hole is found in the Woodbridge section of the course. Hole 4 is a par-4 featuring lava rocks trailing along both sides of the hole and the green perched on an independent island in the middle of a serene water hazard. Though the challenge offers little room for error, the thrill of teeing off from a high elevation toward a floating target is unmatched.

Hole 7 of the Blackrock portion of the course is another signature hole at Sunbrook. It has the best features from the previously mentioned holes, including lava rocks incorporated into the design and a water feature near the green. The lake surrounding the green creates high stakes among the serene scenery – a combination that entices golfers to elevate the caliber of their game to align with the elevated scenery.

Sunbrook’s excellent grill, including a full breakfast and lunch menu, is the perfect bookend for your round. Enjoy your meal and/or beverages in their top-notch dining area with panoramic views of the course, or call ahead and order to-go.

St. George Golf Club is a municipal course operated by the City of St. George.

St. George Golf Club is one of the public golf courses owned by the City of St. George. It boasts an excellent, hilltop view of the city and a friendly atmosphere. The traditional layout of this course is ideal for golfers who enjoy a good walk or leisurely stroll between strokes. St. George Golf Club is positioned alongside the Ft. Pearce Wash, creating water features that weave in, out, and around the fairways.

Hole 9 is a favorite at St. George Golf Club. It is a par-5 with a water feature positioned right in front of the green. From a distance, this water feature is often invisible, creating a stealthy trap for wayward golf balls. Even the most skilled golfers struggle with this hole since it is such a high-risk, high-reward situation. When bold strokes pay off, golfers have been known to hit some of their best scores on hole 9.

Hole 16 is another signature of St. George Golf Club with even more variation – this time, in the tee boxes. Golfers can take several different approaches to this hole, being sure to navigate over the bunkers and water hazards strategically. They add another level of thrill to the hole, but one wrong swing can lead to an unfortunate drop, away from the excellent greens. Hilltop views of the City of St. George await golfers at the end of the hole as a reward for conquering the challenge.

The final hole at this course, hole 18, offers another challenge to close out the game with similar water hazards. The Ft. Pearce Piece Wash is braided into the fairway, pushing golfers to aim meticulously or risk finishing the round in the water. 

St. George Golf Club offers a stepped-up municipal experience with great service. This includes an onsite grill to satisfy pre- or post-round cravings, available to enjoy at the clubhouse or order at the turn.
