Sand Hollow Green Fees by Season
All rates include cart. Prices are per player for 18 holes.
Green Fee Summary
Peak season runs February through May. This is when the course is at full rack rate — $225 to $295 per round including cart. Weather is ideal (65–80°F) and the course is packed with destination golfers from across the west.
Shoulder season is October through January. Rates drop to $130–$175 while conditions remain excellent. October is the sweet spot — 75–85°F days, fall light on the red rock, and 30–40% lower rates than peak.
Summer (June–September) is the value window. Morning tee times before 8 AM go for $99–$130 and twilight after 1 PM drops to $79–$99. Start early, finish before the afternoon heat, and you're playing one of Utah's top public courses for under $100.

How Sand Hollow Compares to Other St. George Courses
| Course | Peak Season | Value Season | Access |
|---|---|---|---|
| Black Desert Resort | $275–$350 | $150–$225 | Public |
| Sand Hollow | $225–$295 | $79–$175 | Public |
| Entrada at Snow Canyon | $200–$275 | $130–$180 | Semi-private |
| The Ledges | $120–$175 | $80–$120 | Semi-private |
| Coral Canyon | $65–$99 | $45–$65 | Public |
| Sunbrook | $49–$79 | $35–$49 | Public |
Sand Hollow sits in the sweet spot between Black Desert's premium pricing and the value municipal courses. Most St. George groups book Sand Hollow as one of their must-plays and pair it with one premium course (Black Desert or Entrada) plus one value course (Coral Canyon or Sunbrook). A typical 3-round trip: Sand Hollow ($250) + Black Desert ($300) + Coral Canyon ($85) = $635 peak, or $310 in summer.

Money-Saving Tips for Sand Hollow
Best Value Strategy
October is the best month for Sand Hollow: rates are 35–40% lower than peak, weather is ideal, and the course is less crowded. A group of 12–16 players at shoulder rates saves $1,200–$2,000 total compared to a February trip. Request a free group quote for exact group pricing.
Play in October or November
Sand Hollow in October plays at 75–85°F with no wind events and 30–40% lower rates than peak. It's the single biggest savings lever available — the course is the same 7,315 yards either way.
Book Twilight in Summer
A $79 summer twilight round starts at 1 PM. Bring extra water, play at a relaxed pace, and you're on the same course that charges $295 in March. Mornings (6–8 AM) are under $130 and more comfortable temperature-wise.
Mid-Week Rates
Weekend tee times are $15–$25 more per round during peak. A Tuesday or Wednesday booking versus Saturday saves real money for a group of 12+.
Group Rates at 16+ Players
Groups of 16 or more qualify for negotiated group rates. Savings can reach $30–$50 per player depending on season and tee time. Request a free group quote for the exact number.

What You Get for the Price
Sand Hollow opened in 2003 and has collected consistent Top-5 public course rankings in Utah ever since. At par 72 and 7,315 yards from the tips, it plays longer than most courses in the region. The routing weaves through the Sand Hollow State Park property with the reservoir visible from multiple holes and sandstone cliffs framing nearly every tee box.
The course is fully public — no membership required, no invitation needed, tee times bookable online up to 30 days out. That public access combined with the championship design is why it draws destination golfers from Las Vegas (1.5 hours), Salt Lake City (4.5 hours), and Phoenix (5 hours).
Facilities include a well-stocked pro shop, driving range, full bar and grill, and a staff used to handling large groups efficiently. For groups who want a step up from the municipal courses without paying Entrada or Black Desert prices, Sand Hollow is the answer.
Is Sand Hollow Worth the Price?
At peak rates ($225–$295), Sand Hollow is one of the most expensive public courses in Utah. At shoulder or summer rates ($79–$175), it's one of the better values in desert golf. The course design genuinely earns its reputation — the red rock setting is visually dramatic, the layout is challenging without being punishing, and the conditioning is consistently strong.
For destination golf groups, the calculus is simple: Sand Hollow is a must-play on any St. George itinerary. The question is only which season makes sense for your budget and schedule.
