Black Desert Resort
Stay-to-Play....or is it?
Black Desert Resort in St. George, Utah is quickly earning its reputation as a golfing stay-and-play dream destination because it seamlessly blends luxury hospitality, dramatic Southwestern scenery, and world-class golf into one unforgettable getaway. Nestled amid ancient black lava fields and vibrant red cliffs in the Greater Zion region, the resort's design and amenities are informed by the raw beauty of its surroundings, offering guests a resort experience unlike any other in Southern Utah. The centerpiece of Black Desert's golf offering is the championship course designed by the late Tom Weiskopf in collaboration with Phil Smith, a 19-hole layout that stretches over roughly 7,400-7,500 yards and was the final course from the World Golf Hall of Fame architect. Since its opening in May 2023, the Black Desert golf course has garnered national acclaim and impressive accolades. It has been recognized on Golf Digest's "America's 100 Greatest Public Courses" list and placed within the Top 100 Best Courses You Can Play in the U.S. by both Golf Digest and Golfweek, and it has repeatedly been ranked the No. 1 course in Utah in Golfweek's state-by-state rankings. These honors reflect not just the course's aesthetic appeal—where lush fairways and greens contrast with striking basalt formations under brilliant Utah skies—but also its strategic design that challenges golfers of all skill levels with thoughtful risk-and-reward elements. Black Desert isn't just a place to play golf; it's a destination built around the game. The resort's stay-and-play packages combine premium accommodations with curated golf experiences, from state-of-the-art practice facilities to thoughtful on-course services and amenities geared toward both relaxation and performance. Hosting annual professional events, including a PGA TOUR tournament and LPGA competition, further elevates the resort's status among serious golfers and casual players alike, giving guests a chance to walk the same fairways as elite competitors. All told, Black Desert Resort delivers a unique blend of spectacular landscapes, top-tier golf, luxury lodging, and outdoor adventure, making it a true bucket-list destination for golfers seeking an exceptional stay-and-play experience. Resort guests are able to book tee times well in advance of their arrival. Non-resort guests are able to play the course, but public tee times bookable no more than 30-days in advance of date of play. This makes Black Desert a great last minute add-on to a broader, multi-day outing!
