St. George Golf Courses
Sunbrook Golf Club
Utah's Only 27-Hole Championship Club
The crown jewel of St. George municipal golf with three distinct nines: The Pointe, Woodbridge, and Blackrock. Golf Digest twice rated it best in Utah.
Sky Mountain Golf Course
Stunning Zion Views
Sky Mountain Golf Course in Hurricane, Utah sits closer to Zion National Park than any other course in the St. George region — approximately 25 minutes from the park's south entrance — making it the natural choice for groups combining golf with a Zion day trip. Designed by Jeff Hardin and opened in 1991, the course plays 6,390 yards from the tips, par 72, slope 125 and rating 69.9, positioning it as one of the more accessible layouts in the area without sacrificing scenic quality or playing interest. The views at Sky Mountain are genuinely spectacular. The Pine Valley Mountain Range frames the northern horizon, while the red and white sandstone formations synonymous with the greater Zion region surround the property on multiple sides. The signature third hole — a 380-yard elevated par 4 — offers unobstructed sightlines toward Zion that make it one of the more photographed tee boxes in southern Utah. The moderate slope and relatively forgiving layout make Sky Mountain an ideal choice for mixed-skill groups, higher handicappers, or as an afternoon round after a more demanding morning layout like Copper Rock or Sand Hollow nearby. Sky Mountain's $$ pricing is among the most competitive in the Hurricane corridor, and its well-maintained fairways and greens deliver consistent playing conditions. While amenities are limited to GPS carts and a pro shop, the course's location, views, and pace of play make it a practical and visually rewarding addition to any St. George golf itinerary — particularly for groups who want to be close to Zion without sacrificing a round of golf.
Southgate Golf Club
Player-Friendly Municipal
Southgate Golf Club is St. George's most popular municipal course — an 18-hole, par-70 layout designed by Ted Robinson Sr. and opened in 1983 that consistently draws strong reviews for its variety, accessibility, and value. At 6,218 yards from the tips, slope 124 and rating 70.2, Southgate plays as a genuinely enjoyable round for a wide range of skill levels, with enough variety in hole design to keep better players engaged while remaining forgiving for higher handicappers. The front nine traces the Santa Clara River, with water hazards and strategic bunkering creating a more demanding, accuracy-focused set of holes. The back nine climbs into the Tonaquint Mountain foothills, introducing elevation changes and panoramic views of downtown St. George and the surrounding red rock landscape. The contrast between the two nines — river corridor golf on the front, elevated desert terrain on the back — gives the round a natural narrative arc that most 18-hole layouts at this price point don't offer. The signature 12th hole, a 410-yard par 4 running along the Santa Clara River, is the course's most scenic and strategically interesting challenge. In a group itinerary, Southgate fills the role of the value round that overdelivers. At $ pricing with an on-site restaurant, GPS carts, and a pro shop, it covers all the practical bases. More importantly, its consistent conditions and beginner-friendly classification make it the safest choice for mixed-skill groups where not everyone wants to tackle Green Spring's canyon challenges or Black Desert's championship layout every day. Southgate gives everyone in the group a round they can enjoy, which matters on longer trips.
Dixie Red Hills Golf Club
Where St. George Golf Began
Dixie Red Hills Golf Club is the original golf course in St. George — a 9-hole, par-34 layout designed by Ernie Schneider that opened in 1965 and helped put the region on the map as a golf destination. Set among striking red sandstone cliffs that give the course its name, the layout plays 2,733 yards from the tips with a slope of 108 — the lowest-pressure round in the St. George area and one recognized by Forbes as among the most enjoyable courses for casual golfers in the American Southwest. The course winds through natural desert terrain with mature trees providing shade and definition along each hole. Red sandstone outcroppings frame the fairways throughout, giving the layout a distinctive visual identity that no other course in St. George can replicate. The signature fifth hole is a 195-yard par 3 that plays directly through red sandstone formations to a protected green — a genuinely photogenic hole that surprises many golfers with its challenge despite the course's beginner-friendly classification. Pull carts and a pro shop provide the essentials without inflating the experience into something it is not: an honest, scenic, affordable round of golf. Dixie Red Hills is best deployed in a group itinerary as an arrival-day round, a late-afternoon add-on, or a morning warm-up before a bigger course. At $ pricing, it is one of the lowest-cost ways to play golf with a red rock backdrop in southern Utah. Its 9-hole format means a round finishes in well under two hours, making it practical to stack with an afternoon round at Sunbrook, Green Spring, or Southgate for a cost-effective, full-golf day.
The Ledges Golf Club
A Great Hub for Your Trip
The Ledges in St. George, Utah, lives up to its reputation as a stay-and-play golfing dream by combining spectacular desert scenery with championship-caliber golf and resort-style lodging. Perched against the dramatic red and white sandstone cliffs bordering Snow Canyon State Park, The Ledges Golf Club features a 7,200-yard, par-72 Matt Dye-designed course that weaves through rolling terrain, elevation changes, and panoramic vistas that embody the natural beauty of Southern Utah's high desert. Its unique design offers a compelling blend of challenge and playability, with a back nine that delivers particularly striking views and memorable holes framed by rugged canyon walls. Players can round out their experience with amenities such as GPS-equipped carts, a high-tech golf academy, a full driving range, and the inviting Fish Rock Grille clubhouse overlooking the 18th green, making each round as rewarding off the course as it is on. What sets The Ledges apart as a true destination golf experience is how seamlessly the golf ties into the lodging accommodations on-course. The resort offers vacation rentals and luxury villas situated alongside the golf course, enabling golfers to wake up and walk to tee times while also enjoying the comforts of spacious, well-appointed homes with private patios, pools, and communal amenities. After a round, guests can relax with a meal or drink at the Fish Rock Grille or 19th Hole Bar. With year-round golf weather and an atmosphere that caters to both dedicated golfers and those seeking leisure and relaxation, The Ledges creates the perfect balance of world-class golf and unforgettable resort living.
Bloomington Country Club
Classic Country Club Experience
Bloomington Country Club is St. George's original golf course, established in 1969 by designer William H. Neff, making it the longest-running layout in the area and a genuine piece of local golf history. At 7,017 yards from the tips, par 72, with a slope of 125 and course rating of 72.2, Bloomington delivers a traditional, tree-lined championship layout that plays very differently from the red rock desert courses nearby. Wide fairways, mature landscaping, and a classic routing through the Santa Clara River corridor give the course a parkland feel that offers a welcome change of pace on a multi-course golf trip. As a semi-private facility, Bloomington Country Club is not publicly bookable through standard tee time channels — group access is available exclusively through packaged arrangements, which is why booking through us matters. The club's full amenities set it apart from most area municipal courses: GPS carts, a full pro shop, an on-site restaurant, swimming pool, and tennis courts make it a genuine country club experience, not just a round of golf. The signature 18th hole — a 420-yard par 4 framed by desert panorama — is a strong finishing hole that rewards accuracy and leaves a lasting impression. Bloomington is best suited as a value complement to the bigger-name courses on your St. George itinerary. Its $$ pricing makes it one of the more affordable 18-hole options in the area, and its traditional feel provides contrast alongside the dramatic red rock layouts like Black Desert, Sand Hollow, or Entrada. Groups that appreciate variety in their itinerary — mixing championship resort layouts with classic, walkable club golf — will find Bloomington a satisfying and well-rounded addition to any multi-day trip.
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!
Sand Hollow Golf Course
Three Courses in One
Sand Hollow Golf Course at Sand Hollow Resort in Hurricane, Utah is rightfully celebrated as a stay-and-play golfing dream destination because it combines world-class golf with stunning natural beauty and resort-style accommodations that make every visit memorable. The resort is rooted in Southern Utah's dramatic red rock landscape just outside St. George and takes full advantage of its desert surroundings, offering golfers sweeping vistas of rugged cliffs, rolling dunes, and distant mountain views that create an immersive backdrop for every round. At the heart of the golf experience is the Championship Course, a par-72 layout designed by John Fought and Andy Staples that stretches over 7,300 yards and has been consistently ranked as Utah's No. 1 public golf course and a "Top 100 Resort Course" by Golfweek. The course's dramatic elevation changes and visually striking back nine — perched along towering ridgelines and cliff edges — are regularly cited as among the most scenic and thrilling stretches of golf in the West, where players often trade their club for a camera to capture the views. Beyond its flagship course, Sand Hollow Resort enhances the stay-and-play experience with multiple golf options and excellent lodging right on the property. In addition to the Championship layout, golfers can enjoy the Links Course, a nine-hole design inspired by the British Isles that blends traditional links-style play with desert terrain, as well as the short-game-focused Wee Course — perfect for warm-ups or family-friendly play. Vacation rentals, villas, and suites at the resort allow guests to wake up steps from the course, relax after a round, and take in panoramic desert views from their accommodations, while amenities like spacious practice facilities, a pro shop, and on-site dining help round out the golf retreat. With year-round sunshine, diverse golf challenges for all skill levels, and easy access to outdoor adventures in Zion National Park and Sand Hollow State Park, Sand Hollow Golf Course delivers the kind of complete golf getaway that appeals to both dedicated golfers and leisure travelers alike.
Coral Canyon Golf Course
Red Lava Sweetness
Coral Canyon Golf Course in the greater St. George area is a standout stay-and-play golf destination. It delivers a full golf experience set within some of the region's most striking natural landscapes. The 18-hole, par-72 championship course was designed by Keith Foster and stretches over approximately 7,029 yards, offering a layout that balances challenge and enjoyment for golfers of varying skill levels while showcasing panoramic views of red rock cliffs, rugged desert terrain, and mountain backdrops that evoke the dramatic beauty of "Color Country." From the moment you arrive, elevated tee shots, strategic bunkering, and scenic signature holes—such as the elevated No. 1 and the dramatic par-3 No. 6 set among red-rock outcroppings—remind players that this is golf woven into the wild beauty of the Southwest rather than simply placed upon it. With meticulously maintained greens, water features, and elevation changes throughout, Coral Canyon provides a rewarding round that feels both adventurous and refined. What elevates Coral Canyon beyond a great course into a true destination golf experience is how seamlessly it integrates into the broader getaway lifestyle that Southern Utah offers. The course is nestled near resort-style vacation homes and amenities, and there are excellent lodging and dining options nearby, including on-site dining at Bistro 72, making it easy to unwind after your round without leaving the property. If you're planning a casual buddy golf trip with multiple rounds or your annual championship outing, Coral Canyon's unique combination of memorable golf, stunning desert scenery, and convenient accommodations gives it a well-deserved place among the top golf destinations in the St. George and Greater Zion area.
Green Spring Golf Course
Canyon Challenge with Mountain Views
Green Spring Golf Course in Washington, Utah is one of the most distinctive layouts in the St. George area — a canyon-style 18-hole course designed by Gene Bates that opened in 1989 to immediate national recognition. Golf Digest named it among the Top 5 New Public Golf Courses in America upon opening, a distinction that reflects the bold, terrain-driven design philosophy Bates employed throughout the routing. At 6,859 yards from the tips, par 72, slope 130 and rating 70.6, Green Spring is the most challenging of the area's municipal-priced courses and the one most likely to expose weaknesses in your game. The course winds through natural canyon terrain with dramatic elevation changes, exposed rock faces, and the famous Devil's Gulch hole — a canyon carry that stops many golfers in their tracks. The routing demands precise shot placement rather than length, rewarding golfers who manage risk well and punishing those who don't. The signature 16th hole is a 175-yard par 3 that plays over a desert canyon to a guarded green, one of the more photogenic and nerve-testing shots in the region. For group golf trips to St. George, Green Spring functions best as a character course that tests the competitive players in your group while remaining walkable and well-paced. Its $$ price point makes it excellent value for the level of challenge and design quality on offer. The on-site restaurant, pro shop, and GPS carts provide the essential amenities without the resort premium. If your group wants a course that generates real post-round conversation, Green Spring delivers it.
St. George Golf Club
Traditional Layout with Great Greens
St. George Golf Club is one of the longest municipal layouts in southern Utah — an 18-hole, par-73 course measuring 7,217 yards from the back tees, designed by David Bingman and opened in 1975. Despite its length, the slope of 126 and rating of 73.7 reflect a layout that rewards accuracy and course management over raw power, making it playable for a broad range of skill levels. The course follows the natural curves of Ft. Pearce Wash, with the routing defined by the wash's meandering path through the property and the tree-lined fairways that have matured significantly over the course's five decades of play. The layout has a traditional, walkable character that sets it apart from the more dramatic red rock and canyon courses in the area. Wide fairways and a measured pace of play make it an excellent option for groups that want a full 18 holes without the intensity of Black Desert, Entrada, or Green Spring. The signature 14th hole — a 200-yard par 3 framed by mountain views — is one of the more visually pleasing short holes in the St. George area despite the course's municipal classification. With GPS carts and a pro shop covering the essentials, and $ pricing that makes it one of the most affordable 18-hole rounds in the region, St. George Golf Club is a practical, well-maintained option for budget-conscious groups. In an itinerary context, St. George Golf Club works best as a warm-up or warm-down round — a value day between higher-cost marquee courses, or a flexible option for players who want to squeeze in an extra round without significantly increasing the group's per-person package cost.

The golf experience at Entrada is set apart not just by its dramatic aesthetic but by its distinctive design and accolades. Golf Digest has recognized the course as one of Utah's top year-round golf experiences, and the renovation led by Kidd was celebrated for reshaping the layout into a more engaging, varied, and playable challenge that still rewards thoughtful strategy and creativity on every hole.

It blends championship golf, stunning desert scenery, and resort-style amenities into a memorable getaway experience, with private lodging accommodations offering comfort and convenience. The course opened to the public in 2020 and has earned local acclaim — voted the best golf course in Southern Utah multiple years in a row — for its challenging yet enjoyable layout that sprawls across dunes and natural desert terrain framed by the Pine Valley Mountains, Hurricane Cliffs and distant views of Zion National Park. Stretching over 7,200 yards as an 18-hole, par-72 championship course, Copper Rock's design offers a mix of strategic shot-making, dramatic elevation changes and wide vistas that appeal to golfers of all skill levels, while standout holes like the signature par-3 17th — perched with panoramic views — provide memorable moments that define a desert golf adventure. What makes Copper Rock especially appealing as a stay-and-play destination is how the golf experience is woven into both the natural environment and thoughtful visitor offerings.
