Park City & Heber Valley
Where Mountain Luxury Meets Playable Public Golf
Perched high in the Wasatch Mountains, Park City and neighboring Heber Valley offer far more than a luxury golf escape—they deliver one of Utah’s most complete mountain destinations. Known globally for hosting the 2002 Winter Olympics, the region blends alpine scenery, four-season recreation, and upscale amenities into a setting that feels both refined and adventurous. In summer, miles of hiking and biking trails wind through aspen groves and wildflower-covered hillsides, while nearby reservoirs and rivers invite paddleboarding, fly fishing, and boating. Scenic drives over Guardsman Pass and through Midway reveal sweeping valley views framed by rugged peaks, and the crisp mountain air—often 10 to 15 degrees cooler than the Salt Lake Valley—offers a refreshing escape from the desert heat.
Park City balances its outdoor roots with a polished resort-town atmosphere. Historic Main Street is lined with galleries, restaurants, and boutique shops, creating a lively après-golf scene, while nearby Deer Valley Resort and Park City Mountain transition into summer hubs for concerts, lift-served hiking, and scenic chairlift rides. Just down the road, Midway adds a quieter, European-inspired charm, offering a relaxed counterpoint to Park City’s energy.
Beyond golf, visitors will find no shortage of things to do:
- Outdoor adventure – Hiking, mountain biking, and scenic drives through aspen-lined mountains
- Water recreation – Boating, paddleboarding, and fly fishing in nearby reservoirs and rivers
- Resort experiences – Summer concerts, lift rides, and trails at Park City Mountain and Deer Valley Resort
- Charming local culture – Dining, shopping, and galleries along historic Main Street
- Cooler climate – A welcome escape, often 10–15 degrees cooler than the Salt Lake Valley
Within this setting, golf fits naturally into the landscape—offering players mountain views, elevation changes, and a rare mix of exclusivity and accessibility.

435-615-4728
Public Course
18-Hole, Par 70
Set at the base of Park City Mountain in Park City, Canyons Golf Course delivers one of the most visually striking and dynamic rounds in the state. Designed by Gene Bates, this par-70 layout stretches through dramatic mountain terrain, featuring rolling fairways, elevation changes, and forced carries that demand both precision and creativity. The course plays just over 6,200 yards, but don’t let the scorecard fool you—tight landing areas, native fescue, and strategic bunkering make it a true test, especially for players who stray offline.
What truly defines Canyons is its immersive mountain setting. Fairways weave through ski runs and aspen groves, with several holes offering elevated tee shots and panoramic views of the surrounding peaks. The back nine, in particular, climbs into the mountains and delivers a memorable finish that feels distinctly different from traditional valley courses.

Silver and Gold Courses
Set in the scenic expanse of Heber Valley near Midway, Soldier Hollow Golf Course offers 36 holes of championship golf at the Soldier Hollow, a venue made famous during the 2002 Winter Olympics. The facility features two distinct layouts—the Gold Course and the Silver Course—both designed by Gene Bates to showcase the natural beauty of the valley. Wide fairways and generous landing areas make the courses approachable, but strategic bunkering, water features, and undulating greens provide plenty of challenge for more skilled players.
What sets Soldier Hollow apart is its sense of space and sweeping scenery. Situated on elevated terrain, many holes offer panoramic views of the surrounding mountains and valley floor, creating a wide-open feel that contrasts nicely with tighter, tree-lined courses in the region. The Gold Course is generally considered the more demanding of the two, while the Silver offers a slightly more forgiving round—making the facility ideal for a range of skill levels. Combined with its Olympic pedigree and consistent conditioning, Soldier Hollow delivers a memorable and distinctly Utah golf experience.

What makes Wasatch Mountain memorable is its immersion in nature. Towering pines, meandering streams, and frequent wildlife sightings create a round that feels as much about the setting as the score.
