Why St. George Works for Golfers
Winter is the main season. December through February brings daytime highs that are usually in the 50s, while much of the country is snowed in. Spring and fall are prime, and summer play shifts to early-morning tee times with lower rates. The courses themselves range from tree-lined city layouts to desert target golf framed by red rock and black lava.
