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.

The 14 Courses

Designed by Tom Weiskopf, the last course he designed, and built through ancient lava fields. Black Desert hosted Utah's first PGA Tour event since 1963 in 2024, and Golfweek has ranked it the No. 1 public course in Utah. Tee times are open to the public, with resort and member options.

Tips for Golfing in St. George

• Book early in winter and spring. Peak season tee times fill quickly, especially at the resort courses.
• Look for summer and twilight rates. Courses discount heavily in the hot months.
• Consider city passes. St. George's city-owned courses offer local discounts and passes for frequent players.
• Bring water and sunscreen. Desert sun is strong in every season.
• Keep it in play. Desert and lava areas off many fairways mean lost balls rather than playable rough.
