HIT THE LINKS
If golf is on your mind then you’re in for a treat with quick access to nine golf courses. Due to the number and variety of courses, you’ll find it easy to get on and even easier to get around. But don’t be fooled by the low green fees at these tracks; you’ll be playing on sweetly conditioned courses that provide every level of hacker with a good test. The locals are spoiled, so try to control your laughter when you hear them complain about paying under $25 for a round of golf.
HEART OF THE CITY
MOUNT OGDEN GOLF COURSE
This course is a challenge, but a must-play. Built into the foothills
overlooking Ogden, you won’t get a better view of the city unless you’re hiking one of the dozens of trails that network directly above the course. It’s hard to focus on your game with such views, so you won’t mind as your score takes a beating with the narrow, scrub oak-lined fairways and tricky greens, which, hint: all break toward the Great Salt Lake.
AROUND TOWN
THE BARN GOLF CLUB
The Barn is family owned and operated, resulting in a customer-friendly atmosphere with a well-conditioned course that pays attention to the details. This par-71 track measures just a tad bit over 6,000 yards, but don’t let the length deceive you. There are plenty of well-placed lakes and mature trees to keep you honest. |
