A Round of a Lifetime

For many of our guests, a summer stay in Deer Valley means days are spent exploring its well-groomed trail system. Mountain biking and hiking take center stage, providing the opportunity to experience 400 miles of some of the most pristine and awe-inspiring vistas in the world. Yet, these Wasatch Mountains offer another outdoor recreational activity: an elevated golf experience.

With several elite golf courses – 10 public and eight private – located within close proximity to The Chateaux Deer Valley, the possibility of enjoying this majestic alpine setting is available for all guests. Enjoy a legendary experience with memorable shots on some of Park City’s finest courses.

In Golf Digest’s 2017-18 top 10 ranking of “The Best Courses in Utah,” you will find five of the 10 located in Park City, most within a 15-minute drive time or less. Golf Digest ranks Utah’s top courses as follows:

1- Glenwild G.C., Park City
2- Victory Ranch, Kamas
3- Red Ledges G.C., Heber City
4- Promontory Club (Pete Dye Canyon), Park City
5- Talisker Club at Tuhaye, Park City
6- Promontory Club (Painted Valley), Park City
7- Entrada at Snow Canyon C.C., St. George
8- The Country Club, Salt Lake City
9- Sand Hollow Resort (Championship), Hurricane
10- Park Meadows C.C., Park City

If this Golf Digest list doesn’t convince you that Park City is the mecca for golf in the state of Utah, then the architects themselves should be enough to draw the attention of any golf obsessionist, or weekend warrior. Names like Jack Nicklaus, Tom Fazio, Pete Dye, and Mark O’Meara are responsible for all five course designs around Park City in Golf Digest’s top 10 list.

If you are looking for more affordable options, but still wanting to find yourself putting to the backdrop of breathtaking mountain panoramas, meander down Parley’s Canyon and choose between the two courses at Mountain Dell. Or, drive 30 minutes south to Midway where three courses sit at the base of the towering Mount Timpanogos.

Did we mention mountain golf is played at altitude? Come inflate your ego a little. Many of our golf courses average around 7,000 feet above sea level or even higher. For most of us, that’s a one to two club difference! Watch your ball soar into the distance as the grandeur of the peaks attempts to steal your breath away.

Whether you want to hit the links at the bustling Park City Golf Club or take advantage of our golf summer package that gets you tee times at Promontory Club’s Pete Dye Canyon Course, there are options for you and your family or friends. It’s no wonder Park City has been revered as a burgeoning mountain golf destination

If it’s memorable golf you’re looking for, come stay at The Chateaux Deer Valley in Park City this summer and get into the swing of things.
