Sand Hollow Resort
St George, USA
Sand Hollow Resort Overview
Nestled amid the striking red rock cliffs of southern Utah, Sand Hollow Resort offers an unforgettable golf experience with two distinct courses: the 18-hole Championship Course and the 9-hole Links Course. Together, they showcase world-class design, dramatic desert landscapes, and playability for golfers of all levels.
The Championship Course, a par-72 layout stretching over 7,300 yards, was designed by John Fought and Andy Staples in 2008. It’s consistently ranked as Utah’s #1 public course and is featured in Golfweek’s “Top 100 Resort Courses.” This course is renowned for its dramatic elevation changes, wide fairways, and a breathtaking back nine that plays along stunning red rock ridgelines.
Complementing it is the Links Course, a 9-hole layout inspired by traditional British links design. With wide fairways, natural bunkering, and rolling terrain, it offers a fun and scenic round with views of Zion National Park and Pine Valley Mountain—ideal for a quick game or a more relaxed golf experience.
Guests can warm up or sharpen their game at the full practice facility, which includes a targeted grass driving range, spacious putting greens, and a dedicated chipping area. After the round, players can enjoy casual dining at The Grille, shop the latest gear at the pro shop, or unwind in the clubhouse’s well-equipped locker rooms.
Signature Holes
Arguably the most memorable hole at Sand Hollow Resort’s Championship Course is the stunning 15th hole, a short par 3 that captures everything special about desert golf.
Perched high above the desert floor, this hole plays across a deep red rock canyon to a green seemingly suspended on the edge of the world. Measuring just over 230 yards from the back tees, the hole’s challenge lies not in its length, but in the precision required — any miss short, left, or long can find trouble quickly.
The backdrop is nothing short of spectacular, with views stretching across endless red rock cliffs and toward the distant peaks of Zion National Park. It’s the kind of hole that demands a photo before you even pull a club.
