Located just a 15 minute drive north of St. George, Sky Mountain Golf Course in Hurricane promises incredible scenery and a fun-filled round. The first thing most people notice when arriving at Sky Mountain Golf Course is the view across the course, including numerous rock formations and a stunning red rock canyon. As both the pro shop and the driving range rest atop a hill above the rugged desert course, many golfers pause for photographs before starting their rounds. If you have time to warm up before heading out on the course, be sure to visit the picturesque driving range. Many golfers in the St. George area make the trip to Sky Mountain Golf Course to see their balls descend the surface toward the red rocks below.
Though this par 72 measures only 6,312 yards, the narrow fairways require precision and might encourage you to pull out some of your lesser-used clubs. Several of the holes at Sky Mountain require strategic tee shots with fairway woods or long irons, though some players may be tempted to go for the green off the tee on the short par 4s. Additionally, players will find several holes with elevated tees – most notably the opening and closing holes – that offer high-risk, high-reward shot opportunities, as well as great views of the course and the surrounding red rock desert. In the rolling fairways, golfers will encounter many more elevation changes and challenging approach shots from uneven lies. Though sometimes difficult to reach in regulation, the well-protected tabletop greens are known for their smooth surfaces and true rolls.
Like many of the courses in the St. George area, Sky Mountain Golf Course boasts practice facilities and a clubhouse with excellent views of famous natural attractions. The large driving range and putting green look out across the course with the western edge of Zion National Park looming in the background. The clubhouse features a small cafe that offers similar bird's-eye views of red rock canyons and the colorful surrounding desert.
Owned and operated by the city of Hurricane, Sky Mountain Golf Course represents a excellent value amongst the increasingly vibrant Southern Utah golf scene. As the crown jewel of the small city's public recreation department, Sky Mountain receives excellent maintenance for a municipal course and is known locally for its playable year-round condition.
