The best golf courses in St. George, ranked

Greater St. George packs 14 golf courses into a 30-minute radius — from championship desert layouts that host professional tours to friendly municipal tracks locals play year-round. Here's how they stack up, and which one is right for your round. Green fees change by season; confirm current rates with each course.

The marquee three

  1. Sand Hollow Golf Club (Hurricane) — The John Fought–designed Championship course, routinely ranked the best public course in Utah, plays along and into red-rock canyons; its cliff-edge holes are the most photographed in the state. Our pick for the one round you can't miss.
  2. Black Desert Resort (Ivins) — Tom Weiskopf's final design, routed through black-lava fields at the foot of Snow Canyon. It now hosts both PGA Tour and LPGA events, making it the region's most prestigious course. Our pick for tournament-caliber golf.
  3. Entrada at Snow Canyon Country Club — Private, par 71, refreshed by a 2022 David McLay Kidd redesign, weaving between lava rock and red sand. Our pick if you can get on as a member or guest.

Best public value

  1. The Ledges Golf Club — A Matt Dye design north of town with big elevation changes and Pine Valley Mountain views; the best non-resort public test in the area.
  2. Coral Canyon Golf Course (Washington) — A Keith Foster design that's a local favorite for shot variety and conditioning.
  3. Copper Rock Golf Course — Host of an LPGA Epson Tour event, a scenic daily-fee course that punches above its price.

Municipal gems (where locals play)

  1. Sunbrook Golf Club — 27 holes of city-owned golf along the Santa Clara River; the best municipal value in town.
  2. St. George Golf Club — A mature, tree-lined par-73 muni that plays longer than its price tag suggests.
  3. Green Spring Golf Course (Washington) — Known for the dramatic par-4 "Devil's Gulch" 6th, one of the region's signature holes.
  4. Southgate Golf Club — A flatter, walkable par-70 muni that's forgiving for higher handicaps.
  5. Sky Mountain Golf Course (Hurricane) — A municipal course with jaw-dropping Pine Valley and Zion-country views for a fraction of resort prices.
  6. Dixie Red Hills Golf Course — A charming 9-hole, par-34 muni tucked into the red cliffs downtown; the region's most affordable and most historic round.

Semi-private & private

  1. SunRiver Golf Club — A semi-private, par-71 course at the heart of the SunRiver 55+ community.
  2. Bloomington Country Club — The area's original private club, a classic parkland layout near the Virgin River.
