Golf Communities of Greater Zion: Where to Live on the Fairway
Greater St. George is one of the West's great year-round golf destinations. This is the complete guide to living in its golf communities — private, public-course, resort, and 55+ — across St. George, Washington, Ivins, and Hurricane.
With mild winters and dramatic red-rock scenery, greater St. George — the Greater Zion region — is one of the West's premier year-round golf destinations. For buyers who want to live on or near the fairway, here's the full lineup of golf communities, grouped by the kind of golf experience they offer.
Private club golf
Entrada at Snow Canyon (Ivins/St. George) is the area's marquee private golf community — a guard-gated neighborhood around a members-only course originally designed by Johnny Miller and fully reimagined by David McLay Kidd in 2022. Homeownership includes at least an associate club membership.
Resort & championship public golf
- Sand Hollow Resort (Hurricane) — a John Fought design ranked among Golf Digest's America's 100 Greatest Public Courses, next to Sand Hollow State Park, with strong vacation-rental options.
- Copper Rock (Hurricane) — home to the LPGA-affiliated Epson Tour's Copper Rock Championship, and zoned for short-term rentals.
- The Ledges of St. George — a public Matt Dye championship course beside Snow Canyon, with gated luxury villages.
- Coral Canyon (Washington) — a Keith Foster public course anchoring one of the county's largest master-planned communities.
Municipal (city-owned) golf communities
Greater St. George is unusual for how much of its golf is city-owned and public, which keeps these communities more accessible:
- Sunbrook (St. George) — 27 holes twice rated Utah's best by Golf Digest.
- Southgate (St. George) — a walkable, river-set course, plus the 55+ Legacy community.
- Green Spring (Washington) — one of the area's original golf neighborhoods, known for dramatic canyon holes.
- Sky Mountain (Hurricane) — a scenic clifftop course with Zion views at municipal-course value.
55+ golf living
SunRiver St. George is the only 55+ community in St. George built around its own golf course — the pick for active-adult buyers who want to live on the fairway.
