Nestled in the
Northwest corner of the Salt Lake Valley, just minutes from downtown and Salt
Lake City International Airport, Rose Park is known for some of the finest bent
grass greens in Utah. After opening as a nine-hole course in 1957, Rose Park
moved into the 1970s as a contemporary 18-hole layout renowned for its
succession of doglegs and some of the best-manicured fairways in Utah. A variety
of pine and willow trees frame most fairways, requiring accuracy off the tee.
With subtle doglegs and well-manicured, tree-lined fairways, this course has
played host to various state and USGA qualifying events and was site of U.S.
Senior Amateur and National Public Links qualifying in 1996.
If you need to practice your swing or work on your short game, Rose Park has a
wonderful driving range, putting green and chipping area. The full-service pro
shop and snack bar can fill both your golf bag and your empty stomach. Watch for
a wide variety of waterfowl at Rose Park. Ducks, geese and other feathered
friends often swoop in to spent the day on the banks of the Jordan River and
adjacent wetlands. This course is also very enjoyable for those who like to
walk. |
