ABOUT TALONS COVE GOLF COURSE IN SARATOGA SPRINGS, UTAH

TalonsCove at Saratoga Springs, located 30 minutes south of Salt Lake City, and has been a stunning surprise to many golfers. The 6931 yard layout is one of Utah's most definitive golf courses and a "Must Play" in northern Utah. This fabulous Gene Bates design challenges the mind and strength of golfers with a visual barrage of exceptional golf holes.

The first few holes of the golf course let you warm up a bit before unleashing its claws upon you with few simple holes. While the openers play seemingly short, the holes are by no means easy birdies.

The outward nine is defined by 3 jaw-dropping par 3's, that will have you struggling to keep your focus on the golf with incredible views of Mount Timpanogos and Utah Lake as the backdrop. One of the menacing par 3's in particular is the 240 yard sixth, which from the tee is visually quite intimidating, and looks like forever to get to the green. This hole usually has a prevailing wind and club selection is most difficult. The large green is very well protected by signature Gene Bates clover-like bunkers and is easily a 3-club green. Once you reach the large putting surface putting you will notice subtle undulations that make for tough birdies.
