What are the public golf courses in St. George, Utah?

Here is every public course this guide covers, with the basic facts listed on each course's own site or public course listings. Where sources disagreed on a detail, we left it out rather than guess, so check the scorecard before you go.

Sunbrook Golf Club

Sunbrook is the city's largest facility, with 27 holes split into three nines: Black Rock, The Pointe and Woodbridge. You play any two of them for an 18-hole round, so ask the pro shop which pairing is open and grab the right card. It sits on the west side of St. George at 2366 West Sunbrook Drive.

St. George Golf Club and Southgate

These are the city's two other 18-hole courses. Southgate is on the south side of town on Tonaquint Drive. Both are run by the city's parks and recreation department. Public listings disagree on par for both, so check the card on the first tee.

Dixie Red Hills

Dixie Red Hills is a 9-hole course and the city's first, opened in 1965. It's the obvious pick for a short round, a warm-up nine on arrival day, or a newer golfer in your group who doesn't want to face a full 18 on a championship-length course.

The Ledges and Coral Canyon

The Ledges is an 18-hole, par 72 course in St. George off Ledges Parkway, near Snow Canyon State Park. It takes public tee times, and you don't need to stay at the resort to book. Coral Canyon is an 18-hole, par 72 course in Washington, the town that borders St. George to the east.

Sand Hollow and Sky Mountain, in Hurricane

Hurricane is about 18 miles east of St. George. Sand Hollow Resort has two courses: the 18-hole, par 72 Championship Course and a separate 9-hole, par 36 Links Course. Sky Mountain is an 18-hole, par 72 course owned and operated by the City of Hurricane. Pairing them makes an easy day: both are in the same town, a short drive apart.

Which golf courses in St. George are owned by the city?

The City of St. George owns and runs four courses with 72 holes between them: Sunbrook (27), St. George Golf Club (18), Southgate (18) and Dixie Red Hills (9). Between them they cover a full 27-hole facility, two regulation 18s and a quick nine, so a group can stay on city courses for an entire trip.

Sky Mountain is also municipal, but it belongs to the City of Hurricane rather than St. George.

Can you play Entrada at Snow Canyon?

Entrada at Snow Canyon Country Club is a private club. It moved from semi-private to private in 2006, and today outside golfers generally get on by booking a stay at the Inn at Entrada, which comes with access to the course. If Entrada is a must for your trip, book the room and tee time together, well ahead, and confirm the current guest policy with the club directly.

When is the best time to play golf in St. George?

St. George is desert golf, and the season is shaped by heat. Average July highs at the city's airport run around 100 degrees Fahrenheit, while winter days are mild. That makes fall through spring the comfortable time to play, so book further ahead for those months.

Summer golf works if you plan for it:

• Book the first tee times of the day. A 6:30 start finishes before the worst of the afternoon heat.
• Take a cart. Walking 18 holes in triple digits is a bad trade, and you'll have more left for the last few holes.
• Drink on a schedule, not on thirst. Our guide to summer golf, hydration and heat safety covers what to drink and the warning signs of heat illness.

Winter mornings can start cold, with frost delays possible on the coldest days. Layer up and plan a late-morning tee time in December and January.

How do you plan a golf trip to St. George?

Group the courses by town and you'll spend more time playing and less time driving:

• St. George: Sunbrook, St. George Golf Club, Southgate, Dixie Red Hills and The Ledges.
• Washington: Coral Canyon, a few minutes east of St. George.
• Hurricane: Sand Hollow Resort and Sky Mountain, about 18 miles east.

For three days, a sensible split is one day in each area. Play Sunbrook or The Ledges on day one, Coral Canyon and a city course on day two, and Sand Hollow and Sky Mountain on day three. Dixie Red Hills fills an arrival afternoon nicely. If you're flying, Las Vegas is about 120 miles southwest on Interstate 15, roughly a two-hour drive.

Leave room for pace. Our guide to how long a round of golf takes will help you avoid stacking 36 holes into a day that only fits 27. For packing, budgeting and organizing a group, see planning your first golf trip.

Do golfers score worse on courses they don't know?

A little, and it's worth knowing before a trip. We compared home and away rounds for Flighting members who posted at least three of each. These are gross scores with no adjustment for course difficulty, because we don't store each course's rating and slope.

The average member scored 0.6 strokes higher away from home, and 56.8% of members scored worse on the road. That's small. Course difficulty probably explains part of it, since a trip course is often harder than a home track. The practical lesson is to judge a St. George round by the course's rating and slope, not by your home scores.

How do you play a desert golf course?

Desert courses punish misses more sharply than tree-lined parkland. A few adjustments save strokes:

• Read the local rules first. The scorecard tells you whether desert areas are marked as penalty areas (red or yellow) or play as the general area. In a penalty area you can drop out for one stroke. In the general area you play it as it lies or take unplayable ball relief for one stroke.
• Club down off tight tees. If a hybrid finds the fairway and a driver brings desert into play on both sides, take the hybrid. A 160-yard approach from the short grass beats a drop.
• Watch the elevation. St. George sits at roughly 2,800 feet, above the 2,000 feet the official par guidelines assume, so the ball carries a little farther than at sea level. Elevation changes on the course matter too. Check the yardage to the flag on approach shots instead of trusting your eye.
• Bring extra balls. Lost balls are part of desert golf, and a stroke-and-distance penalty stings less when you aren't also out of balls.

If you want to compare your St. George rounds with your scores at home, Flighting keeps every posted round by course so you can see how a trip actually went.
