Ball marks are everywhere as no one fixes them on this course. Severe undulations, bowls and multiple tiers could all aid in possible 3 putts if hit on the wrong side of the putting surface. Variety is the name of the game for the greens allowing for lots of different approach shots. Greens – The greens were in great shape and rolled true (minus ball marks) and a little quick (surprising for November). The rough is a mixed bag, offering a clean lie, thick out or the dreaded lost ball. Firm enough to keep the ball up but soft enough to allow for a good swing under the ball. The grass is green with little to no dead spots throughout the course. From the tee boxes, rolling waves and contours line almost every Par 4 and 5 fairway. Cut and manicured perfectly against the rough and throughout the holes from tee to green. Unfortunately, the staff did not meet the quality of the golf course.įairways – Each hole was in EXTREMELY good condition for the beginning of November and the fairways were no exception. Practice facilities are adequate with a good driving range and a large, single putting green that is in good shape. These 4 holes appear to be transported directly from the Hobble Creek Golf Course and make this course highly recommended. If this is your first time playing and no group is behind you, the Utah Golf Guy recommends driving up the fairways of #6 and #7 to see the layout before hitting your tee shot. Missing the fairway on any of these holes is scorecard death. This stretch makes its way through the thick wilderness requiring accurate and smart tee shots. These holes are in stark contrast to the open and generally treeless layout of the other 14 holes.
This is unfortunate, due to holes 6,7,8 and 9 being my favorites on the course which would have provided the perfect finishing holes. Simply hitting fairways is not enough because you will be hitting from uneven lies or blind second shots.Ī few years ago, Old Mill flipped the front 9 to the back 9. From the tee it is important to pick a target and choose the right club to hit that distance. Most fairways are rolling mounds but have been designed to provide flat landing areas usually 240 yards past the tee. The course is not long but big hitters have an advantage avoiding the decisions to layup and/or having the possibility to land on uneven surfaces in the fairway. The higher elevation both on the tees and greens requires proper club selection. The tips offer some fantastic elevated tee shots and forced carries. The course sits on a mountain slope of Mt Olympus and is built on top of an old gravel pit. The course was developed in 1998 and offers spectacular views of the Wasatch Valley. The interior provides the perfect atmosphere to relax in front of the fireplace while enjoying your favorite drink from the bar.This Salt Lake County golf course is one of the newest golf courses in the area. The 6,000 square foot clubhouse offers panoramic golf course views from its balcony. The course offers four sets of tees, ranging from 5,509 yards to 6,977 yards, and is designed to accommodate players of all skill levels. The golf course features lush bent grass tees, fairways, greens and 98 white sand bunkers. Somerset Creek meanders through the property and dramatic views add to the aesthetic beauty of the golf course.
