Thanksgiving Point Golf Club

Great course, and while I'm not sure if locals get a discount, I thought the price I paid as an out of state visitor was fair. Not an overly difficult course, just a long course. The elevation does help a little, but I would still consider moving up a tee box for most golfers. I will usually play from the tips, but decided to play one up and that was still over 7300 yards. Conditions were fine. Greens were in good shape, but the fairways, roughs, and tees were very wet. We saw the grounds crew out watering almost every hole throughout our round. A lot of the fairways would have water seeping up as you walked. They were watering some of the greens like it was the 7th hole at Shinnecock during the 2004 US Open. The course didn't need that much water. I'd rather see courses, especially here in the Southwestern US, or where water is a precious commodity, dial back the water usage on the fairways and roughs and let the courses get a bit firmer, but that might just be me. Also saw some grounds crew working on a couple of the par 3 greens, so nice to see them actively working on making the course better. Wasn't too windy during my round, but could see that really amping up the difficulty, as I've heard this area does usually see some pretty strong winds. All in all, I'd definitely play again. Just dial back the water usage.

This place deserves better care. The bunkers are so bad I had to take a picture...Murray Parkway has better bunkers, I can name 10 city/County courses with better. Its sad, because it takes away from the round. I asked BEFORE I played about the course, and the pro shop guy said "its in excellent shape" at the turn I told the same guy about the crappie bunkers and spotty fairways, he said "yeah, our ground crew isn't too good, they don't work on them" What a joke. For the price, this is just disgusting. Go play Fox Hollow TWICE for less and its in better shape.

I was excited to checkout Thanksgiving Point a few weeks ago after seeing it on the list of top courses in Utah, but they must have not seen the course recently. Several fairways were burnt out, including the 12th hole which they have converted to a temporary 100yd “par 3”. They’re still charging around $115, well above average here, and they don’t even have the full course open. Either get it together with your maintenance team or start charging a fair price. Could be a great course but I have no reason to go back.

We have never been treated this way in a championship level course. We are all single handicap and understand the pace of play - the Marshall did not even give us one warning and asked us to skip three holes. In 30 years of playing golf, I have never experienced this type of behavior from a marshall. Not to mention for a premium course the fairways were bad and bunkers were like concrete. The marshall should be fired.

The bunkers are rock hard. No warnings whatsoever. Also, without any warning, marshal told us to skip three holes. I play a lot of golf - understand the pace of play issues. Constantly checked if anyone was waiting for us. At the end of the game, we waited for group behind for 1 hour.
