History & Heritage
Thanksgiving Point was designed by Johnny Miller in his home state and opened in 1997. At 7,714 yards, it is one of the longest public courses in the western U.S. and covers more than 200 acres — the largest public golf facility in Utah.
Ranked among the top 10 new courses by Golf Digest in its opening year. Tony Finau\'s home course. Named No. 1 public golf club in Utah by Golf Digest. The dramatic par-3 17th — a 250-yard shot over the Jordan River — is the consensus signature hole.
Signature Holes
A 250-yard par 3 with an elevated tee shot over the Jordan River — widely considered a masterpiece and one of the most memorable par 3s in the state. The dramatic downhill shot with the river below is unforgettable.
What to Expect
Massive championship-length layout through mountain desert landscape and the Jordan River corridor. Wide fairways give way to severely undulating greens — the great equalizer. Adjacent to Thanksgiving Point gardens.
Public at $55-95. Tony Finau\'s home course.
Playing Tips
The sheer length is the primary challenge — play the right tees. Undulating greens demand lag putting.
Altitude (~4,500 feet) adds some distance. Wind along the Jordan River corridor is a factor.
