Salt Lake City has ranked as Golf Digest's number-one golf city in the United States in recent years. There are nine city courses with one central contact for general information and reservations: tel. 801/485-7730 or 801/484-3333 for the automated tee-time reservation system; and the excellent website, www.slc-golf.com. Rates range from $6 to $14 for 9 holes and $22 to $27 for 18 holes, and all courses require reservations. The 18-hole, par-72 Bonneville, 954 Connor St. (tel. 801/583-9513), has hills, a large ravine, and a creek. The 9-hole, par-36 Forest Dale, 2375 S. 900 East (tel. 801/483-5420), is a redesigned historic course with huge trees and challenging water hazards. The 18-hole, par-72 Glendale, 1630 W. 2100 South (tel. 801/974-2403), features fine bent grass greens and splendid mountain views. The Jordan River course, 1200 N. Redwood Rd. (tel. 801/533-4527), is a challenging executive par-3, 9-hole course that meanders along the banks of the Jordan River. There are two 18-hole courses at Mountain Dell (tel. 801/582-3812), in Parley's Canyon east on I-80: the par-71 lake course and the par-72 canyon course, with breathtaking views and a strong likelihood of seeing deer, elk, moose, and other wildlife. The 9-hole, par-34 Nibley Park, 2730 S. 700 East (tel. 801/483-5418), is a good beginner course. The 18-hole, par-72 Rose Park, 1386 N. Redwood Rd. (tel. 801/596-5030), is flat but challenging. The city's top course is the 18-hole, par-72 Wingpointe, 3602 W. 100 North, near the airport (tel. 801/575-2345), a very challenging links-style course designed by Arthur Hills.
