Overview

Park City has developed into a prime area for golfing, with some of the best courses in Utah located within an easy drive from town. While most of the Park City golf courses are private, there are plenty of public options around Heber and in Parley's Canyon.

As a piece of local advice, some of the private courses (particularly the new developments) will run specials that allow the general public to play the course. These are usually restricted to weekdays or off-times, and are only available sporadically. However, they can be a great opportunity to play one of the great private courses in the area.
