It kind of blows my mind that Utah doesn’t have higher-ranked golf courses.
Sand Hollow is the only one in the top 100 public currently at #96. You guys have some room for improvement.

The last thing I will say about this is probably the biggest reason why Utah doesn’t have better high caliber golf

Yes, we have a number of very good public courses that are relatively cheap to

Some Utah golf courses are a good to great value, most are priced about right for what they offer
JOPE
May 23, 6:37pm
Which courses?

May 23, 6:40pm
Soldier Hollow and Thanksgiving Point are both good values.

Can you name anymore? Those courses are some of the best public courses in Utah

Maybe Talon's Cove (before there were any houses out there). . .

Where do you play better public courses for cheaper?

Oregon. Some are cheaper, some more expensive, but almost all are better value.

May 23, 6:53pm
What courses would you say are a good value there?
cougaman
May 23, 7:49pm
It depends on your definition of value, but OR has a little bit of everything.

Good lost. Chahelem is the best value imo. Love playing there and it’s cheap

Several states, Michigan and Alabama are two that come to mind

I'll second Michigan. Some really outstanding golf courses up there.

Go north. Play Bountiful Ridge, Valley View and Birch Creek.

Utah is a haven for affordable, quality, public golf.

The muni courses are so cheap that it's REALLY hard for private courses to compete. Just not enough demand for a $150

After cart fees, I don’t see how they are cheap

Ratings are biased to year round locations.

You did you did just list 4 of the best courses in the state though
JOPE
May 23, 6:40pm
The private courses have much better conditions than most public courses
Jersey hunter
May 23, 6:46pm
Agree--I'd even put a few public courses above Red Ledges.
argus
May 23, 6:50pm
Not a fan of red ledges - built to sell lots - soldier Hollow has 2 better
Jersey hunter
May 23, 6:58pm
Fazio - Glenwild. Nicklaus - Red Ledges, Promontory and Park Meadows.
Bluforever
May 23, 6:44pm
Promontory is crazy good, I play it a couple times a year and every time
arnold palmer
May 23, 6:47pm
And it’s not in top 5 PC/Heber courses
Bluforever
May 23, 6:51pm
Both the promontory courses are top seven in the state of Utah
JOPE
May 23, 6:55pm
The Nicklaus course at Promontory would be in my top 5 in Utah

Most of the state is frozen in the winter

Have you been to Wisconsin in the winter?

You wouldn’t.

I hope you’re not insinuating Southgate is better than a Donald Ross design because it has better Google reviews.

The high ratio of private:public especially in PC/Heber really hurts the appeal

Which Utah courses would you replace in the top 100
