2026 Golf Getaways: Greater Zion Golf

A winter golf destination in Southern Utah

Fourteen golf courses sit within a 20-mile radius in southwest Utah, each routed through some of the sport’s most dramatic terrain. Red sandstone cliffs frame the fairways; black lava fields become natural hazards; Zion National Park sits close enough for a morning tee time and afternoon canyon hike on the same day. With 300-plus days of sunshine a year, winter isn’t a break from the season. It’s the season. While courses across the Rockies and Midwest sit under snow, Greater Zion’s greens stay open, ready for golf elevated.

PLAY

The courses range from championship-caliber layouts to impressive municipal tracks. Black Desert Resort hosts the Bank of Utah Championship, a PGA TOUR FedExCup event; Sand Hollow Golf Club features three holes ranked among Golf Digest’s America’s 100 Greatest Holes; and Copper Rock Golf Course delivers dramatic elevation changes. Coral Canyon and The Ledges consistently rank among Utah’s favorites, while Sky Mountain and Dixie Red Hills prove you don’t need a club membership for a memorable round. Explore them all at GreaterZion.com.

STAY

St. George, Ivins, and Hurricane put golfers close to the courses. Resorts offer full amenities and short drives to the first tee, while short-term rentals give groups room to spread out, with kitchens and space for clubs. For something different, glamping and RV sites put you closer to the desert without sacrificing access to a tee time.

DINE

In Greater Zion, a round rarely ends when the ball drops in the cup. Settle in for lunch with a view, grab a drink after the 18th, or head downtown to discover a local favorite. From Southwestern flavors and barbecue to Indian, Thai, and chef-driven creations, Greater Zion turns local ingredients, big flavors, and Utah originals into meals worth remembering.

EXPLORE

Golf doesn’t have to fill the whole day. Ride an e-bike past petrified dunes and lava fields at Snow Canyon State Park, soak in Zion Canyon Hot Springs, or book a sunset jeep tour for desert views you won’t see from the fairway. Add a Zion National Park hike, and a golf trip becomes a complete vacation – even for the non-golfers who tag along
