Welcome to Greater Zion, where golf and adventure are endless. Nestled between the towering walls of Zion National Park, the snow-capped peaks of the Pine Valley Mountains and the petrified sand dunes of Snow Canyon State Park, you’ll find 14 courses in a 20-mile radius. There’s no shortage of holes, nor is there a shortage of adventure off the course.

No matter where you play, you’ll be in awe of the deep blue skies, emerald fairways, black lava, and radiant red rocks that surround you. With mild temperatures throughout the year, every season is golf season in Greater Zion. All 14 courses enjoy sunny days, picturesque scenery, and friendly golfing communities.

Book your tee times directly or work with one of our concierges to take care of your golf rounds and lodging. Solo rounds or group trips are easily accommodated with a superb selection of hotels, golf resorts, vacation rentals and short-term rentals.

Adventure awaits you beyond the greens too. World-class mountain biking, offroad adventures, hiking, canyoneering and watersports are all easily accessible when you’re ready to take a break from your clubs. Or, the non-golfers in your party can explore these off-the-course options while you take your time on the links.

With direct flights to St. George Regional Airport (SGU) from Dallas, Phoenix, Denver and Salt Lake City, getting to Greater Zion couldn’t be easier. Or, fly to Harry Reid International Airport in Las Vegas (LAS) and make the scenic 90-minute drive north on I-15.

So go ahead, grab your clubs and come explore Greater Zion.
