48 HOURS IN PARK CITY

came year after year for this prestigious PGA champions tour event. East Canyon Creek, a magnet for wandering golf balls, winds lazily through the back nine. Jeremy Ranch Director of Golf Jake Hanley said he loves to watch the deer, moose and elk that often visit the course.

The 433-yard, par 4 18th plays uphill, leading to a two-tiered green surrounded by bunkers. It’s by far the most challenging hole.

Most popular is the 4th hole. This 191-yard par 3 drops dramatically downhill over severe slopes to a tricky green.

Most scenic is the long, par 4 5th hole. Steep slopes flanking the fairway funnel well-struck tee shots straight to the green.

A unique amenity, the club’s Nordic Center, operates all winter, offering groomed classic and skate ski tracks for area enthusiasts.

PARK MEADOWS COUNTRY CLUB

Designed by golf giant Jack Nicklaus in the early 1980s, this signature course features wide fairways, abundant bunkers and quaint wooden bridges. It has played host to 10 senior PGA Tour championships over the years and was named one of the top 10 courses in the state by Golf Digest magazine. The three words that best describe it: classic, sandy, and unpredictable.

“You can walk it. Play it a couple of times a week and there’s still variety and excitement. Precise approach shots are key,” said Eric Johnson, PGA Director of Golf at the Meadows. It’s a traditional Scottish links course, virtually devoid of trees, and it plays differently every day depending on wind direction and speed.

The short, par three 12th is the most scenic hole and arguably the most popular. From an elevated tee, players say they enjoy watching the ball flight to the green below. Most challenging is the long, par 5 15th, playing to an island green.

The club’s elegant dining room tops the list of amenities here. Inspired Executive Chef Alex Woodside offers up award-winning cuisine. Park Meadows is a classic country club venue and membership is required.
