Alpine Country Club

Alpine Country Club sits in Highland, Utah, at the base of the Wasatch Range, where the mountain terrain shapes both the routing and the playing experience. William Neff Sr. designed the course, which opened in the early 1990s and takes advantage of the natural elevation changes and dramatic topography characteristic of this part of northern Utah. The layout moves across rolling ground with views of the surrounding peaks, and the design incorporates the native landscape into the strategy and character of the holes. The course features significant elevation variation from tee to green on several holes, with uphill and downhill shots that require adjustments in club selection and approach. Water comes into play on a number of holes, and the bunkering reflects Neff's straightforward style, emphasizing position and accuracy rather than excessive hazards. The greens are typically elevated and contoured, rewarding well-struck approach shots while penalizing misses. Alpine Country Club serves a private membership drawn primarily from the communities along the Wasatch Front. The club operates as a family-oriented facility with a focus on golf and social activities typical of mountain-area private clubs in the region. The setting provides a contrast to the desert courses found elsewhere in Utah, with the cooler climate and mountain backdrop defining the experience. The course remains a fixture in the local golf community, known for its terrain and the challenge presented by playing at elevation.
