Crater Springs Golf Course
About this course
Crater Springs Golf Course sits in Midway, Utah, in the Heber Valley of Wasatch County, surrounded by the Wasatch Mountains to the east and west. The course was designed by Bruce Summerhays, a Utah-based architect and longtime PGA professional who has designed and consulted on several courses throughout the Intermountain West. The layout takes advantage of the valley's natural terrain and the region's distinctive high-altitude mountain setting, which sits at approximately 5,600 feet elevation. The course plays through relatively open terrain characteristic of the Heber Valley, with views of Mount Timpanogos and the surrounding peaks providing a scenic backdrop throughout the round. The routing incorporates natural water features and the area's rolling topography, with holes that reflect the high-desert mountain environment common to northern Utah golf courses. The design emphasizes playability for a range of skill levels while incorporating strategic elements that reward course management. Midway is known for its concentration of golf courses and resort amenities, positioned roughly 45 minutes from Salt Lake City and close to Park City. Crater Springs serves both local members and visitors to the Heber Valley, functioning as part of the area's golf tourism infrastructure. The course operates in a region with a relatively short playing season due to winter snowfall, typical of mountain courses in Utah, with peak conditions generally running from late spring through early fall.

Getting there
Most visitors to Crater Springs Golf Course arrive through Salt Lake City International Airport, a straightforward forty-five-minute drive east into the Heber Valley. The route traces the shoulder of the Wasatch Range along U.S. 40, climbing gradually through Parley's Canyon before descending into the broad, pastoral basin where Midway sits cradled between mountain and meadow. As the highway gives way to quiet country roads, the landscape opens to reveal the Swiss-inspired charm of this alpine town, with Crater Springs emerging as a serene, understated retreat amid working ranches and the thermal springs that give the course its name.
