Davis Park Golf Course



About this course
Davis Park Golf Course sits in Fruit Heights, a small community on the benches above Farmington Bay in northern Utah's Davis County. The course occupies terrain that transitions from the Wasatch Front foothills toward the flatter ground of the Great Salt Lake basin, offering views across the valley and toward the lake to the west. The setting is characteristic of Utah's populated corridor, where residential development meets open space along the mountain interface. The design reflects the work of multiple architects across different periods. Bill Neff, a California-based architect active in the mid-twentieth century, contributed to courses throughout the western United States. Pierre Hualde worked on various Utah layouts during his career, and Ernie Schneiter Sr. was a prominent figure in Utah golf course development and operations for decades. The involvement of these three designers suggests the course evolved through phases of construction or renovation rather than emerging from a single plan, a common pattern for municipal and daily-fee facilities that adapt over time to community needs and available resources. Davis Park serves as a public facility in an area where golf access is distributed among municipal courses and private clubs. The routing likely incorporates the natural grade changes of the foothill setting, and the course functions as a neighborhood amenity in a region where outdoor recreation is central to local culture. It represents the kind of accessible golf common in Utah's Wasatch Front communities.

Getting there
Davis Park Golf Course is reached via Salt Lake City International Airport, roughly thirty minutes north along Interstate 15 as the Wasatch Range rises sharply to the east. The drive traces the eastern shore of the Great Salt Lake before peeling inland toward Fruit Heights, a quiet enclave tucked into the bench above Farmington Bay. As the highway yields to residential streets climbing gently toward the foothills, the course emerges as an accessible daily-fee retreat framed by mountain views and the wide, luminous sky of the northern Wasatch Front.
