About this course

Dixie Red Hills Golf Course sits in Hurricane, Utah, a small city in the southwestern corner of the state near Zion National Park and the Arizona border. Designed by Ernie Schneider and opened in the late 1980s, the course occupies terrain characteristic of the region's dramatic red rock landscape, with views of surrounding sandstone formations and desert mesas that define the visual character of the area. The layout plays across relatively flat to gently rolling desert terrain, typical of municipal courses built in this part of Utah during that era. Schneider, a regional architect active primarily in the Intermountain West, designed the course to accommodate a range of skill levels while working within the constraints of the high desert environment. The routing incorporates native vegetation including sagebrush and juniper, and the design reflects practical considerations for water conservation and maintenance in an arid climate. Dixie Red Hills serves primarily as a public facility for the Hurricane area and the broader St. George region, which has seen significant growth in golf tourism over recent decades due to its mild winter climate. The course provides an accessible option for visitors exploring southern Utah's national parks and for local residents. Its setting offers the red rock scenery common to the region without the premium pricing of some nearby resort courses, making it a straightforward choice for golfers seeking a round in the distinctive landscape of Utah's Color Country.

Getting there

The journey to Dixie Red Hills Golf Course begins at St. George Regional Airport (SGU), a convenient hub just twenty minutes north of Hurricane, or alternatively via Las Vegas Harry Reid International (LAS), roughly ninety minutes southwest through the high desert. The final approach winds through southwestern Utah's distinctive landscape - red rock formations and sage-dotted terrain giving way to the club's perch in the Virgin River valley, where the dramatic crimson cliffs that define the region frame your arrival at this modern desert layout. For those seeking a more intimate entry, St. George's general aviation facilities welcome private aircraft with the same ease as the region's unhurried pace. The drive itself becomes part of the experience: a transition from the bustle of the Mojave into the serene, rust-colored canyonlands that make this corner of Utah a quiet refuge for serious golfers.
