Eaglewood Golf Course

Eaglewood Golf Course sits in North Salt Lake, Utah, occupying terrain along the Wasatch Front where the Salt Lake Valley meets the foothills. Designed by Keith Foster and opened in the late 1990s, the course represents a municipal facility that brought Foster's design philosophy—rooted in classical architecture and strategic variety—to a public-access setting in the rapidly developing northern suburbs of Salt Lake City. The routing takes advantage of elevation changes and natural contours characteristic of the transitional zone between valley floor and mountain base. Foster's design emphasizes strategic options and playability across different skill levels, with fairways that reward positioning and greens that incorporate subtle contouring. The course features views of the Wasatch Range to the east and Great Salt Lake to the west, situating play within the distinctive high-desert landscape of northern Utah. Bunkering and hazard placement reflect Foster's attention to visual clarity and risk-reward decision-making, while the layout accommodates the climate and growing conditions of the region. As a municipal course, Eaglewood serves local golfers and visitors seeking accessible golf in the Salt Lake metropolitan area. The facility operates within the context of Utah's golf market, which balances strong recreational demand with environmental considerations related to water use and high-altitude growing seasons. The course provides a straightforward test of golf shaped by both its designer's principles and the practical requirements of public course management in the Intermountain West.
