About this course

Green Spring, carved into the stark desert landscape of Southern Utah, presents a challenging test of golf, its story etched in the red rock canyons that frame each hole. This modern design, while not steeped in decades of championship lore, offers a unique and memorable experience for golfers seeking a different kind of desert golf. The course navigates dramatic elevation changes, requiring strategic shot-making and a keen understanding of the wind that often whips through the valley. Wide fairways give a feeling of forgiveness, but approach shots demand accuracy to navigate the subtly contoured greens. Dog legs and forced carries add another layer of intrigue, rewarding golfers who can think their way around the course. Green Spring is a local favorite, a testament to accessible and enjoyable golf in a stunning natural setting. While it may not host major championships, the club fosters a tight-knit community known for its relaxed atmosphere and competitive spirit. Post-round gatherings often center around the clubhouse patio, where players share stories and laughter against the backdrop of the setting sun painting the desert cliffs in vibrant hues.

Getting there

Green Spring Golf Course sits in the high desert of southwestern Utah, most easily reached via St. George Regional Airport (SGU), a 20-minute drive south through the rust-red landscape of Washington County. For those seeking private aviation, St. George itself hosts several fixed-base operators capable of handling business jets. The final approach winds through the distinctive terrain where the Mojave Desert meets Utah's elevated plateaus - a drive that transitions from the commercial sprawl of St. George into quieter, more remote country, where red rock formations and sage scrub frame the approach to this secluded high-desert layout. Arrival at Green Spring marks entry into one of the region's most discretely positioned courses, set apart from the resort-heavy development that characterizes much of southwestern Utah.
