Homestead Resort

The Homestead Golf Course sits in the Heber Valley near Midway, Utah, roughly an hour southeast of Salt Lake City. Designed by Bruce Summerhays and opened in the early 1990s, the course occupies gently rolling terrain at the base of the Wasatch Mountains, offering views of Mount Timpanogos and the surrounding peaks. The layout serves as the centerpiece golf amenity for the historic Homestead Resort, a property that dates to the late nineteenth century and is known for its natural hot springs and crater. Summerhays, a longtime Utah golf professional and course designer, routed the course to take advantage of the valley's natural contours and mature trees. The design emphasizes playability for resort guests while incorporating enough length and strategic interest to challenge accomplished players. Water features come into play on several holes, and the mountain backdrop provides a distinctive visual character throughout the round. The Homestead Resort itself maintains a reputation as a year-round destination, with the golf course complementing activities such as skiing, soaking in the geothermal springs, and exploring the nearby Wasatch Back region. The course reflects the resort's broader appeal to families and recreational visitors, offering a relaxed atmosphere and accessible conditions suited to a wide range of golfers. The combination of mountain scenery, resort amenities, and Summerhays' straightforward design makes the course a recognizable option for golf in northern Utah.
