Sand Hollow Resort

About this course
Hewn from the dramatic red rock landscape of Hurricane, Utah, the Links at Sand Hollow Resort doesn't so much sit on the land as erupt from it, offering a stark and beautiful contrast between verdant fairways and the raw desert. The course, primarily a modern design, spreads generously across the terrain, offering wide fairways that belie the strategic challenges ahead. Wind, a constant companion here, influences every shot, favoring players who can control trajectory and spin, while strategically placed bunkers demand calculated approaches rather than brute force. Designed by John Fought, with significant contributions from Andy Staples, the Links Course showcases a commitment to playability intertwined with visual drama. The routing takes full advantage of the panoramic views, with several holes playing directly alongside or over the deep canyons carved into the sandstone. While not currently a stop for major professional championships, the course has cultivated a strong following among regional amateurs and destination golfers seeking a challenging and scenic experience. The beauty of Sand Hollow extends beyond the championship layout. The resort's popularity stems not just from its striking aesthetic but also from the camaraderie found amongst its members and guests. After a round navigating the desert winds, the clubhouse grill offers a welcome respite, often buzzing with tales of near-misses and spectacular recoveries.

Getting there
Most arrivals to Sand Hollow Resort begin at Harry Reid International in Las Vegas, roughly ninety minutes southwest across the Nevada state line, though St. George Regional Airport offers a closer option for those on smaller craft or private charters. The drive northeast from Vegas traces Interstate 15 through the Mojave's final stretches before climbing into Utah's red rock country, where the landscape shifts dramatically from desert scrub to towering Vermillion Cliffs. As Hurricane exits appear and State Street turns toward Sand Hollow Reservoir, the resort emerges against a backdrop of rust-hued sandstone and impossibly blue water - a striking contrast that signals arrival in one of the Southwest's most visually arresting golf settings.
