Meadow Brook Golf Course

About this course
Meadow Brook Golf Course is a public facility located in Salt Lake City, Utah, designed by Mick Riley. The course serves the local golfing community in the Salt Lake Valley, offering an accessible option for daily-fee play in Utah's capital city. Riley, a regional architect active in the Intermountain West, has designed several courses throughout Utah and neighboring states, typically emphasizing playability for a range of skill levels while working within the constraints of municipal and public golf budgets. The course sits in the valley floor environment characteristic of Salt Lake City, where relatively flat terrain and the semi-arid climate influence both routing and conditioning. Courses in this area typically feature open layouts with views toward the Wasatch Range to the east and the Oquirrh Mountains to the west, though specific elevation changes and water features vary by property. The growing season and irrigation practices in this high-desert climate shape the playing conditions throughout the year. As a public course in a metropolitan area of over one million people, Meadow Brook functions primarily as a community amenity, serving recreational golfers, league play, and junior programs. The facility likely includes practice areas and a clubhouse suited to daily operations. Salt Lake City's golf market includes both municipal courses and higher-end daily-fee options, with Meadow Brook positioned as an affordable choice for residents seeking convenient access to the game.
