The Links at Overlake

The Links at Overlake sits in Tooele, Utah, roughly thirty miles west of Salt Lake City in the Tooele Valley. Designed by Drew Hall and William H. Neff, the course occupies terrain characteristic of Utah's high desert basin country, where the landscape opens toward distant mountain ranges and the climate runs dry for much of the year. The routing takes advantage of the valley's natural contours and the designers worked within the constraints of water availability and native vegetation typical of the region. The course serves the Tooele community and the broader Wasatch Front area, offering a public golf option in a part of Utah where development has expanded in recent decades. Hall and Neff's design reflects contemporary approaches to golf in arid Western environments, where strategic bunkering and ground game options often compensate for limited tree cover and where wind can be a factor during much of the playing season. The layout provides variety through elevation changes and views that extend across the valley floor. Overlake functions as a daily-fee facility accessible to residents and visitors exploring golf beyond the more densely developed Wasatch corridor. The course fits within Utah's growing golf infrastructure, where designers have increasingly addressed the challenges of building and maintaining courses in water-conscious settings. Players encounter a straightforward test of golf shaped by the high desert environment and the practical demands of sustainable course management in the Intermountain West.
