Sun Hills Golf Course sits in Layton, a city along the Wasatch Front in northern Utah, roughly midway between Salt Lake City and Ogden. The course was designed by Bruce Summerhays, a Utah native and longtime PGA Tour professional who turned to course design after his playing career. Summerhays comes from a prominent Utah golf family and has designed or contributed to several courses in the region, bringing a player's perspective to his layouts. The course occupies terrain typical of the Wasatch Front corridor, where the valley floor meets the foothills of the Wasatch Range. This setting generally provides elevation changes and views of the surrounding mountains, which form a dramatic backdrop to the east. Summerhays' design work in Utah tends to emphasize playability for a range of skill levels while incorporating the natural contours and features of the landscape. Sun Hills serves as a public facility in the Layton area, providing accessible golf in a region where the sport benefits from a long season and a strong local playing community. The course fits within the network of municipal and daily-fee options along the Wasatch Front, where golfers have numerous choices across varying price points and design styles. The layout reflects the practical demands of public golf in a growing suburban area while taking advantage of the natural beauty that defines northern Utah's landscape.
