The Golf Course at Thanksgiving Point

The Golf Course at Thanksgiving Point opened in 1997 in Lehi, Utah, designed by former U.S. Open champion Johnny Miller in collaboration with Fred Bliss. The course occupies land within the larger Thanksgiving Point development, a mixed-use complex that includes gardens, museums, and event facilities along the Wasatch Front. Miller, who grew up in the region and won the 1973 U.S. Open at Oakmont, brought local knowledge to a design that works with the area's natural terrain and views of the surrounding mountains. The routing incorporates significant elevation changes and water features, with several holes playing around lakes and wetlands that serve both aesthetic and strategic purposes. The layout moves through varied terrain, with some holes offering open, links-style characteristics and others framed by mature landscaping and rock outcroppings. The course measures over 7,700 yards from the championship tees, providing length and challenge for accomplished players while offering multiple tee options for different skill levels. Thanksgiving Point operates as a public facility and has hosted various regional amateur and collegiate events over the years. The course sits within easy reach of Salt Lake City and Provo, making it accessible to both residents and visitors exploring Utah's golf offerings. The property's integration with the broader Thanksgiving Point campus gives it a distinct setting among Utah courses, combining golf with the educational and recreational amenities of the surrounding development.
