Course Details:
The Wasatch Mountain Lakes Course, located in Midway, Utah, is one of two 18-hole layouts at the Wasatch Mountain Golf Course, a public 36-hole facility within Wasatch Mountain State Park. Designed by William H. Neff, this par-71 course stretches to 6,448 yards from the back tees with a slope rating of 126, offering a scenic and accessible golfing experience. Nestled in the Heber Valley with stunning views of the Wasatch Mountains, the course features tree-lined fairways, rolling terrain, and water hazards that integrate seamlessly with the natural alpine landscape. Its well-maintained conditions, practice facilities, and public access make it a popular destination for golfers seeking a resort-style experience just 45 minutes from Salt Lake City.
How the Course Plays:
The Lakes Course plays as a strategic yet forgiving layout, with its shorter length and open fairways welcoming golfers of all skill levels. The front nine emphasizes precision with tighter, tree-lined holes and smaller greens, while the back nine opens up with wider fairways and more water hazards, including lakes that come into play on several holes. Elevation changes add variety, requiring thoughtful club selection, particularly on par-3s like the scenic 17th, which plays over water to a well-guarded green. The course’s moderate slope and manageable bunkering reward accuracy over power, making it an enjoyable round for both casual players and those seeking a scenic, strategic challenge.
