YOUR GREATER GOLF ADVENTURE AWAITS

Where the Pros Play

Golf + Adventure = Your Next Destination

Welcome to Greater Zion, where golf and adventure are endless. Nestled between the towering walls of Zion National Park, the snow-capped peaks of the Pine Valley Mountains, and the petrified sand dunes of Snow Canyon State Park, you’ll find 14 courses in a 20-mile radius. There’s no shortage of holes, nor is there a shortage of adventure off the course.

No matter where you play, you’ll be in awe of the deep blue skies, emerald fairways, black lava, and radiant red rocks that surround you. With mild temperatures throughout the year, every season is golf season in Greater Zion. All 14 courses enjoy sunny days, picturesque scenery, and friendly golfing communities.

Adventure awaits you beyond the greens, too. World-class mountain biking, offroad adventures, hiking, canyoneering, and watersports are all easily accessible when you’re ready to take a break from your clubs. Or, the non-golfers in your party can explore these off-the-course options while you take your time on the links.

With direct flights to St. George Regional Airport (SGU) from Dallas, Phoenix, Denver, Los Angeles, and Salt Lake City, getting to Greater Zion couldn’t be easier. Or, fly to Harry Reid International Airport in Las Vegas (LAS) and make the scenic 90-minute drive north on I-15.
