Played Fri april 4, and stayed here at the resort for 2 nights. 5:15 round. Sunny, windy day. Teed off at 10:30, a little chilly to start, but warmed up and was short sleeves most of the round. Wind blowing at 30-40 mph.. .so definitely a 2-3 club wind. Greens firm and fast, running a solid 12.. I'd say 11 into the grain, a fast 13 down grain... downwind downgrain, forget: good luck. Course in amazing shape, as they are prepping for the LPGA event in a month. The PGA just signed a 10 yr contract as they were here in Oct. A wonderful, fun track that runs through a bed of lava rock... which is big Big Island vibes... who knew there was a volcano in Utah? A forecaddy is required, and let me tell you.. it's required to play... as there were multiple blind shots and he was very helpful with knowing where to miss. It's a rolling course, water on a few holes, lava rock everywhere... big greens. One pin placement was unplayable, as literally everyone in our group of 40 putted off the green. A pin on the top of a false front, so practically every putt was downhill downgrain downwind. but other than that, tough and fair. I would love to play this multiple times. The pro shop check in is on the opposite side of the resort as the first tee and driving range, which is weird... there is a ton of construction going on, which doesn't affect play, but a little effect on aesthetics. Food and nonalcoholic drinks are free before and during your round. There is a bar/kitchen at the driving range, so give yourself time to check in, drive over to the other side of the resort, and eat for free, in addition to warming up. They have a turnstand that serves tacos (birria, al pastor, fish, asada, tasty in that order) that you'll hit twice. They don't sell alcohol on the front 9 (2 different cities, 2 different alcohol rules). But the cart girl is totally free except for alcohol. They have a 19th hole, a 70 yd par 3 over water into a alcove green... totally cool. My guess is they jack up rack rates and resort rates once they are out of 'preview' period. the entire area is getting the Aspen treatment, so I expect the cost of everything to skyrocket in 10 years. Had a blast.
