You’ve never played another course like this. The front nine is good, enjoyable desert golf. Golf worth traveling for. But the back nine is something else. One of the most dramatic, jaw-dropping, and fun stretch of holes you’ll ever experience. It’s not a run of holes that can be described. Only seen and experienced. Go experience it.

Expert Reviews


Holes 11-15 represent the finest five hole stretch in the state and one of the most dramatic stretches in the country.

Golf Course Gurus

Sand Hollow blew our group away, especially the entire back nine. Southern Utah really is a hidden gem of golf and Sand Hollow was no exception. The natural red rock, vast gorges and natural hazards made our experience spectacular and adventurous. Golf Aficionado

Sand Hollow is a genuine original and the sort of exciting layout that most green fee paying golfers are bound to enjoy. Not only does the routing use the natural drama to its full extent, the design is equal to the setting and memorable enough to lend itself easily to repeat play. Planet Golf

Sin City visitors who have a day, a car and a sense of adventure can play one of the most underrated courses in America…in Utah.

The Fried Egg

Sand Hollow is a special place in a state that golf is one of the last things one thinks about. Utah has got a gem with this course! Drew Harvie

If I was to close my eyes and picture a golf course on the planet Mars, I would definitely picture Sand Hollow. Off the Deck Golf

On the Par 4, 433-yard 12th hole, golfers get their first taste of “the ledge.” The left side of the next trio of holes is when utterances like cliff, ledge, and point of no return slip into your vocabulary. Going left means sending chills down the dimples of your golf ball. Golficity

For all the “eye candy” that surrounds you, your score may have suffered due to the speedy quick and undulating greens that architect Fought has deployed. They spill off onto the sides and have some severity as well as sweeps that will require all your creativity to score well. The A Position

I’m still in awe of this incredible golf course. I’m already looking at my calendar, trying to find a date I can go back and play the course for 2-3 straight days. Sand Hollow golf course is tough, but not unfair. The course allows for ball striking and short game creativity with the rolling hills and links style play. I was quite satisfied that I managed my way around the whole thing with one golf ball.

Hooked on Golf

Located up on a bluff, the front nine of this golf course is relatively flat, but long and challenging. The back nine then features elevation changes and a series of golf holes along the red rock cliff faces of the southern Utah landscape that challenge the mental strength of the golfer as well.

The layout of the course is incredible and that’s before you make the turn. After the 11th hole, the course gets magical. Stunning, near-surreal scenery that blows your mind. Standing on some tee boxes you get the sense your playing in heaven. There’s no way what you see before you is real. The Breakfast Ball

Featuring wonderful links-like topography within a spectacular setting…

The front 9 is really a lot of fun to play, but the back 9 is what you’ll remember and write home about. Bucket List Golf

The things to love about Sand Hollow are the out of this world scenery and the fact that it is a playable, modern course. Virginia Golf Guy


Two distinctively different nines create this highly renowned design. The front side plays out from the clubhouse and shares a fairway with the final hole on this side, providing a wide and forgiving target. It certainly gives you a sense of invincibility on the first tee shot of the day. Subtle rises and falls are incorporated into the design with the strategic bunkering of the gigantic variety framing the wild and creative greens.

For me Sand Hollow’s brilliance comes from the architecture being an appropriate complement to the land. At no time did I feel like I was experiencing sensory overload, nor did I feel like the course was in competition for my attention with the setting. Everything fit together beautifully, and I enjoyed every minute of it. Geeked on Golf

The vistas are an engulfing panorama of rock formations and mountain ranges but are soon forgotten on the back nine. To step on the 11th tee is to step on the edge of the world.
