HOG World Tour Visits Canyons Golf Club in Park City, Utah

Yesterday I took the HOG World Tour to play one of the few Utah golf courses I have not played, Canyons Golf Club in Park City, Utah.  Canyons Golf is part of the Canyons Ski resort.

Many of the holes are on ski runs, which reminded me of some of the golf in northern Michigan where in the winter it is skiing and the summer it’s golf.  The reverse is true of Michigan ski/golf.  The skiing in northern Michigan sucks, but the golf is fantastic.  Here at the Canyons it is the skiing which is far better than the golf.

There were a couple of decent holes, but overall I’d rate this course poorly.  There is a lot of Mickey Mouse design and crowbarring them in to fit in awkward spaces, like the 2nd hole below.

I did have a few fun shots, like the tee shot on the 4th hole, where the drop is so huge I carried my driver 355 yards.  Then there’s a par-5 on the back which is drive-able because the drop is so severe.  I’m not kidding.

I may post a full review in the winter, when it is ski season.  Otherwise if you are considering golf in Utah, Canyons would be one of the last places I’d recommend, especially for their asking price of about $100/round.

HOG World Tour Visits Mountain Dell Canyon Course

I had quite an enjoyable round yesterday at the Mountain Dell Canyon Course, between Salt Lake City and Park City, Utah in Emigration Canyon.  The Canyon course is one of two courses on the property, and the one I prefer.

I had some spectacular shots yesterday.  One was a punch 8-iron from under a tree in the right rough on the par-4 9th.  The ball ended up 12 inches.  Birdie.  The next one was a punch 9-iron from 145 (lots of wind), from a severe side-hill lie.  That 3rd shot on the par-5 14th astonishingly didn’t go in.  It must have lipped out for eagle.  The ball was TWO inches behind the hole.  Birdie.

I had some other fantastic shots after the round, via my golf aerial photo/video hexacopter drone.
