Overview
One of the most scenic courses in the southwest, Sand Hollow’s Championship course has several holes that play on the edge of jagged cliffs. The front nine is a relatively straightforward desert layout with well-placed bunkers. The back side features more elevation change as golfers play along a towering ridgeline, which falls off dramatically into a red rock canyon on the left. For the views alone—not to mention the strategic design—this is a must-play in southern Utah.

“Nice Course. Large greens. Beautiful setting. Nice conditioning. Quite unique back 9... very dramatic. It's located in a town called "Hurricane" for a reason...yes, there is wind a lot of the days."

“Sand Hollow's Championship Course is a really unique course located in Southern Utah about 2 hours from Las Vegas. The terrain here is wildly unique with red sand bunkers and beautiful mountains in the distance. Most who play the course will talk about hole 11-15, which defy belief and are some of the most unique and memorable I've seen, playing on the side of a cliff. The remaining holes play on flatter ground and almost linksy with firm conditions and an emphasis on the ground game. Some holes such as 9 and 10 don't get as much attention but are excellent in their own right. The course suffer a bit with some repetitiveness on the front 9 but this is a course I highly recommend to golfers in this very isolated part of the country."

“One of the 10 most scenic courses in America. Front nine winds thru the desert brush with really well placed bunkers. Then you hit the back 9 and it may be the most scenic 9 that is not on an ocean in America. Great drivable par 4 number 13 and the par 3 number 15 is unreal and can be played from many angles and distances. Just a great great golf course."

“May be the best course in Utah! The front 9 is pretty solid; the back 9 is breath taking with some fantastic views. Can be windy, and during those times will be very challenging. The red sand in their bunkers is very appropriate for southern Utah. A must play if you are ever in the area."
