Park City Golf- 3 Reason Why Park City is One of the Hottest Golf Destinations Around

When most people think of Park City, Utah, they think of majestic mountains, 2002 Winter Olympics, skiers cruising down the mountain in freshly fallen powder and Park City Real Estate. While these are all true statements, many fail to understand the greatness of Park City in the summer. And while it's still a secret just how great the summer time is, it's quickly getting out. This is why it's important for you to take advantage while Park City isn't shoulder to shoulder with people.
There are plenty of activities from fly fishing to horseback riding. However, none of these activities can quite compare to having 14 amazing golf courses all within a 15-mile radius. You could say that Park City is the place to go in the summer for golfing. Even places like Aspen or Jackson Hole can't hold a candle to the amount of golf courses found in this quaint mountain town.
There are plenty of options for the beginner and more advanced golfer. It truly is a golf enthusiast's paradise. Take for example the Glenwild Golf Course. Designed by Tom Fazio and considered the nicest golf course in the state. While this is a private course, you may get the privilege of being one of the esteemed guests that often frequent there. Not only that, but Michael Jordan is also known to be a regular visitor to this course so getting a glimpse might be possible. You'll even find some Jack Nicklaus designed courses in the area and they are currently private access as well. Access is granted to these golf courses though membership or ownership of real estate in these golf course communities. There is a second public course being built at the Canyons Ski Resort also in Park City, which will be ready in 2013. Just outside of Park City you can travel to Heber or Midway for some more great golf on either the Soldier Hollow or Wasatch Mountain golf courses with view of Mt. Timpanogas and Sun Dance Ski Resort.
There truly is something for everyone. The best part about it all is the easy access to get to this golf mecca. You can easily hop on a plane anywhere in the continental United States in the morning and be playing golf in Park City by the afternoon. To get to the general area it's just a 35-minutes drive from the Salt Lake International airport. You'll leave the bustling Salt Lake Valley with over 1 million people and drive up Parley's Canyon to be surrounded by new found peace and tranquility.
There are also plenty of great places to get a drink, dine or shop when you're done with your golf game.
