Sky Mountain Golf Course

Jeff D. Hardin designed Sky Mountain Golf Course in 1994 for the city of Hurricane, Utah, a 6,312-yard par-72 municipal layout perched above the Hurricane Valley with 270-degree panoramic views of Zion National Park's red-rock escarpments on the northern horizon. The views alone make Sky Mountain worth the 20-minute drive east from St. George. Hardin routed across rolling terrain on a modest footprint, this isn't a modern 7,200-yard brute like Entrada or the championship cards at Sand Hollow. Course rating of 69.9 and slope of just 115 from the tips means Sky Mountain is genuinely playable for groups with a mixed skill range, where other St. George-area courses might chew up the higher handicaps. Peak green fee runs $50-70, municipal pricing with Zion National Park as your scenic backdrop. Fits a St. George trip as the 'we want the views without the 131-slope demand' round that everyone in the foursome can actually enjoy.
