Course description: A links-style design in a wetlands area on the east shore of Utah Lake, Sleepy Ridge is one of those courses that looks much tougher from the tee box than it actually is. Most fairways are wide and most fairway bunkers are shallow.

Fun fact: It took course developer Golden Holt almost eight years to get the course design approved by the Army Corps of Engineers. Originally, Johnny Miller was the designer before Holt switched over to Dye midway through planning.

Hole to remember: The 325-yard par-4 11th can be a make-or-break hole. Because it's downhill, most of the longer hitters attempt to drive the green, but there is little room for error. Water runs along the entire right side and comes right up to the green. The fairway is protected by bunkers on the left side.
