Course description: Situated at the mouth of Logan Canyon, the course is very well-groomed with a variety of holes, from long par-5s to short par-3s with several doglegs and risk-reward driveable par-4s. There are several elevation changes, and holes 13 through 16 are affectionately known as the "Goat Holes" because of the mountainous terrain where the holes are situated.

Fun facts: The 32nd annual Girls Junior Americas Cup, featuring 72 top girls from the western U.S., Canada and Mexico will be held there next Tuesday through Thursday. The club has also hosted the Utah Open and the Men's and Women's State Amateurs. The course was semiprivate until 10 years ago.

Holes to remember: On the front nine, No. 4 is a tough par-3 measuring 220 yards from the back tees to a slightly elevated green with three bunkers surrounding it. No. 5 is a short dogleg left over a ravine that the best of drivers will try to hit from the tee. No. 14 is a par-5 with a severely slanted fairway with trees on the bottom and a narrow fairway leading to a sloped, elevated green with a bunker in front. No. 16 is another short par-4 that can be driven by the better golfers, but the narrow fairway will discourage risk-takers.
