FORE LAKES GOLF COURSE

The high desert terrain 30 minutes south of Salt Lake City delivers surprisingly lush fairways that contrast beautifully with the rugged Wasatch Mountains backdrop. Four strategically placed water hazards—including a devilish pond that guards the par-3 14th green—demand precise iron play throughout this well-maintained municipal track. At 4,400 feet elevation, the thin air adds 10-15 yards to every shot, turning what appears to be a straightforward 6,800-yard layout into a genuine test of course management.
