Ivins, UT

Black Desert Golf Course in Ivins, Utah, opened in 2023 and was the final design of Tom Weiskopf, completed after his death by his longtime design partner Phil Smith. The course is routed through a black lava flow at the edge of Snow Canyon, and the contrast between the dark rock, the green turf and the red sandstone cliffs behind it is the defining visual of the place. Rather than clear the lava, the design works around it. Fairways thread between rock fields, several tee shots carry over them, and a ball in the lava is unplayable. The greens are large with soft internal movement, and the elevation change across the property is significant. Black Desert hosted a PGA Tour event in October 2024 and an LPGA Tour event in 2025, and it is open to the public alongside the resort at the site.
