Golf courses in Washington, UT.

Washington, UT

Coral Canyon Golf Course sits on rolling benchland above the town of Washington, Utah, near St. George, with views toward Zion National Park and the red-rock country of the region. Keith Foster designed the course, which opened in 2000 across roughly 80 acres of turf cut into the high-desert terrain. Foster's routing follows the natural contours of the land rather than reshaping it heavily, using elevation change and green complexes to create difficulty instead of relying on length alone. Dozens of bunkers and two lakes are placed to affect strategy rather than simply for appearance. The par-3 sixth, ringed by bunkers and water, is the hole most remember. The course is open to the public and plays to a par of 72 from four sets of tees, with the back tees stretching past 7,000 yards. A soft-spike, collared-shirt dress code applies, and the facility has hosted regional tournaments.
