The Mountain Dell
Canyon course features 13 of the original 18 holes at Mountain Dell and
five new holes rolling up the eastern canyon carved out of the natural oak
brush and rose thickets. At an altitude of 6,000 feet, Mountain Dell
is near exit 134 on Interstate 80, 12 miles east of Salt Lake City and 13
miles west from Park City. Mountain Dell is about eight degrees cooler in
the summer than the Salt Lake Valley.
Players on the Canyon Course
in the morning or early evening may see deer, elk, moose, eagles, hawks,
badgers, squirrels, and an occasional cougar. The Canyon course
stretches up the eastern mountain from the clubhouse about four miles
before looping back, so motorized golf cars are recommended.
Considered by many
to be the most beautiful public golf course in Salt Lake City, Mountain
Dell is nestled in Parley's Canyon. It offers two challenging
18-hole courses, the Lake Course and the Canyon Course, both of which
traverse mountainous terrain. Truly enjoy the ambience of these
delightful courses by taking a drink of fresh water tapped directly from a
natural spring; look around the hills and lakes for moose; and take a deep
breath of mountain air.
