There is something special about desert golf. Perhaps it is the smooth green fairways, bordered by natural terrain. Then again it could be the rough, eroded red cliffs appearing as steep bulkheads in front of your tee shot. At Moab Golf Club, the views from every hole are unusual and unexpected. Take, for instance, the #6 signature hole, a 475-yard par 4 that offers a view from a cliff overlooking the town. So much incredible beauty will test your golf skills and concentration. Throughout the 18-hole golf course there are many trees to alter your shots and shimmering water hazards on three holes challenge you to keep the ball in play. The course is open to the public seven days a week, year-round, weather permitting. For the golfing devotee or the occasional player, this is a hidden jewel of a golf course. Take an extra day to play one of the top ten courses in Utah. Moab Golf Club is located just a few minutes south of Moab in Spanish Valley. This public course is a par 72. It has a pro shop, driving range and a snack bar open for breakfast and lunch. Cart rentals and lessons are available. (435) 259-6488.
