The Homestead’s 7,000-yard, par-72 course has incorporated a state-of-the-art GPS system for golfers. This high-tech system calculates exact yardages, allows golfers to keep track of their scores electronically, communicates real-time to the leader board for tournaments and includes a food and beverage ordering capability and a help button for staff assistance.

The Homestead 18-hole championship golf course, which winds through the surrounding Snake Creek Valley and Wasatch Mountains, continues to offer tremendous value with special offers and competitive rates.

The Homestead Resort’s championship golf course is a 21 year charter member of the Audobon Sanctuary Program for golf courses. This program promotes ecologically sound land management and the conservation of natural resources. The positive impact that results from these practices extends beyond the golf course and helps benefit the broader community.
