Course Report
Thanksgiving Point Golf Club is the largest golf club in Utah, covering over 200 acres, and has hosted the Web.com Tour’s Utah Championship and the Champions Challenge with legends like Jack Nicklaus and Gary Player.
About
Thanksgiving Point Golf Club is a public, championship-caliber course in Lehi, Utah, designed by Johnny Miller and Fred Bliss. Stretching over 7,700 yards and set among the scenic mountain-desert landscape and Ashton Gardens, the course is renowned for its challenging layout, outstanding conditioning, and having hosted several professional events.
Caddie Tip
Pay special attention to approach shots, as many greens are guarded by water, bunkers, or severe slopes. Stay below the hole to avoid tricky downhill putts; the greens run fast and true. Course management and club selection are crucial as the wind often comes into play, especially on longer holes.
The Main Challenge
The most challenging aspect of Thanksgiving Point is its length and the forced carries over native brush, deep bunkers, and water hazards. Fast, undulating Bentgrass greens favor precision. Holes often require risk-reward decisions, and wind swirling out of the nearby canyon can make club selection difficult.
The Good
Golfers particularly enjoy the beautiful setting among the Ashton Gardens, the views of the Wasatch Mountains, and the immaculately maintained fairways and greens. The overall peaceful and spacious atmosphere makes every round memorable, and the variety of holes tests every part of a golfer’s game.
The Not So Good
Golfers occasionally mention the course’s length and difficulty from the back tees, which may be too punishing for higher handicaps. Some also wish for quicker pace of play during peak times, and more shaded areas, especially during hot summer rounds.
