Entrada at Snow Canyon

In Golf Courses by Matt Ozanne

Located in St. George, Utah and dubbed the “unretirement community”, Entrada at Snow Canyon boasts beautiful rock canyons and rugged desert terrain. Entrada is a private sanctuary for golf enthusiasts seeking unparalleled beauty and challenge. Originally designed by the legendary Johnny Miller and Fred Bliss, this masterpiece of a course was recently reimagined by David McLay Kidd during their 17-month renovation. McLay Kidd famously designed Bandon Dunes and brought some of his links-style design to the desert during his reimagination. The 22,000 square foot clubhouse won “clubhouse of the year” by Golf, Inc.

Entrada at Snow Canyon bears the unmistakable mark of two of golf’s most esteemed architects, Johnny Miller and David McLay Kidd. Renowned for their ability to harmonize the course with its natural surroundings, Miller and McLay Kidd have crafted a layout that seamlessly integrates the rugged beauty of Snow Canyon State Park into each hole. From dramatic elevation changes to strategically placed hazards, every aspect of the course reflects their commitment to creating a challenging yet rewarding golfing experience for the members.

What sets Entrada apart is its unique layout, which takes full advantage of the stunning desert landscape and stunning lava beds. Each hole presents distinct challenges, whether it’s navigating through narrow fairways bordered by native vegetation or tackling well-guarded greens nestled amidst red rock formations. Standout holes like the par-3 11th, aptly named “Red Mountain,” offer panoramic views of Snow Canyon and require precise shot-making to avoid the surrounding hazards.

                Adding to its allure, Entrada at Snow Canyon holds a unique claim to fame as one of the filming locations for Disney’s hit movie, “High School Musical 2.” Fans of the beloved franchise can walk in the footsteps of Troy, Gabriella, and the Wildcats as they traverse the fairways and relive iconic scenes from the franchise.
