Mountain Dell Golf Course
The Mountain Dell Course situated 16 miles east of downtown Salt Lake City and at an altitude of 6,000 feet above sea level, offers 36 holes of breathtaking views and frequent glimpses of wildlife such as moose, deer, elk, eagles, hawks, badgers, squirrels, and an occasional cougar. The higher elevation provides ideal summer golfing conditions. The Canyon Course stretches up the eastern mountain from the clubhouse approximately four miles before looping back. The Lake Course features narrow, rolling fairways and dramatic tee shots over deep ravines and water.
Winter Activities
Mountain Dell Golf Course is many of Utah families’ traditional Snow Tubing, Sledding, and Cross Country Skiing areas. It is usually jam-packed, but free (though parking is always difficult). It has a few really long runs, too; fun to go down, long to hike back up.
