Give Our Readers An Overview of the Golf Course/Property Welcome to Coral Canyon Golf Course, set amidst the beauty and splendor of southwestern Utah. Designed by golf course architect Keith Foster, Coral Canyon Golf Course provides a rare opportunity for you to enjoy luxurious golf at the doorway to some of the world's most famed natural wonders.
Located in what many call "Color Country" in St. George, Utah, Coral Canyon's 7,200-yard, par-72 layout provides breathtaking views of Bryce Canyon's snow-capped pink spires in the winter and Zion National Park's green springtime bloom.
If Someone Was Looking To Golf In The Area, Why Should They Play Your Course? Coral Canyon features 18 different cut and designed holes by Keith Foster. You will never get bored playing any of our holes with them all having beautiful views of Zions National Park or Pine Valley Mountain in the backdrop.
What Tips or Local Knowledge Would You Provide To Help Them Score Better At Your Course? Best tip for our golf course or any for that fact is to play to your strong point. Coral Canyon Golf Course makes you think about what club selection will make for an easier approach to the green. From your initial tee shot till you reach the green its sometimes best to lay up to keep the ball in play and allow you to make more birdies than bogeys.
What Is The Signature, Most Talked About, or Most Photographed Hole? Our signature hole is #6, a par 3 with distances from 100 yards up to 180 yards depending on tee locations and if we have the pin in one of our tournament pin locations. It has large dessert rocks protecting the back side along with hitting over a canyon off the tee shot with no bail-out opportunity for a miss hit.
What Is Your Favorite Hole? Any Tips to Play It? My favorite holes is #16. During the winter months you get a beautiful view of Pine Valley Mountain covered with snow due to the elevation it sits at. Its a total Risk Reward hole for those that can reach this Par 5 in two with hazard on the left side and 3 large bunkers protecting the front of this elevated green.
Must Have Dish or Drink after the round at the 19th Hole? Nothing beats our locally-famous Cheeseburger with beer battered thick french fries. And you must wash it down with one of six draft beers while discussing that one great shot you had that almost went in for a Hole - In One!
