Utah golf course review
Nibley Park is part of Salt Lake City Golf, which owns, operates and maintains 6 public facilities including the 18-hole championship courses Bonneville, Glendale and Rose Park
Country Club, plus nine-hole courses Forest Dale and Nibley Park. Mountain Dell features 2 beautiful 18-hole layouts (the Canyon and the Lake). For more info on Salt Lake City
Golf visit their website www.slcgolf.com
The 6 facilities provide a wide range of golf experiences with varying terrain, slope ratings and challenges that will satisfy a variety of levels of players. All six locations have
clubhouses with pro shops and snack area serving hot and cold food items. The 18-hole facilities have targeted ranges and all six have practice greens for putting and chipping.
The increasingly popular GolfBoards are now at Forest Dale, Nibley Park and Rose Park!
Nibley Park is a relatively short nine-hole course which has 4 sets of tee boxes that play to distances and slopes (if played twice) measuring 5790 yards/113 slope, 5364
yards/108 slope, and 4682 yards/114 slope and 3496 with a slope of 101 for women playing from the forward tees. As the slope ratings indicate, this is a player friendly layout that
can be enjoyed by all levels of golfers. Walking is allowed as the tee areas are situated close to the greens. GolfBoards and carts are available for rent.
On course 150 yard stakes are placed in the middle of fairways on all par fours and fives, and 100, 200 and 250 ( on par fives) markers are also. Color coded flags indicate the
day's front, middle and back hole locations.
The terrain is tree lined and golfers will find level lies on the relatively flat playing surfaces. Sand bunkering is understated with just 7 traps situated greenside. Water, instead of
sand bunkering provides the challenge, as the hazards come into play in some shape or form on 6 holes. Note that there is a driving range and putting green near the clubhouse,
and a totally separate teaching facility with short game area and sand bunker near the back of the property
