Fore Lakes Golf Course

Called to ask what time they were open till at 6:40 pm and the guy told me «quarter to seven» and hung up on me. I get that you can have a bad day or hate your job but don’t be a dick. The course is small and it is fun and perfect for people to learn to love the game. Golf is already an intimidating sport to learn and play. For you beginners out there I would still recommend going and learning the game here and if someone here does treat you poorly don’t take it personally and know that there are plenty of awesome people in the game of golf that will be more than happy to help you learn the game.

Nobody knows the definition of «pace of play» on this course. One of the worst courses I’ve been to. If you want to hit 3 balls off the tee, drink 10 beers, play in a group of 6, and play 9 holes in just under 4 hours then this is the golf course for you. I wanted to ask for a free round of golf but I know even that wouldn’t convince me to come back. Golfers steer clear.

Pro’s: $ 11 to walk, $ 17 to ride. Decent greens and fairways. Has a par 3 course ($ 8.50) as well as a small course.
Con’s: the regular course is very small. One par 5, two par 4’s and the rest are par 3’s. obviously why it’s cheaper so you get what you pay for.
Good course to get in and play quick round. I’d probably play it again.

I stopped in here with that anxiety you have when you haven’t played in a while. I was in SLC to visit my son and his girlfriend and decided to play 9 holes of golf. I haven’t played in 10 years. My son has played a couple of times over each of the past few years and his girlfriend had never played before.
There are two 9 hole courses, an exec that plays around 2200 yards from the blue tees and a 3 par that is around 1300. With our rustiness and «first time ever» in mind, we decided on the 3 par with golf carts. The course is laid out well, one fairway with water that forces you to stay to the left. Lengths are in the range of your shorter irons, greens reasonably flat. Hardly any sand traps (yet I found one). Groups moved well, which is usually a problem on shorter courses.
Was a perfect course for beginners and those that needed to get back in the game with an eye on the exec course next time. BTW. I needed left hand clubs and my son’s girlfriend a set of right handlers. They were supplied by the clubhouse.

Its been years since I’ve played a game of golf or even held a club. In fact last time I was at golf course was during my undergrad years which was last decade, shows hold this old man is. During my brief visit of Utah, I was brought here during a cold day as snow flurries trickled down. Who in their right mind would go out in the cold to play a game of golf… this guy. We were probably their only customers that morning. The prices here are reasonable, we bought a bucket of balls for the range.
One key thing I forgot about myself is that I need left handed clubs. I went inside and asked to rent some clubs. Luckily there was a set available with no charge. We went out to the 9 hole course. The first couple of swings were misses, finally I found my groove. The course itself was intricate, very good layout especially for those that are rusty. Friendly people, none of the aloof crowd found like those members only clubs.

Fore Lakes has two 9-​hole courses. One consists of all par-3’s and the other is an «executive» course (par 31).
Both courses have some pretty challenging holes, especially on the executive side, where water comes into play. There are lots of mature trees and both sides are well-​maintained.
Fore Lakes is a great place to learn and practice. They have a great driving range with lots of targets and yardage markers. There are two practice greens to work on your putting. The pace can be a bit slow sometimes, as there are lots of beginners here.
They don’t take reservations here, so it’s first come = first served. If you’re looking for a quick 9 holes, stop in at Fore Lakes and they can usually get you right out. This is a great walking course, as there are not a lot of elevation changes and both sides are relatively short.
All in all, this is not a bad place to spend a couple hours.

I had SO much fun at Fore Lakes and their staff was so great to us.
My company had a huge golf party here and we basically took over the entire golf course and wreaked all sorts of havoc on it as we attempted to play golf.
Out of probably 100 of us, maybe 5 of us had ever played before so we did a «scramble» and I was part of an unlucky group who were too cheap to pitch in for a cart so we ended up walking a lot. I should have just paid the whole dang thing myself but I didn’t want to cart around a bunch of cheap old men, haha.
I learned a lot of new things. One, if you whack out a big chunk of grass, it is customary to replace said chunk of grass for the next person. Two, if the same golf cart full of impatient experts keeps coming up on your butt and waits on you for a long time at each hole because it takes you like 15 strokes to get the ball in, it is common courtesy to offer to let them «play through» or let them go in front of you.
Happened to me many, many times. But hey, I LOVED it!
Fore Lakes has a snack bar area that is much like what you would find at an old bowling alley inside and they serve up all sorts of fried goodies at cheap price and ice cold cans of beer, too.
Will definitely be back.
