Designed by Rees Jones, the 18 holes at Victory Ranch meander over 7,600 yards of High Country, with bentgrass tees, greens, and fairways, bluegrass rough and tall fescue grass lining its boundaries. Rated among the best in the state by Golf Digest, this course challenges your game, while the dramatic views of the Jordanelle Reservoir and the Uinta and Wasatch Mountains test your focus.
The natural 400-foot elevation change on Victory Ranch's golf course allows it to transition from gently rolling fairways to commanding views of the surrounding area. Of all the vistas on the course, the outlook from the championship tee box on the 17th hole is the real jewel. From here, a 360-degree panoramic view takes your breath away, leaving no doubt that you are in a very special place.
