7 Amazing Golf Courses in Utah Valley

As the leaves on the trees start changing color, the last remnants of summer fully begin to fade and start giving way to fall. When the temperature drops, many begin to pack their clubs away and trade a seat in a golf cart for a seat in front of the football game. And who can blame them? Still, if you’re one of those people who constantly have the itch to swing a club in rolling green hills, then make sure to take advantage of this time to knock some strokes off your game. Golf courses are less crowded this time of year and the temperature is perfect for a full, satisfying afternoon on the green. Plus, it’s the perfect getaway from the hustle and bustle of work and family life. Maybe you don’t need convincing.
