Nibley Park Golf Course

Nibley Park Golf Course, which opened in May 1922 after the Nibley family donated the land to Salt Lake City, is the oldest public golf course in Utah. Its central location has made it a popular destination for city dwellers and tourists, offering breathtaking views of the Wasatch Mountains to the East and the Oquirrh Mountains to the West.

Although a nine-hole layout, Nibley Park has been called Winged Foot West in reference to its variety of holes and table top greens. Fairways and greens are well-guarded by trees, many of which were planted before the early pioneers arrived in Salt Lake City. A large stream, several small brooks, and a large lake on the ninth hole make the course unusually challenging and enjoyable.

Nibley Park is one of the few courses in America that concludes with consecutive par-3s. The 167-yard ninth is a gem, requiring an accurate tee ball over a large lake to a well-bunkered, undulating green. Expect to see ducks, Canadian geese, and a variety of birds on the lake fronting the ninth green. Nibley Park is home to a full-service pro shop and practice facility staffed by professionals to offer instruction.
