The Scenic Hobble Creek Golf Course in Springville, Utah
Nestled in the picturesque Utah Valley just south of Provo lies the renowned Hobble Creek Golf Course. This stunning 18-hole championship course sprawls across canyon ridges and lush valleys, offering golfers a uniquely breathtaking experience. With elevated tee boxes perched on canyon edges and fairways dotted with mature trees, Hobble Creek provides no shortage of Instagram-worthy moments.
A Course Unlike Any Other
Designed by acclaimed golf course architect Keith Foster, Hobble Creek features unique hole designs rarely found elsewhere. The course routes seamlessly through the natural landscape, taking full advantage of the surrounding mountains, creeks, and ravines. Strategically placed bunkers and water hazards demand accuracy off the tee, while sloping greens and run-off areas test your short game.
The front nine holes at Hobble Creek offer particular intrigue. This side of the course brings you deep into a box canyon, with towering cliffs rising on either side. The par-3 5th hole is arguably one of the most stunning in Utah, playing 167 yards to an island green surrounded by volcanic boulders.
Signature Hole #5
The tee shot on hole #5 requires supreme distance control to find the small, well-guarded green. Any missed shot left or right will carom off the rocky hillsides back towards the canyon floor. The unique island green complex is reminiscent of TPC Sawgrass’s iconic 17th hole. Given the sheer beauty surrounding this par-3, it's no wonder that hole #5 is one of Hobble Creek's signature holes.
