Walking golf at 6,500 feet in the Utah high desert changes everything
Walking golf at 6,500 feet in the Utah high desert changes everything. The air is thinner. The ball travels farther. Your lungs work harder on the climbs. Wasatch Mountain's Lake Course rolls through terrain that earns its name, with water features threading through the layout and the Wasatch Range filling the backdrop. At 6,800 yards from the tips, the altitude compensates for the length. Most shots play shorter than the card suggests. The $30-$45 green fee is honest pricing for a state park course that delivers solid mountain golf without pretense. Rolling terrain means some elevation changes, but nothing that punishes a walking round. Bring layers. Weather shifts fast up here.
