Architect John Fought has taken southwest Utah by storm with this superb layout in Hurricane, just 15 minutes from St. George. The former All-American at BYU carved out a massive layout with gigantic greens, and the result is a playable, natural-looking high-desert design 25 minutes from Zion National Park.
Ridgelines, canyons and red-rock cliffs highlight the round. The front nine is fairly sedate, but the back is a home run, with a four-hole stretch (Nos. 12 to 15) that's among the most memorable in the West. Steep outcroppings and red-sand bunkers punctuate each hole, making it abundantly clear why the region is known as "Color Country."
