Bountiful Ridge Golf Course — Local services in Bountiful

I was invited to play in a foursome today by a local credit union. myself and 2 others are business clients of this credit union....

I want to start off by saying the course was in excellent shape and we all really enjoyed the course on the first 9 of 18 holes...

On hole 10 it all changed... We let a twosome play through, we teed off 2nd. right as teed off a threesome of older woman came rolling up behind us. In the middle of the fairway the golf marshall(Sam) came rolling up on us demanding we exit the fairway right away and let this threesome play on through. We asked can you please just let them play through on next tee box. His answer was "No Way!" We then made us stand off to the side and wait for this group that was NOT fast play through, from tee box to green on this par 4.

The woman group even apologized to us saying, they did not ask him to let them play through and they thought that his behavior was bizarre...

This type of move on over in the fairway "etiquette" he imposed on us I never had to do in 25 years of golf. But we still shut our mouth and let it happen.

Two holes later though, this same marshall was waiting for us next to the tee box with a big smirk on his face. It started off with us stating we have never had to do anything like that before and how we had let a twosome just play through...But he would not have any of that from us. He then preceded to show very hostile verbal, aggression and complete disrespect towards. We are all business professionals on a golf course and this marshal went out of his way to impose his will and perceived dominance on us. He was a complete bully! We told him that we used to enjoy playing the course and his answer was he "used to like the people who play there too". It got to the point where the marshall walked up into the face of one of the guys in our group and put his finger in his chest.

After it was all said and done. We walked back to hit our tee shots and he just had to have the last remark... "Look at you guys playing from the blue tees when you can't even hit the ball".

We were a non drinking group and we are all well played golf fans(like most people are) on a business outing. This should not have happened to us.....

P.S. it is not east to hit a golf ball when your blood...

Getting right to it, this might be the best $30 (I walked on a Monday) course you will ever play in your life. There are a lot of deals out there, but this is truly a hidden gem situated on the mountain side of Bountiful SLC. If you are in town for work or pleasure PLAY THIS COURSE! The greens were spectacular and rolled true and medium fast, the fairways were healthy, lush, and "strong," and the bunkers were amazingly maintained. I wish this course was in my local Pittsburgh for it would be in my regular 3 course rotation.

More details.. This course was recommended to me by many of my fellow local serving military members and by a local county club's head pro. I had time for only one more round (my other was the Canyon Course at Mountain Dell) for my stay in SLC and after seeing a recommendation by a golf related account I follow on Instagram (@beautifulgolfcourses) I knew where I was going yesterday.

The layout is situated on a mountain side yet was forgiving on more holes than you would expect. Generous fairway width would make this course playable for all ages and skill levels. I choose to walk and did so with little strain and was happy I did, the abundance of different species of trees tickled the visual senses and was highlighted by the constant back drop of both the mountains and city located at the base of the mountain. I was in no hurry to rush this beauty as a single riding a cart might do. The course superintendent needs many pats on the back, he/she has this track in remarkable shape! I hope I have to come back out here in the near future, Bountiful Ridge will be my first...

Cannot express enough how please we were with our experience here! Every single person we encountered working for the course was friendly, kind, and made our trip. We were late flying in from DFW and therefore late for our round by about half an hour. Had a friend call the course for us while we were in flight to see if they’d still let us play as I know they were packed all day. Mike in the clubhouse could not have been nicer and more accommodating. He let us store our luggage in his office, had our rentals ready for us, and led us to the hole our other pair were already on so we only missed first three holes. This for us was a big win! The course was STUNNING and definitely in my top ten courses played. The views are amazing. The grounds well taken care of. Easy fairways to manage as not a ton of out of bounds which is nice. The greens definitely move more than I’m used to being from TX! The Marshall was so fun and on top of the pace of play which was nice. I love when a Marshall loves his job, makes it fun, and keeps us moving along fairly. Then after the awesome round the clubhouse girl was so friendly and happy we could make it even with the delays and excited we had a great time. Cherry on top was the cafe who had the best homemade banana bread along with a killer grilled cheese! Raving reviews all the way around! Highly recommended! Thank you for starting our first trip to Utah out...
