“Gorgeous Course, Great Staff, and One Man on a Mission to always be sneaking up on you mid swing”
Park City Golf Course is a gem. Seriously — the mountain views are the kind of thing you'd expect to see on a luxury whiskey label. The fairways and greens? Pristine, like someone’s out there trimming them with nail scissors. And the Pro Shop crew? Absolute legends. Friendly, helpful, and somehow immune to the usual Park City snobbery that wafts through town like overpriced cologne.
Yes, the green fees are steep. But so is everything in Park City — the prices, the altitude, the number of Teslas per square foot. You accept it. You’re here for the experience.
And then... there’s the marshal. Or "player assistant"
Oh, Mr player assistant. If you’ve ever wondered what it would be like to be micromanaged by a man in khaki shorts,fedora hat,and a golf cart, you’re in for a treat. He’s less a course official and more a sentient stopwatch. You could be walking briskly, swinging smoothly, and playing faster than the group ahead — doesn’t matter. He will find you. He will scold or scowl at you. And he will ruin your vibe faster than a shanked tee shot at altitude.
The guy monitors pace-of-play like he’s auditioning for a Netflix docuseries: “Pace Police: Paranoia on the Fairways.” He hovers. He circles. He checks his imaginary clipboard with the intensity of someone managing air traffic, not a municipal golf course.
It’s honestly impressive — in the way that raccoons solving trash can puzzles are impressive. But after your third unsolicited drive-by lecture, you start to wonder: is this a round of golf or a low-key psychological experiment?
Bottom line: The course is five stars. The staff is top-notch. But unless the marshal gets promoted to a less interactive role — say, bunker maintenance on the moon — even solid players will think twice about coming back...but only for a minute. Because you know... We love...
Read morePoor attitude by employees in golf shop here. Called a month ago to book a tee time and was told to call back a week before for tee times, so I called and requested a tee time for just myself. Was rudely told that no course in Utah books tee times for singles except for day of play. Well that is a load of rubbish because I just called two other courses and booked a tee time over the phone for myself for next week! I'm staying here but won't play here and give them my green fee, I'm going elsewhere. Oh and if management somehow reads this, the other courses I called that take tee time reservations ahead of time for singles are Talonscove in Saratoga Springs UT, and Thanksgiving Point in Lehi. You may also want to update a thing called a website and let your potential patrons know that they cannot book a tee time ahead of time for singles, or get with the rest of the golf world and allow this. Or maybe your staff I spoke to was just a nasty person that didn't want...
Read moreBad Experience. Website gave an email for questions and since I had a big group sent an email 45 days ago and another follow up email about 2 weeks ago. Called today (august 5) to book 3 tee times on September 26th and was told they could not book that large of a group. When I brought up that I had emailed Vaughn twice I was told "he is very busy and gets 300 emails per day". Why did they tell me to email him in the first place? Looks like a lovely place bad attitude on the phone and inability to fulfill 3 tee times 2 months in advance and not return emails is a bad way to run a business...
