Forest Dale Golf Course

Detailed description of Forest Dale Golf Course

Forest Dale Golf Course, is a Public, 9 hole golf course located in Salt Lake City, Utah.

Forest Dale Golf Course was originally opened for play in 1905 as the Salt Lake Country Club. It is the oldest golf course in Utah.

Forest Dale has undergone several phases of renovation since the city acquired the course in 1935.

Today, it's a challenging course with several small, original table-top greens that place a premium on accuracy. A redesign in 1986-87 maintained the tradition while transforming the course into a more contemporary test of golf.

The nine-hole layout features three par-3's, three par-4's and three par-5's, with a large lake coming into play on the closing three holes. The par-4, 449-yard 9th is reputed to be one of the most challenging finishing holes in Utah.

The Forest Dale Golf Course clubhouse remains a landmark in Salt Lake City and has been placed on the Utah Historical Register. The clubhouse was completely renovated and restored in 1994-95, preserving the mission-style architecture of prominent Utahn Frederick Albert Hale. The renovated clubhouse facility now serves as the home of Salt Lake City's Golf Division offices and includes a large public meeting room with the original Forest Dale fireplace.
