Entrada at Snow Canyon Country Club, St. George, Utah - a Johnny Miller Signature Golf Course in the Heart of Southern Utah's Red Rock Country

The Entrada at Snow Canyon Country Club features an 18-hole Johnny Miller Signature Golf Course, which plays through the heart of Southern Utah's red rock country. Entrada is Spanish for "entrance,'' and the course sits at the foot of the rugged Navajo and Kayenta sandstone cliffs near the mouth of Snow Canyon, where the landscape has been characterized as both "chaotic'' and "artful.''

The 18-hole, par-71 course plays to 7,059 yards from the longest tees, with a USGA rating of 73.6 and a slope rating of 131 on Rye grass. Like many of the desert courses found in Southern Utah, the course is set amid the jagged black lava, red sandstone cliffs, rolling dunes, and rugged arroyos of the Utah desert. But the Entrada course makes use of the land's unique features and contours to set itself apart, with elevation changes in the fairways, a surprising amount of water and well-guarded and undulating greens.

As Golf Digest put it, Entrada is a "bluff-surrounded wonder,'' and added that "the design is as good as it is unique and the quality of the holes is mitigated only by the mind-blowing scenery.''

Some of the most noteworthy holes on the course include No. 2, which has been aptly named "Double Trouble.'' A part-4, this hole plays to 410 yards from the tips and doglegs right around one water hazard, only to have another appear and run along the left side of a long, narrow green, the back half of which also slopes toward the water.

Miller saved some of the most difficult holes on the course for the final three holes, including No. 17 which plays as the #1-handicap hole. This par-4 is named "Devil's Hideaway'' and is the last of the "Devil's Triangle,'' also known as the "lava holes.'' The hole plays to 427 yards from the longest tees and features a dogleg left, and the first challenge is hitting a long, straight drive to find the landing area. From there, approach shots typically play into the prevailing wind to a green guarded by lava rocks and bunkers on either side.

Since its opening in 1996, the Entrada course has been ranked as a top destination in the St. George, Utah area for 12 years running. In addition, Golf Digest ranked it among the Top 10 New Upscale Courses in 1997 and rated it the #1 Best Course in the state.

Practice facilities at Entrada include a large driving range, as well as practice greens complete with bunkers. The resort also features a 22,000-square-foot clubhouse, which is home to a golf shop, locker rooms, lounge, ballroom, and the Kokopelli Restaurant.

Guests of the resort also have access to the Sports & Fitness Center, which features tennis courts, sand volleyball, outdoor basketball, indoor and outdoor swimming pools, and the latest fitness equipment.
