ABOUT THE CLUB
ABOUT THE CLUB
Kamas, UT | Designed by Rees Jones, the 18 holes at Victory Ranch meander over 7,600 yards of High Country, with bent grass greens and fairways, bluegrass rough and tall fescue grass lining its boundaries. Rated among the best in the state by Golf Digest, this course challenges your game, while the dramatic views of the Jordanelle Reservoir and the Uinta and Wasatch Mountains test your focus.
The natural 400-foot elevation change on Victory Ranch’s golf course allows it to transition from gently rolling fairways to commanding views of the surrounding area. Of all the vistas on the course, the outlook from the championship tee box on the 17th hole is the real jewel. From here, a 360-degree panoramic view takes your breath away, leaving no doubt that you are in a very special place.
The club enjoyed a course renovation in 2020 and is in the process of building a new golf clubhouse. More recently the club is undergoing construction on a new state of the art golf shop with simulators and cart storage to be opened in the fall of 2023.
"I consider its course to be one of the more spectacular in the West. Its rugged topography created an opportunity for me to design a golf course that is dramatic in every respect. Whether you look up or down, the scenery is stunning. From the picturesque views of Deer Valley to the calming waters of the Jordanelle Reservoir in the valley below, you know you are in a special place."
