Ivins,
UT – May 2023 / Newsmaker Alert:
Black
Desert Resort Golf Course in Ivins, Utah near St. George, will officially
open 18 holes to daily-fee play on May 27, 2023. The last design
of Tom Weiskopf’s incredible course architecture career, Black Desert’s
emerald fairways are carved amid ancient black lava fields and are surrounded
by Southern Utah’s red rock mountains. Tee times can be made at
www.BlackDesertResort.com.
In
November 2022, Black Desert Resort opened nine holes to limited preview
play, allowing the remaining nine holes to grow-in and mature. An additional
19th hole, an 85-yard par 3 set lakeside and terraced into the black lava,
will open later this year. Weiskopf and his design partner, architect Phil
Smith, designed the par-72 course with playability in mind, with most fairways
70 to 100 yards wide. The course features two drivable par 4s – the 5th
hole and 14th hole – a Weiskopf hallmark, bringing both strategy and risk/reward
elements into play. The property’s distinct black lava rock, called basalt,
originated as lava that intermittently flowed from ancient volcanoes.

As
a Troon® Golf-managed facility,
the golf experience and service at Black Desert Resort will be on par with
the awe-inspiring natural surroundings and incredible Weiskopf design.
Amenities include a creative snack bar specializing in unconventional finger
foods that cure mid-round cravings, a text service for on-course, on-demand
food and drink delivery, as well as high-tech carts with GPS and well-stocked
coolers.
Prior
to Weiskopf passing in August of 2022 from pancreatic cancer, he narrated
a hole-by-hole flyover tour of the course in which he shares the vision
behind the design. The tour is available on the Black Desert Resort website
and on the club’s YouTube channel.
