Bonneville Golf Course

Formidable course. Books quickly, 7 days out. Great putting greens. Iron only driving range. Blind shot on 5 to an ungulating green. Careful or you roll in the gunch. 8 and 10 have double greens. Beautiful vista of the Salt Lake Valley. Carts have yardage markers. You may hear the lions roar on 11 as you are on the other side of the street of the zoo. Use the restroom at the end of 10 because you won't have another chance until you tee off of 18. Would have given a 4.5 if available, pace of play is usually slow.

Bonneville's East Bench spot is unbeatable for city golf—mountain views from every hole make the drive up worth it. Fairways are wide and forgiving, greens roll true without too much speed. It's walkable if you're up for it, and the elevation adds a little challenge. Pro shop has basics like gloves, staff's quick and friendly. Grill does simple sandwiches that hit after nine. $40-50 rates keep it affordable for munis. Pace is steady, even busier days. Played with my dad and we both enjoyed the no-pressure vibe—great for all levels. My SLC staple.

This was probably one of the most challenging courses I've played this year. Most of the layouts are nice, but those greens are no joke. Most of them are tiered with crazy breaks and slopes. Had a few come back right to where I started from. Some good wide open and interesting holes. It kicked my butt but I'm looking towards the next time I play. There were 2 par 3s that were an awesome layout. 18 was a great hole to finish on.

This was a beautiful course coming from Idaho I enjoyed the mountain side play, well maintained. 7:30 am tee time still dark when arriving but they had greens keepers out raking and brooming the dew off the greens. Cafe opening late was my only issue

I love this golf course on any day but today. I went into the pro shop and was checking in for my tee time. The employee told me I didn’t have a tee time but there was one available at the same time. He then tried to charge me double the price. I said no thank you and was leaving the pro shop. He yelled at me as I was walking out saying “good we don’t want your business anyways.” I found this very rude and unprofessional as it’s a city run golf course. Very unhappy with my experience today and hope that the management can correct these problems.

Great golf course. Lots of fun and challenging holes. For the most part, errant shots can be found. One of the better courses in SLC. Great view of the Mtns!

Was told the course was running behind. Did not get called up when it was our tee time. Had to go into to the pro shop and ask if we should tee off and the cashier was terribly rude and said he can’t do everything by himself. We played at quicker than average pace and were constantly harassed by the Marshall and met with swearing and rude behavior. Rude staff. Terribly run course. Will not be returning. Course costs more than other public courses. Save the money and go literally anywhere else.

Great greens! Very placed holes where they are challenging to place a shot

Great staff, plenty of carts and very well maintained course; tough speedy greens for any serious golfers out there!

For a municipal course in the SLC area, Bonneville is as good as it gets. This course is 18 holes of straight-up parkland golf: not a lot of tricks for playing holes, not many doglegs, just lots of trees that will punish you for missing the fairway off the tee. The greens are the hardest part of this track, as there are quite a few tiers, and the speed seems to vary from green to green. Overall, the course is in alright shape--not atrocious, but not top quality either. Bonneville has two putting greens, a driving range, and practice area back behind hole #2. Give this place a shot if you want a fun, low-pressure round at a classic Salt Lake course.

Discriminatory towards nursing mothers. just a heads up of youre a mother and wanting to golf here they won't let you bring your baby. They wouldnt let us play with a two month baby in a car seat because of "city rules" and then claimed it's on the site. I don't remember seeing that and have brought babies golfing in the past to other courses so I didn't think it was an issue. checked their site and it isn't written out anywhere that I could see, at least easily?? still don't know where it says that. so heads up for families. this isn't a family friendly place and if you're a mom of a newborn who has waited months to golf again and were excited to go on your birthday just know you'll be disappointed at this course.

Visited from Phoenix and this is the best municipal course I've ever played. The views are stunning and it's great value for the price. Course conditions were all excellent. Didn't notice any problems with the fairways or greens. As others mentioned, there's some tough holes. Most greens are challenging with shelves and slopes. Lots of blind shots and a few gullies to get over. This is not your basic muni course. I've paid at least double for this level of design and conditions. A few downsides. You don't pass the clubhouse at the turn, so they have a food stand at #10. But there's no grill, so you can only get snacks or drinks. Our round was 5 hours and I wished for the classic hot dog or something. The holes are scattered a bit weird and I got confused a few times. They have signs and distances at each hole but the cart paths can be funky. It also gets tight by the clubhouse if you're using the range and getting ready. Not a big issue though. Overall a beautiful course for a great price. If I lived here, this would definitely be a staple course for me.

Like everyone else...the course itself is great! Challenging but also getable from most tee boxes. No issues on the course really at all besides there are ZERO signs/info at the tee boxes so we got confused a few times. Besides that, the amenities are ROUGH. People are super nice but besides the new "townhouse" units being built, the PRO SHOP is basically a single wide trailer, clothes just kind of all over, not very organized, basically zero cold weather resources (we went in mid Feb) & "CLUBHOUSE" is almost cool vintage vibes, old awards etc on walls, old patterned carpet & food though MASSIVE portions is bottom barrel quality, lastly the "CONDOS" are fine for a guys trip where it's hard to break anything of value...if you're wanting to play all day & then just drink/hang out - it's pretty great but arriving at night...no lights outside, no signage, door numbers are inside the complex so you don't know what you're doing lol and felt a bit sketchy aka didn't leave anything in our vehicles. CRAZY things is...add a little TLC to those 3 areas, get a decent website & social media...this place could be a top place to go on golf trips with buddies for sure. I hope they get there because I REALLY want to see this place back to it's glory & living in Dallas it's a perfect distance! 4 stars because I think they are working to get back there & the reason you go is the course & it's a GREAT track & still very well kept.

This golf course is a hidden treasure. Reasonable rates as well. You can choose to ride in a cart or walk. Bathrooms are super clean and located throughout the course. The staff is great! Such a beautiful course.

I came from California to visit my family in Utah. My sister in law's niece and my nephew invited me to play. The course is great. I am a higher handicapper and my nephew is a scratch golfer. The course was a little difficult for me but had beautiful views of the area. We got out early in the morning and had great pace of play. I would highly recommend it to experienced golfers.

Pretty nice Course fairways are nice greens are not very fair. The pin placements are on hills and there are no flat lies on the green. Expect a lot of three putts. Add 10 strokes to your normal score.

What a deceiving course. Looking at the clubhouse you think it's going to be a horrible course and turns out to be a fun time and the pace of play was great. Staff was accommodating.

What an amazing golf course. The views and scenery are absolutely jaw dropping. It's just such a shame that the employees can ruin something that has so much going for it. We had a huge golf tournament here; one in which decent money was spent. The majority of us played at a pretty upbeat speed, but that didn't keep the course Marshall from coming at yelling at us three different times. At one point, yes, there was someone at the box waiting for us to get off the fairway. But perhaps they shouldn't schedule people so close to the time we departed for a 30+ people tournament? The last two times, after the Marshall left, I checked back to see if people were waiting on us. There wasn't even anyone in sight! Good riddance you guys. I understand that if you feel the need, you can definitely say something to move people along, but there definitely is a fine line between being polite to paying customers, and being flat out rude. My suggestion? Find a different place to golf. There are plenty better places.

Beautiful yes, but way too packed. Not to mention, packed with guys that don't know ettiquette. Or maybe it's just when they are playing behind 4 women. Don't play up our butts please. If you can imagine, we are quite good. When dudes happen to see 4 ladies (you know who you are), I can almost hear the collective sigh. Particularly hole #4 I believe, when we were almost hit by a ball. Unacceptable in large part due to the fact that they had a man watching us on the green while his counterpart proceeded to almost knock one of us out. It was needlessly close. (K, that's my feminist rant for the day) In any case, we will golf here again because we just do. We like it enough, but there are many other beautiful courses in our area. And guys, don't get your panties in a twist when you see women in front of you. We might surprise you.

Great course! Tucked away from roads, good conditions, friendly staff, and challenging greens.

What a let down after reading the reviews. We decided to play some afternoon golf so picked this course for its proximity to downtown. We were from Miami so we had to rent clubs. $35 dollars for garage sale trash. Teed off at 5:15, course sprinklers came on at 7:30. No one in the pro shop. Sprinklers around the greens were especially wonderful, soaked carts, soaked golfers. Attendant taking the carts said he didn't care"that's all above my pay grade". Not sure I have had a worse round of golf!

Nice course, but played so slow, clearly the management is not staying on top of the players. Hope i don't go again.

Fun golf course for a great price with great hours. During the spring it's a nice place to get some exercise and talk over business or old times. 18 hole course. $18.50 for 9 holes or 35.00 for 18 holes.

This a very fun course in the foothills of SLC. Some of the holes present decent challenges, and the location could not be more convenient for SLC visitors or residents.

Great golf course! Probably best of the Salt Lake City courses. This course is still manually watered. This allows the grounds crew to tailor the watering to specific needs. The golf pro, Steve, is a great guy. The little cafe is not bad and quick too.

Goofy greens, terribly crowded. Only good thing about it is the location in downtown

Truely a shame they weren't forthcoming when booking a tee time that their greens were newly punched and sanded as well they have irrigation construction going on. We paid an overpriced $51 green fees for horrible greens. The reason it is truly a shame is because the course its self is not bad and if the greens were in reasonable shape it would of been a joy, but do to their lack of consideration they will never see our business again.

I have been able to play Bonneville a few times and i always enjoy it. It really is more like a 3.5 rating. Bonneville is a good looking course. I have always experienced a good crowd there and good etiquette. i would recommend playing here if you don't mind paying a few extra bucks! There is a three or four dollar price increase compared to similar courses. Some of the fairways are pretty narrow but it isn't really a problem. It is an easy course to walk which is nice.

Bonneville has been the course I've played for the last 10 years and it has ceased to amaze me. The diversity you get on the course is fantastic and generally nice people, the staff is excellent and has always helped out. My highschool team has there home course there and I love to play there. The course is always in good conditions, and good luck on the greens!

TERRIBLE! Golfed this course with a 9 am tee time. Ran into nothing but running sprinklers on the first couple holes, but the WORST, by far was the marshal. The marshal was a COMPLETE PRICK!!! I've NEVER met staff at a golf course that was so rude and disrespectful.

One of my favorite tracks but its not the course it's the darn people who work there. They will NEVER tell you if the greens are punched or sanded until you show up. I have even asked and they have lied and when we arrive, they play the dumb game. They also put groups out too close to the others which causes major congestion. 18 should have a reverse mirror since I have personally witnessed in both tournament play and just buddies playing where someone was struck by ball. My friend who is the gm at the Piute golf club in Vegas was actually charged by Bonneville and Bonneville alone over any course in the valley including the country club, Jeramey ranch and others in park city. he even called to let them know he was coming - it was the most outrageous thing I have ever witnessed. I'm giving it a one star since this is where I learned the game of golf and its a decent track but the people, gm, golf pro and others, terrible communicators and love you prior but if you come with a complain etc, good luck.
