Dramatic combination of rugged natural landscape and picturesque mountain vistas
Palo Alto, CA (January 9, 2024) – Robert Trent Jones II Golf Course Architects (RTJII) is creating its first 18-hole layout and practice facility in Utah for the new luxury residential-resort community of Three Bridges. Set on 530 rolling acres of former cattle-grazing land, the property is in Salem, about 15 miles south of Provo along the western edge of the Wasatch Mountain range.
The course will start with five holes routed through pastureland, with the next 13 holes meandering through a dramatically varying landscape that includes foothills, ravines, and forests.
Robert Trent Jones Jr., Chairman and Master Architect of RTJII, said, “I’m thrilled our firm is gearing up to construct our first course in Utah. The land is special and will offer golfers great views and great shots.”
According to Trent Jones, COO of RTJII, ownership’s direction was to emphasize “fun” by creating an enjoyable experience for all levels of golfers. “Knowing this community is geared to families, we created great flexibility in the positioning of teeing areas and welcoming fairway corridors for the beginning golfer, while creating exciting challenges for the seasoned player” says Jones. “We will add to the fun by preserving the natural landscape and emphasizing the views of the Wasatch range and amazingly varied topography.”
