What do people think of Bountiful Ridge in Utah?
« on: December 19, 2011, 10:56:52 AM »
It's a William Bell course in Salt Lake City.  I've seen pix and it looks narrow, but it also is a nice price for a public venue.  Anyone played it? Any thoughts?

Jay,

I did a review on it a few years back:

http://www.golfclubatlas.com/forum/index.php/topic,40797.0.html

Here's what I wrote in my summary paragraph, but more comments can be found in my review:

"Overall while it’s a neat experience and one of the better publics in Northern Utah, I can think of several other munis in the area that I would easily rank ahead of this one. While it has a few interesting holes, many are forgettable and they went absolutely nuts with the cart path placements as you will see in the pictures. At best it’s a 3.5 on the Doak scale and only worth a play if you live in the area."

As for narrowness, while it does have a few skinny holes, overall its not too bad.  The price, just like most courses in Utah is where the real value is found.  I've played all over the west and yet to see anywhere that matches Utah for Relative quality of course + Very inexpensive green fees.

I believe William Neff, an associate of William Bell, jr, designed the course, not Bell.
