4. Stonebridge, West Valley City

"I was excited to design a links style course in the heart of the Salt Lake Valley," Johnny Miller says. From the first hole at the Sunrise nine, a long par four with a green fronted by water, to the last hole, a monster par five with water running the length of the hole, you'll be challenged throughout the Stonebridge course. There is water on 20 of the 27 holes, 93 bunkers and a 200 yard long waste bunker on one hole. From the championship tees, long drives are essential to avoid the water and you'll need accuracy to stay out of the numerous traps.
