Black Desert Golf Course
About Black Desert Golf Course
Black Desert Golf Course sits within a resort property in Ivins, Utah, where the course and buildings are set among ancient lava flows and framed by red vermilion cliffs. The championship layout was designed by Tom Weiskopf and threads through the black rock and desert terrain of the surrounding landscape.
The course forms part of a 600-acre resort campus laid out to follow the natural contours of the site. Beyond golf, the resort includes a 15,000-square-foot spa, a five-acre water park with features for both adults and children, and lodging arranged in a series of distinct villages.
