Copper Rock is a young course on open ground south of Hurricane, built on former farmland with the Hurricane Cliffs running along the eastern skyline. It has hosted the LPGA’s Epson Tour through the Copper Rock Championship and says it has been voted Best of Southern Utah six years running since 2021. It is around 25 minutes from St George and on the way to Zion, which suits a trip that mixes golf with the national park. Homes and vacation rentals are being built around it.

Book online through the Book Tee Times page on the course website or phone 435-215-4845. Copper Rock does not publish a visitor rate table or a booking window, so the price for each time shows on the tee sheet. What it does publish is its season split for events: peak runs from 1 March to 31 May and 1 September to 15 November, off-peak from June to August and 16 November to the end of February. Tournament pricing per player, which includes green fee, cart and range balls, is US$235 in peak and US$95 off-peak, a useful guide to how far rates swing. Shotgun starts need 44 players.
The round, in perspective.
Golfbreaks credits the design to a team led by Gordon Zitting. The current card gives par 72 and five sets of tees, each with a handicap recommendation: Copper at 7,283 yards (rating 75.8, slope 146) for 0 to 3 handicaps, Black at 6,685 for 4 to 8, Gold at 6,185 for 9 to 15, and Silver and White for 16 and above. Take that advice seriously; a 146 slope is steep. Every hole has a name. The 5th, Sidewinder, is a 607-yard par five. The 13th, Down and Dirty, is a par four of 510 yards from the Copper tees and the hardest hole on the card. The closing stretch includes two short par threes, the 149-yard 15th and the 135-yard 17th, SkyDive, where a local rule offers a drop area for a lost ball, with a one-stroke penalty.

The practice area has a range and short-game greens, and the shop runs lessons. Larger groups can book catering from US$20 a head.
