Green Spring is owned and run by the City of Washington, a few miles north-east of St George, and that shows in the price. Its published green fees include a cart and stay well below what the newer resort courses charge. Golf Digest listed it among the best new public courses in America when it opened in 1989. The setting is red rock and desert ravines with the Pine Valley Mountains to the north. It is the value round in a St George trip, and good enough to be more than that.
Green Spring Golf Course green fees and tee times.
Online tee times open 14 days ahead through the city’s MemberSports booking page and must be paid when you book. To pay at the course instead, phone the pro shop on 435-673-7888. Single golfers cannot book online unless an existing group has space, so call the shop and they will pair you. Cancellations go through the pro shop by phone; the city ties a full refund to 24 hours’ notice. Each group is limited to two carts, singles share, and spectators and extra riders are not allowed. Every player must bring their own set of clubs.

The round, in perspective.
Gene Bates designed the course, which plays to par 72 and 6,859 yards from the Blue tees, with a rating of 71.9 and a slope of 130. The White tees are 6,417 yards and the Gold 5,857. Desert ravines, sand, lakes and ponds supply the hazards, with views to the Pine Valley Mountains and the Red Cliffs area, and the two holes most golfers remember come one after the other. The 5th is a 173-yard par three that has to carry a deep red-rock canyon to a well-guarded green. The 6th, known as Devil’s Gulch, is a 449-yard par four that asks for a long drive over a gorge and then an approach up to a raised green.

Make the trip work.
The full grass range sells large buckets for US$13, medium for US$8 and small for US$5, so warming up costs little. Note that the sprinklers run three times during the day, so expect damp patches at odd hours. Because the city posts closures on the rates page, check it a week before you travel: in 2026 the course shut on 18 September and from 21 to 25 September for overseeding, then ran cart-path-only until 11 October.
St George Regional (SGU) is about 13 miles away, around 20 minutes by road. From Las Vegas Harry Reid (LAS), allow about two hours north on I-15 to exit 10 at Green Spring Drive; the course is at 588 North Green Spring Drive, Washington.
There is no lodging at the course, but Washington and St George have a long run of chain hotels near the Green Spring Drive exit and along I-15, most within ten minutes. Golfbreaks lists The Ledges of St George, a rental community to the north-west, and Black Desert Resort in Ivins for a more upmarket stay. Sand Hollow Resort’s rental homes, about 20 minutes east, suit groups who want a pool and a kitchen.
Make a trip of it.
Coral Canyon, Keith Foster’s course about ten minutes east in the same city, is the obvious second round. Copper Rock and Sand Hollow are each about 20 minutes further east on State Route 9, and Black Desert is half an hour west. For a rest day, the Red Cliffs Desert Reserve north of Washington has trails through red sandstone, and Snow Canyon State Park is near Ivins.
Find your season.
The rate calendar is a good guide: February to April is the busiest and dearest period, and summer is cheapest because afternoons in the St George basin are very hot. Winter rounds are mild after a cold start. Expect a short overseed closure in the second half of September.
How much are green fees at Green Spring Golf Course?
The City of Washington publishes cart-inclusive rates. Eighteen holes cost US$50 on any day from June to August, US$70 to US$75 from September to January and in May, and US$80 to US$90 from February to April, the peak. Nine holes start at US$30.
How far ahead can I book Green Spring?
Online tee times open 14 days in advance and must be prepaid. If you want to pay at the course, or you are a single golfer, phone the pro shop on 435-673-7888 instead.
Can a non-golfer ride along at Green Spring?
No. The course does not allow spectators or extra riders, and each group is limited to two carts. A partner who wants to see the 5th and 6th holes will need to wait for another visit.
