Midway in Utah was one of the 2002 Winter Olympic venues and it’s also home to a 36-hole facility at Soldier Hollow where Silver course provides a more approachable design for all to enjoy.
Soldier Hollow, part of Wasatch Mountain State Park on the outskirts of Salt Lake City, hosted competition during the 2002 Winter Olympics. Commemorating the park’s role in the games, the two municipal golf courses at the facility were named “Gold” and “Silver.” Both were designed by Gene Bates with the Silver course featuring wider fairways and a less penal demeanor to create an enjoyable experience for any golfer.
While the Silver course might be a more approachable design, the strategy is still out there for the better golfer to go shoot a good score. The terrain is also more subdued than its big brother and has less penal native areas for those wayward teeshots.
Featuring a 6-6-6 layout, the course gives plenty of opportunity for birdies on the par-5’s including the quality finishers on each nine hole loop. Despite the mountainous surroundings, the Silver course is an enjoyable routing to walk as you work down and back up the sloped site. The two nine hole loops are actually nested within each other with the front nine sitting inside the back nine.
The latest ranking of the Top 100 Golf Courses in the World serves as the ultimate global golf bucket list. Most members of our World Top 100 Panel are seasoned golfers, each playing 20-30 of these courses annually while travelling extensively over decades to form their opinions on others. We recognise that opinions vary—even among our panel members. Rankings are subjective, and there are undoubtedly 50 or more courses in the UK and USA alone that could easily fit onto this list.
