Wasatch Mountain State Park is Utah’s largest state park at 22,000 acres in the Heber Valley, Wasatch County, central Utah, managed by Utah Division of State Parks. The park features four championship 18-hole golf courses — the Wasatch Mountain courses (Mountain and Lake) and the Soldier Hollow courses (Gold and Silver) which served as the 2002 Winter Olympics cross-country skiing and biathlon venue, year-round campground with full hookups and rental cabins, horseback riding on mountain trails through oak and aspen forest, cross-country skiing and snowshoeing at Soldier Hollow in winter — with groomed trails on the Olympic course, hiking and mountain biking through alpine meadows and aspen groves, spectacular views of the Wasatch Range and the Heber Valley, and a four-season mountain recreation destination just 30 minutes from Park City.
The Olympic legacy is a unique draw — Soldier Hollow hosted the 2002 Winter Olympics cross-country skiing and biathlon events, and visitors can ski the same trails where Olympic athletes competed. In summer, the Olympic venue transforms into a championship golf course.
The golf is exceptional — four 18-hole courses at elevation surrounded by mountain scenery makes this one of the best public golf destinations in the American West. The thin mountain air adds noticeable distance to every shot.
