Tee Times begin at 11:00 am (courses may vary depending on availability of tee times) Sunbrook features 27 holes. Golf Digest twice rated Sunbrook as the best golf course in Utah. This rating is a result of a number of elements including scenery, challenge, quality, and service. Sunbrook is the only golf club in southwestern Utah to feature 27 championship holes. Sunbrook features three distinct nines. The Pointe nine meanders through the foothills of the west side of St. George, offering tremendous views of the surrounding landscape. The Wood Bridge nine features two of the most recognizable golf holes in southern Utah. The 4th hole is a par 3 with an elevated tee shot to an island green. The island green is generous in size but still test the nerves of golfers. And if an island green isn't enough, the par-4 5th hole has more in store for you. From the tee the famous wood bridge is visible just beyond the landing area. Black Rock nine has three holes carved from lava fields and puts a premium on accuracy. Black Rock has improved the overall playing experience at Sunbrook resulting in an unmatchable variety of championship golf holes.
