Moriah Country Club

Frequently Asked Questions

When is the best time of year to play Moriah Country Club, and what are the course conditions like then?

We always recommend visiting Moriah in early fall, typically late September through mid-October. The crisp air and vibrant foliage make for an unforgettable round, and the fescue rough is usually a bit more forgiving after the summer heat. You'll find the greens running true and fast, just how we like them.

What's the most memorable hole at Moriah, and what makes it so challenging?

Without a doubt, the par-3 14th hole, "The Precipice," is Moriah's signature. It demands a precise shot over a deep ravine to a tiered green, often battling a swirling crosswind. Don't be surprised if you need an extra club or two to carry it, and definitely take a moment to enjoy the panoramic views from the tee box.

Is Moriah Country Club a walkable course, or should I plan on taking a cart?

While Moriah offers some stunning vistas, it's definitely a challenging walk with significant elevation changes, especially on the back nine. We recommend taking a cart unless you're an avid walker with excellent stamina. You'll conserve energy for your swing and still get plenty of exercise navigating the hilly terrain.

What's the clubhouse experience like at Moriah, and are there any local specialties we should try?

The Moriah clubhouse has a wonderfully rustic, welcoming feel - think classic lodge rather than modern luxury. After your round, you absolutely must try their famous "Moriah Melt" sandwich in the grill room, paired with a local craft beer. It's the perfect way to unwind and soak in the club's friendly atmosphere.

What's the typical cost for a round at Moriah, and is it difficult to get a tee time as a visitor?

Moriah offers excellent value, especially compared to similar courses in the region; expect green fees in the $80-$120 range, depending on the season and day. While it's a popular local spot, you can usually secure a tee time a few weeks out, especially if you're flexible with morning versus afternoon slots. We suggest calling directly rather than relying solely on online booking.
