HURRICANE - An18-hole championship golf course being developed as part of the Sand Hollow Resort Project is scheduled to open around Labor Day, resort officials say.

The course is one of two planned for Sand Hollow Resort, located between Sand Hollow Reservoir and State Route 9 in Hurricane. A 9-hole walking course is included in plans for the resort.

Both courses were designed by former Brigham Young University golfer John Fought, one of the top golf course architects in the country. The courses are Fought's first in Utah.

The 18-hole course will be 7,319 yards from the back tees, but with multiple tees on each hole, golfers of all abilities will be able to play the course. The Sand Hollow Golf Course is a sister course to Thanksgiving Point in Lehi, Utah.

Sand Hollow's two golf courses will be open for public play throughout the resort's development.
