This was my favorite course that we played on a recent trip to the St George area (Wolf Creek, Sand Hollow, The Ledges, Sky Mountain) the first week in June. Copper Rock had the best conditions of all of the courses in the area with plenty of great views. This course has a handful of pretty good elevation change holes but overall is relatively flat compared to the others listed above. Be aware if you are looking for "country club" like amenities in the pro shop and restaurant you will be disappointed. It's somewhat of an odd layout (for the time being) having to drive several minutes to the driving range and first tee but all of that is well explained by the course staff. The only real oddity we encountered at this course was the greens. Nobody in our group of 8 made a putt on this course. I don't know if it's the density of the greens or the type of grass (were accustomed to playing on bermuda greens) but I don't think there was a putt made that was over 6-8 feet. Maybe it was just us but we found that odd. Don't get me wrong, the greens were in fantastic shape we just couldn't figure them out. Copper Rock also has the best bunkers of any course we played with real, fluffy sand. It was the highest price tag of any course we played but was justified with the conditions. Well worth a visit.
