Love at First Sight

It’s easy to fall in love with Red Ledges on first sight. Visit on a bright summer day with the brilliant blue sky outlining the magnificent profiles of the Wasatch Mountains while striping your tee shot down the fairway on one of the best Jack Nicklaus Signature Courses in the nation, and you’ll never want to leave.

But there’s so much more to the Red Ledges story, and all of it will reinforce your first impressions. In addition to the 18-hole Nicklaus Signature Course, the 2,000-acre private residential community in the Utah mountains near Park City features a family and pet-friendly 12-hole, par-3 Jack Nicklaus Golf Park; a Jim McLean Golf School; a Cliff Drysdale Tennis School; an award-winning Wellness Center; a swim and fitness club; Kid’s Club; a terrific Equestrian Center; Juniper Grill restaurant; and a multi-generational resort-style pool with a water playground, 144-foot waterslide, poolside bar and grill, and well-appointed locker rooms. 

If all that is not enough to entice your imagination of a life well-lived, an experienced and creative staff oversees all aspects of the community, from dining room to activities to horsemanship. “The people who interact with our members are among the best in their respective fields,” said Red Ledges’ General Manager John Johnson. “Our member surveys bear that out. If there’s a special need or request, whether at the Juniper Grill or in the Wellness Center, our talented team will make it happen.”

Singled Out for Excellence

The Wellness Center recently won special acclaim when it was named “2024 Amenity of the Year” by Golf Inc. magazine. Designed by Z Design Group, with interior design by Clay Pryor Interiors, the goal of the Wellness Center was to create a delightful and memorable experience for current and future users. 

Z Design Group took full advantage of the spectacular views by installing large windows and elevated patios. A warm color pallet blends with stone and oxidized metal to evoke the feeling of the red rocks so prevalent in the area. The new Wellness Center has a dedicated cardio and strength space and a movement studio for a variety of classes and boot camps.

“We could not be prouder of the architecture, design, and function of this amazing new amenity that was created by our team of inspired partners,” Johnson said. “Red Ledges has worked hard over many years to become a place our members enjoy every day, and this new facility will undoubtedly add years of health and enjoyment to their lives.”

Six new tennis courts and six new pickleball courts prompted the community to be one of fewer than 20 private clubs in the U.S. to be recognized as a “USTA Outstanding Facility.”

Another accolade was proffered Red Ledges’ clubhouse expansion this year, citing its new casual family dining area, bistro/bar, and intimate, upscale dining room.

And Red Ledges Golf Course’s 15th consecutive “Best in State” win showcases not only an unwavering excellence but also a significant contribution to enriching Utah’s quality of life, setting a remarkable standard for the state and the community.

Red Ledges Golf

Four seasons of fun

Established in October 2007 by community founders Tony Burns and Nolan Archibald, there are few communities that equal the Red Ledges experience. Overall, Red Ledges offers 1,200 estate home sites and thoughtfully designed homes with dramatic views of the unique red rock formations and surrounding Rocky Mountain peaks. 

Red Ledges is a four-season destination. While golf, tennis, pickleball, horseback riding, hiking, and leisure activities occupy the summer months, the community’s proximity to Deer Valley Resort — where two private ski lounges are reserved for Red Ledges members —and Park City provide plenty of winter sports opportunities too. Members sign up to be part of an active ski club that tackles the nearby slopes in groups brought together by common skill levels, or head out on cross country skiing or snowshoeing adventures with neighbors and friends.

Curated group wellness and recreation programs include yoga and fitness classes, weekly bike rides, cooking classes, and more. 

“There are so many great ways to discover new pastimes and meet members,” said Club Activities Director Stephanie Potempa, known by members as the “director of fun.” “Our club activities and strong sense of community are part of what makes Red Ledges unique.” 

With its pristine mountain location, growing list of award-winning amenities, and truly talented and caring staff, there are few primary or second home communities anywhere that stack up to Red Ledges. ▪
