Golf at Entrada at Snow Canyon Country Club
2537 ENTRADA TRAIL, ST. GEORGE, UT 84770, USA
Entrada's golf course is recognized, even revered, as one of the best layouts in the state, if not the southwest. A unique and distinctive design weaves through ancient black lava rock, desert arroyos, and highlighted over 7,000 yards by emerald-bright tees, fairways, and greens. This is also a year-round experience... a surprising distinction in Utah... a play-everyday course that enjoys over 300 days of sunshine, supported by stand-out practice facilities, our own Golf Academy, and a deep bench of experienced, engaging golf pros, instructors, and staff.

The Bowl AKA The Vortex Hike

The Vortex hike is a unique hike, and if there’s one hike you do near St George, we recommend this one. Not only is the Vortex itself dope, but the entire hike is interesting.
It is a moderate hike that is roughly 2.16 miles roundtrip and should take roughly 1-1.5 hours (not including the time you want to hang out there).
Hiking Tip: We highly recommend getting an offline map for the trail since some cairns were hard to find.
