Logan, Utah
Logan Country Club offers a classic parkland test reborn by Gene Bates' 2024 overhaul. The course rewards well-placed tee shots and calculated aggression, set against scenic Cache Valley views and a distinct mountain-flanked vibe.
After your round, walk to the highest point behind the 9th and 18th greens for panoramic views of Cache Valley—locals swear it's the best post-round photo spot.
Logan Country Club’s 2024 redesign by Gene Bates has reanimated this classic mountain-valley club with sharper angles, new bunkering, and strategic flow. The routing now weaves between open vistas and tighter tree-lined corridors, emphasizing risk-reward decisions and thoughtful shot placement over sheer power. By reversing the nines, expanding to 67 bunkers, and opening up the landscape, the course strikes a satisfying harmony between approachable fun for everyday members and fresh tests for serious players.
Gene Bates guided Logan CC’s transformation in 2024, blending canyon-side features and full bunker/tee rebuilds to reimagine a legacy Utah club for a new generation.
Stretching to 565 yards from the back tees, the 3rd is a true three-shotter for many. Its elongated fairway and guarded green tempt the bold to try for birdie but often punish greed with well-placed bunkers.
Smart placement over both shots is vital—lay up to a favorite distance and avoid the right-side hazards that squeeze the approach angle.
Going for broke with your second can bring thick rough and a web of bunkers into play, leaving a tricky up-and-down.
Solid member standards after renovation, but expect classic club rather than tour-ready slickness.
Typical club pace; few public reviews indicate slow rounds.
Welcoming local-club atmosphere with a sense of place near Logan Canyon.
Nines are reversed compared to legacy layouts—double-check your scorecard before teeing off.
Logan Canyon breezes can shift quickly; bring your long-game and expect testing gusts on the par 3s.
Mountain/valley weather can be cool in the morning and warm by afternoon—dress for all conditions.
Several par 5s and mid-length par 4s reward sharp short-game play after strategic layups.

Complete course redesign by Gene Bates and team, including routing and strategic overhaul
Gene Bates' 2024 redesign was more than a facelift; it flipped the nines, added a maze of new bunkers, and unlocked views of Cache Valley that had previously been hidden. Locals call it the biggest golf upgrade Logan has seen in decades.
Long before the modern era, LPGA founder Patty Berg once gave a clinic at Logan Country Club, connecting the club’s roots to golf’s storied tradition. Her presence left a legacy that persists in the club’s history.
The course has seen Utah’s best compete for the State Am title, with Ray Areno among its champions. These competitive roots feed the club’s reputation as a worthy test when tournament pressure is turned up.
More than 200 trees were carefully removed in the 2024 renovation to open key sightlines and improve playability, while still preserving shade and the classic valley feel. The revitalized corridors invite bolder shotmaking and greater strategy.
The club’s first three holes were built during the depths of the Great Depression.
Patty Berg, one of golf's greatest pioneers, once taught a clinic at the club.
