Black Desert Resort: A Desert Golf Escape for Canadians

How can you not want to head to Utah to take in the golf at Black Desert Resort after watching the coverage on the Golf Channel, with golf winding down here in Canada it looks like a place I will be putting on my “must play” list.

For Canadian golfers dreaming of year-round play, Black Desert Resort in southern Utah feels like another planet — in the best way. Set among black lava rock and red sandstone cliffs, the contrast of emerald fairways against desert colors is absolutely striking.

The resort’s Tom Weiskopf–designed course — his final masterpiece — winds naturally through the landscape, offering both challenge and beauty in every swing. It’s the kind of course that makes you stop mid-round just to take in the view.

Off the course, Black Desert mixes modern luxury with rugged scenery: sleek rooms, a full spa, rooftop dining, and trails that lead right into the desert. You can golf in the morning, explore nearby Zion National Park in the afternoon, and unwind under a neon sunset at night.

For Canadians escaping the cold, it’s hard to beat — warm weather, world-class golf, and scenery that feels almost unreal. Black Desert isn’t just a resort; it’s a reminder that golf can still surprise you
