When planning a golf getaway to Utah, Salt Lake City is the perfect place to stay, because you can golf in Salt Lake and still be near several other popular courses in surrounding cities. For example, Hidden Valley Country Club in Sandy, The Homestead in Midway, Thanksgiving Point in Lehi, and Jeremy Ranch in Park City are all within an hour's drive of the downtown area. If you'd like to take along your significant other, it's easy to turn the trip into a romantic getaway---if you choose to stay at one of several unique, romantic hotels in the city.
