Because the St. George area is located between the Rocky Mountains and the desert southwest, it features the distinct landscapes of both. It has forested mountain ranges and high plateaus, along with rugged and starkly beautiful red rock desert.

Golf, anyone?


I don’t golf....never have. But we have lots of beautiful golf courses to choose from.

In relationship to its population, the St. George area offers more golf than any other place in the Sunbelt. The golf courses in the St. George area are known for their challenging designs, their well maintained fairways and greens, and their spectacular scenic features. This is a year-round golf community with eleven great courses within a 15-minute drive from each other. In fact, several of the top rated courses in Utah are found here.



With blue skies and very little wind, winter daytime temperatures are generally in the 55-to-65 degree range making for ideal conditions for a round of 18 or more. Many local hotels even offer golf packages in which they can confirm your tee times - weeks and even several months in advance.

I was a little unsure of what the Sunbelt (mentioned above) was. So I went online to find out. So the following is quoted somewhat from an internet encyclopedia:



Sunbelt...southern tier of the United States, focused on Florida, Texas, Arizona, and California. The term gained wide use in the 1970s, when the economic and political impact of the nation's overall shift in population to the south and west became conspicuous. Economic growth in many Sun Belt cities since World War II has stimulated interregional migration from the NE United States. During the 1990s the fastest growing cities in the United States were in the Sun Belt. The warm climate has attracted large retirement communities, especially in Florida, Arizona and southern Utah.
