What to Expect: Talons Cove is a links layout found on the northwest coast of Utah Lake. Gene Bates is famous for designing courses with long par 3s and Talons Cove is no exception (220, 225, 255), but the greens are large enough to handle long approaches. The setting is quite stunning with the beautiful light blue lake hugging the property and the towering Mount Timpanogos in the distance. Conditions are generally good with firmer fairways to promote the bump-and-run game that links golf is famous for. The two consecutive years after it opened, Talons Cove hosted the Utah Open and was very well received by the participants.
