Black Desert Resort Golf Course: Tom Weiskopf’s Final Utah Masterpiece
Black Desert is a striking modern championship course cut through Southern Utah’s black lava fields and red sandstone cliffs, and the final new design completed by architect Tom Weiskopf.
Black Desert Resort’s championship course was designed by Tom Weiskopf and built in 2023. It measures 7,421 yards at par 71 and sits amid the volcanic landscape of Ivins, Utah, where black lava rock contrasts with green fairways and red cliffs. The course quickly entered the professional golf calendar, hosting PGA TOUR and LPGA Tour events.

The volcanic setting is part of the strategy, not just the scenery.
Black Desert’s strongest identity is the meeting of a modern championship layout and a raw geological landscape. The course asks players to manage angles and distance while the lava fields define the boundaries of the experience.
