Glenwild Golf Real Estate Update

By Todd Anderson

May 06, 2013

Glenwild is without a doubt one of the best golf courses in Utah and a premier Park City real esate area; in 2006 the course was rated as “Best in State” by Golf Digest and it has remained at the top of lists ever since. It should, without a doubt, be on your list if you are considering a second home in one of Park City’s golf communities. Located only 20 minutes from downtown Park City or Salt Lake City it should also be a consideration for families wanting to live in Park City who commute to Salt Lake. The par 71 championship course was designed by Tom Fazio and plays up to 7451 yards from the tips but with four tee boxes there is enough variation in yardage for players of all abilities to enjoy the experience. Last summer the greens, which are perfectly manicured, stimp as high as 12.

Now to Glenwild real estate. Of the 200 luxury homes and home sites at Glenwild there are 12 homes and 12 lots for sale currently. In the past 12 months there were 7 Glenwild homes sold. During this time 20 lots sold. The average price per square foot of the homes sold was $378 while the average for homes for sale is $419 per square foot. The active buyers in the Park City Real Estate market seem to be saying that they are willing endure the building process unless the price of an existing home is very compelling. The YouInParkCity.com group, as a member of the “Builder Services” division of Keller Williams Park City Real Estate works with many of the Park City builders and has access to a wealth of information regarding building trends and costs and what buyers are saying makes a lot of sense. At the builder service practice group we leverage these contacts and information to help ensure the design build process goes smoothly for our clients.

What makes Glenwild unique among Park City’s 5 golf communities, in our opinion, is that it offers a more intimate setting than most of the other golf developments which are substantially larger. The amenities which, in addition to golf, include an exceptional trails system, state of the art spa, spacious swimming pool, tennis courts, an elegant clubhouse and an inviting restaurant are sized to accommodate the limited membership. Glenwild is also the only gated golf community in Park City to offer memberships to people that don’t own property in the community.

There are currently 36 of the 325 memberships available. The price for a golf membership is $75,000 with annual dues running $12,000. Social memberships are also available for $15,000 with annual dues costing $6,000.

Park City Private Golf Community Udpate

By Todd Anderson

May 01, 2013

Golf in and around Park City, UT is near and dear to the YouInParkCity.com group so with the days getting longer and the golf season fast approaching; it is time to take a look at the past 12 months in the five amazing private City golf communities. The communities of Glenwild, Promontory, Red Ledges, Tuhaye and Victory Ranch are home to some of the top courses in the state; all of the courses have received national recognition. Which course ranks where is a matter of opinion but in terms of layout and condition they are all exceptional. The courses are all relatively young and are only improving.

In the past 12 months there have been 149 sales plus 35 pending sales in Glenwild, Promontory, Red Ledges, Tuhaye and Victory Ranch combined. This number includes vacant land, single family homes and condos. For the same time a year ago total sales were 127 properties. Both years had approximately two dozen distressed sales. Current distressed inventory makes up less than 5% of the current available inventory.

The more than 15% rise in sales has been accompanied by an increase in prices with the average selling price of vacant lots up by nearly 30%. Market indicators for Park City area real estate are very strong and this bodes well for the private golf course communities in Park City as well. In the next few weeks we here at YouInParkCity.com will break down the real estate sales for the past year and review the upcoming and ongoing improvements being made at each of the five private golf course communities in the area.

All of the local Park City area public golf courses are already open and the private courses will be open by Memorial Day. For specifics on a particular golf course community homes in Park City, UT contact the YouInParkCity.com Group at (888)968-4672.

Red Ledges Golf

By Todd Anderson

Aug 01, 2009

The Red Ledges golf community in Heber City put out the call to local Park City area REALTORS® to come out and play 9 holes. Rob and I gladly accepted to represent the YouInparkCity.com group from Keller Williams Park City Mountain Resort Real Estate.

Red Ledges is less than 2 miles east of Main St. Heber City, Utah down Center St. (aka Lake Creek Rd), lays the Red Ledges community development. About 20 minutes from Park City, UT. Red Ledges' new Jack Nicklaus Signature golf course opened for play on the 3^rd of July, 2009. The private course is the newest addition to the Park City area golf courses now numbering over 15.

We were greeted at the golf course pro-shop, clubhouse and restaurant (a comfortable facility that will be used until the main clubhouse is built at a future date) and sent to the practice range for a few warm-up swings. The practice range has well laid out greens and bunkers and a beautiful backdrop. There is a newly constructed 5400 Sq. ft. home for sale overlooking the practice facility from the east with an asking price of $3.5M.

We started on the par 3 9^th hole which plays just over 200 yards from the "members' tees" (blue). The pin was hidden by a large juniper which we aimed over from the elevated tee box. The hole is very picturesque, nestled up against the namesake red ledges that will be home to the future clubhouse. The red dirt and rocky out croppings surrounded by sage, juniper and natural vegetation make for a beautiful golf hole (a recurring theme throughout the course).

The course proved to be a classic risk/reward style course which forces you to know your game and distances ("can I fly that bunker in the center of the fairway 260 yards uphill?"). The course pushes you to "think your way around". There are many elevation changes within the course and flat lies were few and far between. The greens run fast but true with many undulations. Rob walked away from it saying "I love it". It is a fair test and the setting is fantastic. I think it will prove to be a course that you can play over and over without becoming bored.

We finished the day with frosty beverages and hors devours on the deck with views of the Mt. Timpanogos. We were told that the back nine (finished and playable) has even better views as it sits higher up the hill than the front which we had played (hopefully we'll see it next time).

There is a nine hole "short course" also planned for the Red Ledges community, but next to come will be the pool and gym facilities in the village center of the area. There are over 1400 lots that will ultimately be sold within Red Ledges (this will likely take10-15 years), but only 400 golf memberships. This gives some good insight to the fact that this community is not just about the golf. So while Red Ledges has made the golf portion of the development the first amenity to the community, golf is not necessarily the main focus of the overall master plan. Like other Park City real estate area private community and club style developments, Red Ledges plans a community style social atmosphere based around pool and gym facilities, equestrian access, future tennis club facilities, cross country skiing, snowmobiling, alpine skiing (at Deer Valley), and planned social events.
