Alpine Country Club

Alpine Country Club in Highland overlooks the Wasatch Mountains with water hazards on at least eight holes and sand bunkers throughout the bentgrass-greens layout designed by William H. Neff in 1958. John Fought led hole redesigns in 2008 and bunker renovations in 2018.

Alpine Country Club in Highland, Utah was organized and chartered as a nonprofit Utah corporation in 1958, founded by a group of businessmen who envisioned an affordable golf and social club where the emphasis was on the game and family life. Golf course architect William Neff Sr. designed the course. The front nine opened in the spring of 1959, followed by the back nine shortly after — a rapid construction timeline that reflected the confidence of the founding membership in the project. William Neff Sr. designed Alpine Country Club as an 18-hole layout with a par of 72.

The course occupies terrain on the slopes above Utah Valley, where the foothills of the Wasatch Front provide natural elevation changes and water hazards appear on at least eight holes throughout the layout. The views of Utah Valley and the surrounding Wasatch Mountains provide a dramatic visual backdrop across the round, giving the course a scenic character that distinguishes it from the valley-floor courses of the broader Wasatch Front region. Alpine hosted its first Utah Open in 1970, marking the beginning of a long relationship with competitive golf in the state. Over the decades since, the club has hosted Utah Men's State Amateur golf championships and charitable tournaments, extending its role beyond member golf to serve the broader Utah golf community.

In 2008 and 2009, architect John Fought, ASGCA, was engaged to redesign select holes, focusing on holes 11, 12, and 13. Fought also removed trees in problem areas to restore the openness of original playing corridors. Fought returned in 2018 for additional bunker renovation work, continuing the selective improvement program that had begun a decade earlier. In 2025, Alpine Country Club announced a $6.8 million renovation project — the first phase of a three-phase, 10-year plan — to be led again by John Fought.

The project, scheduled for completion in fall 2027, includes creation of a state-of-the-art practice facility and further updates to key course features. The scale of that investment reflects the membership's ongoing commitment to maintaining Alpine's position as the leading private golf institution in the south Utah Valley communities. The club is managed by Troon, which provides operations expertise while the membership retains the private club culture that has defined Alpine Country Club since its founding.
