Welcome to the Fore Golfers Network/Michigan Golf Live Podcast Ep 499 - Black Desert Resort - Golf Paradise In Utah
This is the first installment of a new fall travel series where we showcase a fantastic selection of awesome golf destinations around the nation. We begin near Saint George, Utah at Black Desert Resort.
Nestled among red rock cliffs, black lava fields, and expansive desert horizons, Black Desert Resort is a fresh icon in luxury, golf, wellness, and adventure. The resort spans roughly 600 acres and blends high-end hospitality with rugged natural beauty. Its signature feature is a Tom Weiskopf–designed 19-hole championship golf course (with a bonus "19th hole") carved through lava rock terrain and framed by vermilion cliffs—his final architectural masterpiece.
This awesome course was the final design of Weiskopf's career and the resort has already drawn national attention, hosting both PGA TOUR and LPGA events, marking the return of a professional tour to Utah after more than six decades.
⛳ The Golf Experience At Black Desert, every round is immersive. You'll enjoy 15-minute tee times, GPS carts with hole-by-hole commentary, full practice facilities including a 36-hole illuminated putting green, and a forecaddie for your group. The course stretches to over 7,200 yards, demanding both strategy and creativity through its volcanic terrain and daring elevation changes. Your green fee even includes food and nonalcoholic beverages served at Oasis and Club 73 during your round, adding to the all-inclusive golf experience that sets Black Desert apart.
🛌 Accommodations & Amenities The resort features nearly 800 hotel rooms and luxury residences across multiple collections—Hotel, Plume Wellness, Resort, and The Terrace—tailored to fit every guest's lifestyle. Guests can enjoy a 15,000-square-foot wellness and spa center, pools, fitness facilities, hiking trails, and an upcoming waterpark experience. Dining is equally impressive, offering a range of experiences from a signature steakhouse and upscale BBQ to casual local favorites—all designed to reflect both luxury and local flavor.
🌄 Adventure & Surroundings Black Desert isn't just about golf. It's your gateway to some of the most iconic landscapes in the American Southwest, including Zion National Park, Snow Canyon State Park, Sand Hollow, and Kanarraville Falls. Whether hiking slot canyons, off-road exploring, or visiting cultural destinations like Tuacahn and the Kayenta Art Village, every day brings a new adventure.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
