Golf in American Fork

American Fork occupies a productive bench at the base of American Fork Canyon in Utah County, where a tributary of the Jordan River drains off the Wasatch Range. The city is part of the dense urban corridor running between Salt Lake City and Provo — the Wasatch Front's spine — but retains a community identity shaped by proximity to the canyon mouth and the outdoor recreation it opens up. American Fork Canyon leads to Robert Redford's Sundance Resort and the peaks around Mount Timpanogos, Utah Valley's defining summit. The city is part of Utah's tech economy, Silicon Slopes, but golf here is grounded in the mountain terrain that makes Utah County distinctive — high elevation, low humidity, and the Timpanogos massif filling the eastern skyline.
