And while the amazing views of Utah Valley are alone worth the experience, great golf is really what it's all about on this exciting target layout. "This course offers some incredible views," said Randy Anderson, PGA Head Golf Professional at Cascade Golf Center. "It's a target course that is a lot of fun but also challenging." While the existing Valley nine is forgiving to the golfer, who sends the occasional errant shot onto the adjacent fairway, the Mountain nine puts a premium on course management and shot-making, with fairways carved through the natural canyons of the mountainside. The par-36 Mountain Course begins with the par-3 10th hole, which includes a natural rock formation as its signature. The 11th hole is a challenging, uphill par-5 dogleg dog-leg left that finishes with a large double green, shared with the par-3 12th in the tradition tra-dition of St. Andrews.

Roger Black, chief operating officer of UTOPIA, gave the update, which was a status report to member cities in the UTOPIA network. Eighteen Utah cities, including Orem, have banded together to create the interlocal entity, which, according to an information brochure, "gives its members resources to design, finance,; build, operate, and maintain a; modern telecommunications network."
