The bench North Salt Lake
The hillside golf-course neighborhood on North Salt Lake's east bench
Eaglewood, the golf course and the view streets above the valley
Eaglewood is the hillside above North Salt Lake, where the streets climb a few hundred feet off the old townsite, wrap around a city-owned golf course, and turn to face west down the valley toward the Great Salt Lake. This is the city's view side: bench lots, a public 18-hole course with its own event center, quiet trail doors onto the foothills, and the practical things a hillside address asks of you, from the fireworks line to the geologic-hazard reading that comes with buying on a slope. Here is what the bench gives and what it asks. The prices, the schools and the current listings live on the North Salt Lake city guide.

The short answer
Eaglewood is the view side of North Salt Lake. It is the bench above the old townsite, a hillside of streets that climb a few hundred feet and look west down the valley toward the Great Salt Lake, built around a city-owned golf course with a driving range, indoor simulators and an event center. The draw is the view and the quiet, plus trail doors onto the foothills a short walk uphill. The tradeoffs are practical and worth knowing before you pick a street: a hill holds snow longer, the whole bench sits inside the city's no-fireworks wildfire line, and buying on a slope here comes with a geologic-hazard report you want in the file.

The golf course
A public course at the center of the neighborhood
The course is what gives the neighborhood its shape and its name. Eaglewood Golf Course sits at 1110 East Eaglewood Drive, right on the bench, and the streets bend around and above it. It is a public 18-hole course at par 71 and roughly 6,200 yards, owned and run by the City of North Salt Lake, which means anyone can play it and the rates are set by the city rather than a private club. Confirm the current green fee and cart fee with the course, because a city course reprices season to season like any other.
There is more here than the eighteen. The clubhouse carries a Trackman practice range, indoor golf simulators, a putting green, a full pro shop and a grill, and the Eaglewood Event Center next door is a city reception venue that trades on the same valley view, used for weddings and tournaments. For a household on the bench, the practical value is that the range, the simulators and a bite to eat are a few minutes uphill rather than a drive across town.
Winter is the honest caveat of any course on a Wasatch bench. Play depends on the weather and the course conditions, so the tee sheet opens as the ground allows, and the hill holds snow after the flats below have cleared. The indoor simulators are the real winter answer, running year round on memberships. The course has also hosted seasonal winter recreation with an outside operator in recent years, so if that is part of the appeal, check what is actually running before you plan a winter around it.
The course, in plain terms
The bench and the view
The view streets, and two small places among them
Eaglewood Drive, Eagle Ridge Drive and the upper Eaglepointe roads are the city's view inventory. The ground rises off the townsite and the homes step up the hill with it, so the higher and more westward a lot sits, the more of the valley and the lake it takes in, and the more of a gray winter day it tends to spend in sun above the haze on the floor below. That westward view over the golf course and the flats is the whole reason the bench stands apart as its own kind of address in North Salt Lake.
Two small public places sit among the streets and neither one shows up in most write-ups of the city. Deer Hollow Park at 840 East Eaglewood Drive is a neighborhood park on the golf course road, picnic tables and a playground and not much more, the kind of place you pass on the way up rather than drive to. And Eagleridge Pond at 250 South Lakeside Drive is the one spot on the city's park map marked for urban fishing, with a small lot. Before you carry a rod up there, check the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources community fishing rules, since stocking and license requirements are theirs to set, not the city's.
Where the bench meets the highway, Eaglewood Village is the commercial piece: a 96-acre mixed-use area at Eagle Ridge Drive and US-89 with retail, offices and housing at the foot of the hill. It is the reason a bench household has shopping and services close by without driving down to the freeway. The everyday texture of the corridor below the hill, the refinery flats and the ordinary first month beside them, is its own page at the refinery corridor.
Among the streets
Trails and the trail myth
The trail doors are uphill, not down on the flats
The good news for a bench household is that the foothill trails start right above the neighborhood. The city's own doors onto the Bonneville Shoreline system are Tunnel Springs Park at 1080 Eaglepointe Drive and the Wild Rose Trailhead at 650 East Sky Crest Lane, with a shoreline access off the upper Eaglepointe streets as well. From there the mapped singletrack heads out toward the foothills that run along the top of the county. The doors, what each one gives you and where they connect are laid out on the Tunnel Springs Park page.
The confusion worth clearing up is the Legacy Parkway Trail. You will see Eaglewood listed as a trailhead for it, and that is simply wrong on the map. The Legacy Parkway Trail runs along the valley floor west of Interstate 15, and Eaglewood is the east bench several hundred feet above it, with no direct route between the two. The trailheads that do exist in this city are both on the west side, near Center Street and by the big park at 1100 North. The paved parkway trail is written once for the whole county, with its trailheads and termini, on the Legacy Parkway Trail page.
So the trail door for a bench address is the shoreline access at the top of the Eaglepointe streets, uphill and east, not the corridor on the flats. That is a couple of miles and a few hundred feet of difference, and it is the whole reason the two are separate walks.
What a hillside address asks
The fireworks line, the seasons, and the reading a slope comes with
A few city rules land harder on the bench than on the flats, and the fireworks rule is the clearest. Nobody may set off fireworks east of Orchard Drive or south of Eagleridge Drive at any time, which covers essentially all of the hill. Everywhere else in the city they are allowed only around the two July holidays and on New Year's Eve. That line is a wildfire measure on dry foothill ground, set each year with the South Davis Metro Fire Agency, so read the city's current notice before each July rather than assuming last year's dates.
The seasonal rules are worth knowing before you own a lawn here. There is no outdoor watering between 10am and 6pm, and sprinkler systems are shut off from 15 October through 15 April, both tightened further in a drought year. Two more small ones bite on a bench street: during a snow event you cannot leave a vehicle on the roadway until the plow has finished curb to curb, and a household may keep up to three dogs without a kennel license under city code. None of it is unusual for the Wasatch Front; it is just the fine print of a hillside street.
The one people underestimate is the ground itself, so it gets a plain sentence rather than a scary one. Parts of the North Salt Lake bench sit in mapped geologic-hazard areas, and the city requires a site-specific geologic-hazard study before building on hillside ground. A slope failure on Parkway Drive in the Eaglepointe area in 2014 is the reason that requirement gets attention here. It is not a reason to avoid the bench, and plenty of the hill sits well outside the mapped areas; it is a document set worth having in the file before you write an offer. The full account, and what a buyer should look for, is on the Parkway Drive page.
On a hillside lot, ask for the geologic-hazard report before you write an offer, not during the inspection period. North Salt Lake requires a site-specific geologic-hazard study for building on the bench, and for a buyer that report is the single most useful document in the file. A partner agent who works this hill will know which streets fall inside the mapped areas and how to read what the study says. The Parkway Drive page covers what the report should include.
No fireworks east of Orchard Drive or south of Eagleridge Drive. That one line is a wildfire measure, and it draws the edge of the bench more plainly than any map.
Quick answers
Eaglewood, answered
Eaglewood sits on North Salt Lake's east bench, uphill of the original townsite and about 1.7 miles from City Hall on Center Street. It is the hillside above the freeway and the flats, a set of view streets, Eaglewood Drive, Eagle Ridge Drive and the upper Eaglepointe roads, wrapped around and above the city's golf course. The ground climbs a few hundred feet, so the higher lots look west across the valley toward the Great Salt Lake.
A public 18-hole course at 1110 East Eaglewood Drive, owned and run by the City of North Salt Lake, at par 71 and about 6,200 yards. The clubhouse holds a Trackman practice range, indoor simulators, a putting green, a pro shop and a grill, and the Eaglewood Event Center next door is a city reception venue with valley views. Rates are set by the city, so confirm the current green fee and cart fee with the course.
Yes. The bench is the city's view inventory: the streets that climb the hill, Eaglewood Drive, Eagle Ridge Drive and the upper Eaglepointe roads, look west and down the valley toward the Great Salt Lake, over the golf course and the flats below. The higher and more westward a lot sits, the wider the view, and the more of the winter it tends to spend in sun above the haze that settles on the valley floor.
It depends on the weather and the course conditions, which is the honest answer for any course on a Wasatch bench, so the tee sheet opens as the ground allows. The indoor golf simulators run year round on memberships, and the course has hosted seasonal winter recreation with an outside operator in recent years, so check what is actually running with the course before you plan a winter around it.
No. The Legacy Parkway Trail runs along the valley floor west of Interstate 15, and Eaglewood is the east bench several hundred feet above it, with no direct route between the two. The trail's own trailheads in this city are both on the west side, near Center Street and by the big park at 1100 North. The whole trail is covered on the Davis County region page.

East of Orchard Drive and south of Eagleridge Drive, at any time, which covers the bench. Elsewhere in the city, fireworks are allowed only on 2 to 5 July, 22 to 25 July, and on 31 December from 11pm to 1am on 1 January. The bench line is a wildfire measure, set each year with the South Davis Metro Fire Agency, so read the city's current notice before each July.
No outdoor watering between 10am and 6pm, and sprinkler irrigation systems are shut off from 15 October through 15 April, both tightened further in a drought. Two other city rules matter on a hillside street: during a snow event you cannot park on the roadway until the plow has finished curb to curb, and a household may keep up to three dogs without a kennel license under city code.
The view side of the city, and the half that asks the most questions
The bench is the most distinctive part of North Salt Lake, and it is the half where the details matter most: which side of Orchard Drive a street sits on, what the view actually takes in, what the climb home looks like in a snow cycle, and what a hillside lot's geologic-hazard report says before you commit. Tell me the streets you are weighing and I will connect you with a Davis County partner agent who works this hill, and stay on the file for the financing side.
