The bench North Salt Lake
A golf course run as a municipal department, on a hillside with its own rules
Eaglewood, and the rules that come with the hill.
North Salt Lake owns its own 18 hole course, runs it with a general manager on the municipal payroll and puts a standing citizen committee over the top of it. Around it sit the view streets, a neighbourhood park almost nobody writes about, the only pond in the city marked for urban fishing, and a set of seasonal ordinances that draw a line through the middle of town. Here is what the bench gives, what it asks, and one thing the city's own page still promises that the course itself denies.
Southern Utah is my home turf. North Salt Lake is not, so these pages are researched rather than lived: the facts come from the city, the Utah Geological Survey, the state air quality record and the operators themselves, and each one carries the date it was checked. A Davis County partner agent does the on the ground work here.
The live question
Is there still snow tubing on the Eaglewood golf course?
The course itself says no, in plain words, and it is the only party to the question with nothing to gain from either answer. Its own website states that it does not have a tubing operation and cautions that people entering the facility during the winter do so at their own risk. Checked 15 August 2026.
The reason this is a live question at all is that the other sources say something else. The city's own Eaglewood page describes an agreement with an outside operator for winter operations, including snow tubing on a hill with snowmaking, ski and snowboard offerings, a spectator gazebo with picnic tables and a fire pit, and concessions, with selected areas of the golf course still open for public access in the snow season. A regional newspaper reported the operation a success after the 2024 and 2025 winter, running from mid December to late February with the operator making its own snow. And the operator's own website for the site returns a 404.
Two of the four signals say the tubing has gone, one is a city page that may simply be stale and one is a report about a season that has since ended. The honest position, and the one a household should act on, is that a winter tubing operation has run here in recent seasons with an outside operator and that you should confirm whether it is running before you count on it. Ring the course in November. Do not promise it to anybody in October.
The practical city guide on this site promises the tubing hill and the course's own website contradicts it, which is worth knowing before you plan a winter around it. This is the clearest example on the whole companion of why an issuing body beats a summary. The city guide describes a snow tubing operation on the golf course as a rare suburban amenity and repeats it in an answer further down the page, hedged only with a note about confirming the current season. Meanwhile the course, which is the operator of record for its own facility, publishes a flat statement that it has no tubing operation and a warning that anybody entering in winter does so at their own risk. Both were checked on 15 August 2026. The correction belongs on that page and the position to take today is the course's.
The course
A municipal eighteen with a citizen committee sitting over it.
Eaglewood Golf Course at 1110 East Eaglewood Drive is 18 holes at par 71, and the course's own site gives it as 6,224 yards. It is worth knowing that the golf databases disagree, listing 6,772 yards from the longest tees and 5,173 from the forward tees with a course rating of 71.8 and a slope of 123, so the safe published form is about 6,200 yards, par 71, as the course states it. The course does not publish a designer or an opening year on its own site, and both figures in circulation come from third party databases rather than from the operator.
What the course does publish is the practical layer: a Trackman practice range, indoor simulators, a putting green, a full pro shop, lessons through its own academy and a grill with a full menu, open daily from six in the morning to ten at night. On winter play its position is that it depends on the weather and course conditions and that the tee sheet is updated as it opens, while the simulators stay available year round on memberships. For a course on a Wasatch bench that is the honest arrangement rather than a seasonal promise.
The genuinely distinctive fact is the governance. The city owns and runs this course, there is a city Golf Course General Manager on the municipal staff list, and there is a standing Eaglewood Golf Course Oversight Committee alongside the Planning Commission, the parks and recreation advisory board and the health and wellness committee. A municipality with a citizen oversight committee for its golf course is telling you something about how it thinks of the asset. This is a department with a capital plan, not a resort, and its rate card, its cart fleet and its restroom renovations all appear in council presentations like any other line of the budget.
Which is also why the pricing is best described rather than printed. The city's own October 2025 council presentation set out recommended rate changes for 2026, including a move to dynamic pricing on the regular 18 hole green fee and increases to the junior rate, the afternoon special and the punch card, alongside unchanged cart and youth rates. Those were recommendations, headed as such, not adopted rates, so confirm the current schedule with the course. One thing the rate card does not contain, despite the city ownership, is a North Salt Lake resident discount.
The details
Getting there
Eaglewood Drive climbs east off the older part of the city and the course, the grill and the event centre share the same address and the same car park. It is a straightforward paved approach that gains a few hundred feet, which is worth remembering in a storm cycle because the hill holds snow after the flats have cleared.
Before you go
- Confirm the current green fee with the course. The 2026 figures in circulation come from a council presentation of recommended changes, not from an adopted schedule.
- There is no published resident rate, despite the course being owned by the city.
- The yardage on the course's own site and the yardage in the golf databases differ by more than 500 yards. Use the course's figure.
- The indoor simulators are the winter answer here, not the tee sheet. They run year round on memberships.
Around the course
A park, a pond and the streets that carry the view.
Eaglewood Drive, Eagle Ridge Drive and the upper Eaglepointe streets are the view inventory of this city, and the two municipal amenities sitting among them are both small and both absent from every summary of the place. Deer Hollow Park at 840 East Eaglewood Drive, which the city's brochure spells as one word, is a neighbourhood park on the golf course road with picnic tables and a playground and nothing else claimed for it. And Eagleridge Pond at 250 South Lakeside Drive is the only site in the city's entire numbered list that the brochure's amenity grid marks for urban fishing, with parking.
That pond deserves a careful sentence. The city marks urban fishing there and that is a fact about the city's own map. Whether the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources stocks it, whether a fishing licence is required and what the current regulations are were not checked at the division, so nothing on this page should be read as an invitation to catch a fish. Check the division's community fishing material before you take a rod up there, and treat the pond as a place to look at until you have.
Between the bench and the highway sits Eaglewood Village, a 96 acre mixed use development at Eagle Ridge Drive and US-89 approved for 120,000 square feet of retail, 340,000 square feet of office and 570 residential units, with a 214 unit apartment phase as its first delivery. It is one of the city's three community development areas, the other two being the Highway 89 area and the Redwood Road area, which maps the city's redevelopment priorities exactly onto its two industrial corridors plus this bench and highway junction. Acreages, adoption dates, budgets and current phase status for those areas are not summarised by the city, and the widely repeated buildout figure for the village could not be sourced, so it is not printed here. The mover page carries the two corridors.
The details
Getting there
It sits directly on Eaglewood Drive between the townsite and the course, so anybody driving up to the golf course passes it. There is no separate car park worth the name and no signage beyond the city's own listing, which is why almost nothing written about this city mentions it.
Before you go
- The city's brochure spells it Deerhollow as one word and its facility system spells it Deer Hollow. They are the same park.
- Nothing is published here beyond picnic tables and a playground. Do not expect restrooms.
- Eagleridge Pond at 250 South Lakeside Drive is the nearest water and the city's only marked urban fishing site.
- Fishing rules, stocking and licence requirements for that pond were not verified at the Division of Wildlife Resources.
The rules of the hill
One municipal ordinance draws the bench more clearly than any map.
A city can tell you what it thinks about a piece of ground by what it forbids there. In North Salt Lake the fireworks rule does that job in a single line, and the watering rule, the snow rule and the animal rule fill in the rest of what an address here signs up to.
| What the rule is | Where it applies | When | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Fireworks | Permitted only on 2 to 5 July, 22 to 25 July, and on 31 December between 11pm and 1am on 1 January | Not allowed at all east of Orchard Drive or south of Eagleridge Drive | Each holiday plus two days before and one day after |
| Outside watering | No outside watering between 10am and 6pm, and sprinkler irrigation systems prohibited outright for the winter half of the year | Citywide, and subject to drought conditions | The sprinkler ban runs 15 October to 15 April |
| Snow parking | It is unlawful to park a vehicle or trailer on the paved roadway during a snow event or until plowing is complete from pavement edge to pavement edge | Citywide, and it bites hardest on a bench street with a narrow carriageway | Any snow event, and until the plough has finished |
| Animals | Up to three dogs without a permit; four or more requires a kennel licence under city code 10-10-6, with licensing handled by Davis County Animal Control | Citywide | All year |
| Park strip trees | The homeowner is responsible for maintaining 14 feet of clearance above the street and 8 feet above the sidewalk under city code 7-9-6 | Citywide, and mature bench streets are where it comes up | All year |
Seasonal and municipal rules as published by the City of North Salt Lake in its New Resident information, checked 15 August 2026. The watering rule moves with drought conditions and the fireworks windows are set annually alongside the South Davis Metro Fire Agency, so read the city's own current notice before each July rather than this table. Fee schedules attached to any of these are separate and are not reproduced here.
Fireworks are not allowed east of Orchard Drive or south of Eagleridge Drive. That is a wildfire line, and it runs straight through the middle of a city.
One correction
Eaglewood is not a Legacy Parkway Trail trailhead.
The claim turns up on trail listings and it is geographically impossible. The Legacy Parkway Trail runs along the valley floor on the west side of Interstate 15, and Eaglewood is a bench golf and residential area several hundred feet up on the east side of it. There is no access from one to the other except by driving across the city, and the trail's own trailhead list does not include Eaglewood.
The trail doors that do exist inside this city are both on the west side and both belong to another page. The Foxboro page names them, and the trail itself is written once for the whole county at the region topic, which carries its length, its trailheads, its termini and what the current parkway widening means for anybody planning a ride.
The trail door for a bench address is the shoreline access at the top of the Eaglepointe streets, not the paved corridor on the flats. That is a two mile difference in distance and about a five hundred foot difference in altitude, and it is the whole reason these are two separate pages.
What the bench actually connects to
Four city doors, all of them uphill of the golf course rather than downhill of it: Tunnel Springs Park at the top of Eaglepointe, Wild Rose Trailhead Park off Sky Crest Lane, the Cynthia Way trailhead at the south end and the Springhill Geologic Park car park north of Eagle Ridge Drive. From those, community mapped singletrack runs south and east toward the foothill system across the county line and toward the canyon mouth south of the city. The city's own committee has connecting them written down as a job of work.

What a bench address gives and what the same hill charges for it.
The offer is straightforward and it is real: a municipal eighteen at walking distance from a large part of the neighbourhood, four free trail doors above it, a view down the valley toward the lake, and grey winter days that are frequently spent in sunshine above the layer sitting on the floor of the valley. For a household that wants a hillside without a mountain town commute, ten minutes from a capital city, that is a genuinely unusual package on this front.
The charges are equally concrete. A hill holds snow after the flats have cleared and the climb home in a storm cycle is a real driving consideration. No fireworks east of Orchard Drive means the bench sits inside a wildfire line rather than beside one. The sprinkler ban from 15 October to 15 April and the daytime watering ban apply here as everywhere in the city. And an offer on this side of town comes with the document set the ordinance requires, which is the subject of a whole separate page and should be read before an offer rather than during an inspection period.
The last one is the one people underestimate, so it gets a link rather than a summary. The Parkway Drive page sets out what city code title 10 chapter 12 asks for, what a site specific geologic hazard report is required to cover and what a buyer should have in the file. It is not a warning against the bench. It is the reading list that comes with it.
What this page leaves to somebody else
- Prices, taxes and what the bench costs against the flats. Those belong to the practical city guide, which carries the per source figures with their dates on them.
- A head to head against the neighbouring city. There is no comparison page for North Salt Lake on the site yet, and when one is written it will live on the comparisons index rather than being argued out here.
- The trail network above these streets, which has its own page at Tunnel Springs Park, including the four doors and which connections are funded rather than finished.
- Whether the winter tubing runs this year. The course says it has no tubing operation, the city page still describes one, and only a telephone call in November settles it.
- Anything about who lives on these streets. This companion describes ground, buildings, rules and seasons, and that is the whole of what a page like this has any business describing.

Eaglewood, answered.
The city does. Eaglewood is a public 18 hole course on the east bench owned by North Salt Lake, run with a Golf Course General Manager on the municipal staff list and overseen by a standing Eaglewood Golf Course Oversight Committee, which sits alongside the Planning Commission, the parks and recreation advisory board and the health and wellness committee. That governance is the most distinctive thing about it: this is a municipal department with a capital plan, and its rate card, its cart fleet and its building works appear in council presentations like any other budget line.
The course itself says no. Its own website states that it does not have a tubing operation and cautions that people entering the facility during the winter do so at their own risk, checked 15 August 2026. The city's own Eaglewood page still describes an agreement with an outside operator for winter tubing with snowmaking, a spectator gazebo and concessions, and a regional newspaper reported the operation a success after the 2024 and 2025 winter, while the operator's own site for it returns a 404. Ring the course in November before counting on it.
Eighteen holes at par 71, and the course's own site gives 6,224 yards. The golf databases disagree, listing 6,772 yards from the longest tees and 5,173 from the forward tees with a course rating of 71.8 and a slope of 123, so the safe form is about 6,200 yards at par 71 as the course states it. The course publishes neither a designer nor an opening year on its own site, and the figures in circulation for both come from third party databases rather than from the operator.
A Trackman practice range, indoor simulators, a putting green, a full pro shop, lessons through the course's own academy and a grill with a full menu, open daily from six in the morning to ten at night. There is also the Eaglewood Event Center, a remodelled reception and event venue with valley views, run as a city facility for weddings, corporate functions and tournaments. On winter play the course's position is that it depends on the weather and course conditions, while the simulators stay available year round on memberships.
East of Orchard Drive and south of Eagleridge Drive, at any time. Elsewhere in the city, fireworks are permitted only on 2 to 5 July, 22 to 25 July, and on 31 December between 11pm and 1am on 1 January, which is each holiday plus two days before and one day after. The bench ban is a wildfire line and it is the cleanest single way to understand what a hillside address in this city signs up to. The windows are set annually with the South Davis Metro Fire Agency, so read the city's own current notice each summer.
No, and the claim is geographically impossible. The Legacy Parkway Trail runs along the valley floor west of Interstate 15 and Eaglewood is a bench area several hundred feet above it on the east side, with no access between the two except by driving across the city. The trail's own trailhead list does not include Eaglewood. The trail doors inside this city are both on the west side, at Center Street and near the big park at 1100 North, and the trail itself is written once for the whole county at the region topic.
It is the one site in the city's entire numbered park and trail list that the amenity grid marks for urban fishing, at 250 South Lakeside Drive with parking. That is a fact about the city's own map and nothing more. Whether the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources stocks it, whether a fishing licence is required and what the current regulations are were not checked at the division, so treat it as a place to look at until you have read the division's own community fishing material.
A 96 acre mixed use development at Eagle Ridge Drive and US-89, approved for 120,000 square feet of retail, 340,000 square feet of office and 570 residential units, with a 214 unit apartment phase as its first delivery. It is one of the city's three community development areas, the other two covering the Highway 89 corridor and the Redwood Road corridor. Acreages, adoption dates, budgets and current phase status for those areas are not summarised by the city, and the widely repeated buildout figure for the village could not be sourced, so it is not printed here.
No outside watering between 10am and 6pm, and sprinkler irrigation systems are prohibited from 15 October through 15 April, both subject to drought conditions. Two other municipal rules are worth knowing at the same time: during a snow event it is unlawful to park a vehicle or trailer on the paved roadway until plowing is complete from pavement edge to pavement edge, and a household may keep up to three dogs without a permit, with four or more requiring a kennel licence under city code 10-10-6 and licensing handled by Davis County Animal Control.
A municipal eighteen, four trail doors and a document set that comes with the view.
The bench is the most distinctive housing in this city and it is the half that asks the most specific questions: which side of Orchard Drive a street sits on, what the climb home looks like in a storm cycle, whether a parcel falls inside the mapped hazard areas the ordinance covers, and what a site specific geologic hazard report actually says once somebody who reads them for a living has been through it. Send me the streets and I will put you with a Davis County partner agent who works this hill, and stay on the file for the financing side.
Referral disclosure. Outside Southern Utah, I connect home sellers and buyers with partner agents I trust in their area. If you choose to work with an agent I refer, that agent's brokerage pays my brokerage (Real Broker, LLC) a referral fee. The fee comes out of the agent's compensation; it is not an added cost to you. You are always free to choose any agent you wish, and using a referred agent is never required.
