Talisker Club

Talisker Club is Park City's only four-venue private club model, spanning Tuhaye (near the Jordanelle Reservoir, in the town of Hideout, Wasatch County), Empire Pass (the upper-mountain, ski-in/ski-out residential area of Deer Valley Resort, Summit County), and a third, smaller enclave called Red Cloud (30 homesites, also at Deer Valley) -- plus The Outpost, a backcountry recreation club. The club's only golf course, an 18-hole, par-72, Mark O'Meara design stretching to roughly 7,800 yards, sits physically at Tuhaye; Empire Pass and Red Cloud have no golf course of their own, and their owners access Tuhaye's course only through Talisker Club membership. This research independently confirmed Red Cloud as a real, distinct third Talisker-affiliated community (not just a sub-area of Empire Pass) -- a genuine finding beyond the manifest's two-community framing, worth flagging explicitly for the coordinator's community-merge pass.

Membership is structured as a single equity tier, reported consistently at a $300,000 deposit as of July 2026 (80% refundable upon resale) across two independently worded search passes. The manifest's flagged internal conflict about how tightly this membership is bundled to real estate is real and this research did not resolve it: one clear framing states that Talisker Club membership 'isn't optional if you buy in Tuhaye through a developer offering -- it's required,' with an approximately $200,000 initiation fee 'built into the purchase price'; a separate, differently sourced framing states just as clearly that 'membership is not included with every property, and eligibility and availability can vary depending on the property being purchased' across all three communities. These two framings cannot both be describing the same transaction type, and this research records the conflict explicitly (membership_tied_to_property and membership_required_for_homeowners are both set to 'unknown') rather than picking one narrative to present as settled fact.

Despite that open question, qualification here does not depend on resolving it: Talisker Club is a genuine, substantial private club with a real six-figure equity-membership structure and direct on-course integration at Tuhaye, embedded in a large, multi-community residential footprint spanning two counties. A buyer evaluating any specific Talisker-affiliated property should treat the membership question as a deal-specific fact to confirm directly, not a community-wide given in either direction.
