Thinking About Living in Entrada at Snow Canyon Country Club?
Get connected with a local real-estate specialist who understands Entrada at Snow Canyon Country Club and the surrounding St. George golf market.
Entrada at Snow Canyon Country Club is a private, gated equity club built into the lava flows and red sandstone at the western edge of St. George, near Snow Canyon State Park. Developed beginning in 1996, the club and its surrounding community were conceived together from the start: Entrada is not a course later ringed by houses, but a purpose-built golf-residential development whose original Johnny Miller and Fred Bliss course routed through the property's arroyos, lava beds, and sandstone cliffs became the organizing feature of a now roughly 1,600-plus-home gated community.
The course itself underwent a complete, ground-up rebuild between 2020 and 2022 under architect David McLay Kidd (best known for Bandon Dunes, Gamble Sands, and Mammoth Dunes), assisted by Troon's design and agronomy team -- new irrigation and drainage, rebuilt and resurfaced greens, re-contoured fairways, and every bunker reimagined, at a reported cost of roughly $7 million. The rebuilt course reopened April 1, 2022 and won Golf Digest's Best Transformation award that year, giving Entrada a genuinely dual design pedigree -- Miller/Bliss's original routing, McLay Kidd's modern execution -- that this record cites explicitly rather than picking one credit over the other.
What earns Entrada its flagship standing is a documented bundled-to-homeownership mechanic that many private clubs in this research lack: the club's own membership page states that its Regular Equity and Limited Golf Equity membership categories require purchasing a lot or home within the Entrada property. An Invitational Equity category exists for members who do not own Entrada property, and an Associate Membership is described as mandatory for owners in specific (not all) Entrada sub-associations -- real internal variation that buyers should verify precinct by precinct rather than assume uniformly. Play itself is restricted to members, their guests, and guests of the on-site Inn at Entrada; it is not open public golf.
Golf & Course
The original 18-hole course, designed by Johnny Miller with Fred Bliss, opened in 1996 across 710 acres of desert terrain -- arroyos, lava beds, and rolling dunes at the foot of the Navajo and Kayenta sandstone formations. In 2020-2022, David McLay Kidd led a complete, 17-month, roughly $7-million rebuild -- new irrigation and drainage, rebuilt Bentgrass greens, re-contoured fairways, relocated tees, and every bunker reimagined -- with Troon's design, development, and agronomy team assisting. The rebuilt course reopened April 1, 2022 and won Golf Digest's Best Transformation award for that year.
Membership & Access
Does buying a home here include club membership?
Entrada is a private, gated equity club; play is limited to members, their guests, and guests of the on-site Inn at Entrada. Membership is structured in four categories: Regular Equity and Limited Golf Equity (both explicitly requiring purchase of an Entrada lot or home, per the club's own membership page), Invitational Equity (equitable, voting, transferable, and does not require property ownership), and Associate Membership (non-equity, mandatory for property owners in specific Entrada associations, not universally). No first-party initiation fee or dues figures are published; a third-party aggregator describes a historical range from the mid-five figures to over $100,000 depending on category, but this is not independently confirmed.
Living in Entrada at Snow Canyon Country Club
The surrounding Entrada community is a gated, master-planned development of roughly 1,600-plus homes (one aggregator cites a planned total near 1,682) built directly around the golf course, with sub-communities such as The Reserve at Entrada (predominantly 2010s-built patio homes) carrying their own HOA structures layered beneath the overall Entrada Property Owners' Association (entradapoa.com).

What Buyers Should Verify
- Confirm current initiation fees and dues for each membership category directly with the club -- not published online; only unverified third-party aggregator estimates were found.
- Confirm which specific Entrada sub-association a given property belongs to before assuming Associate Membership is mandatory -- the club's own material describes this obligation as applying to 'specific associations,' not the entire development.
- Confirm current membership waitlist status and any cap on Invitational Equity memberships directly with the club.
Notable
- The original 1996 course was designed by Johnny Miller with Fred Bliss; a complete, $7-million, 17-month rebuild by David McLay Kidd reopened April 1, 2022 and won Golf Digest's Best Transformation award that year -- both architect credits are genuinely correct at different points in the course's history.
- The club's Regular Equity and Limited Golf Equity membership categories explicitly require purchasing a lot or home within the Entrada property, a documented bundled-to-homeownership mechanic confirmed on the club's own membership page.
