Golfing at Glenwild in Park City

Daniel J. Mannix has served as an executive with a leading Utah organization since 1986. He maintains a number of personal interests away from work. Daniel J. Mannix is especially fond of reading and playing golf.

Utah is home to a number of quality golf courses, including the course at Glenwild Golf Club in Park City. A Tom Fazio creation circa 2001, the course has been ranked as the No. 182 course in the United States for the 2021-2022 golf season. It is set among a community of homes that were built following the course’s construction, which prompted Fazio to pursue a number of unique design concepts.

For example, several of the course’s 18 holes are clustered together to maximize the available space. Similarly, Fazio did not shy away from the borders of his course, with some holes built directly alongside scenic yet challenging irrigation lakes. These lakes are linked by a system of channels and small waterfalls, providing the course with a distinctive atmosphere.

Fazio was very careful with tree placement while designing the course at Glenwild. He used trees to help golfers gauge distance and define targets along the fairway, but ensured there were not so many as to take away from the views of the surrounding Wasatch mountain range. The course previously ranked No. 188 in the country, and has ranked as high as No. 125.
