The Black Desert Championship is underway over in Utah this week as the PGA Tour makes a return to the state for the first time in over half a century.

The PGA Tour event gives a number of players who might not normally be in contention the chance to earn some much-needed ranking points and money ahead of 2025.

The course itself is hosted on the Black Desert Resort in Ivins and should players do well, they will get points towards their FedEx Cup efforts as well.

Naturally, the surroundings of the course have caused a bit of intrigue and like many PGA Tour courses, golfers have been left wondering if they can indeed play the course.

Luckily, for a pretty penny anyway, the average Joe can indeed rock up to Black Desert for a round.

Black Desert Golf Course

The course itself sits at over 7500 yards and is actually surrounded by a lava field, giving it a unique feel and experience.

A tough track for anyone, Black Desert is a par 72 with four par fives included, with two just shy of the 600 yard mark.

There are also three tricky par threes, meaning things can go south quickly for anyone.

Black Desert is a public course and they advertise both individual and group tee-times, as well as advanced bookings for societies and larger groups.

How much is a membership at Black Desert?

Given it’s status now as a PGA and LPGA quality course, if memberships do come up, you can imagine the cost will be into the thousands of dollars.
