Tee Off in Southern Utah: Major Golf Tournaments + Family-Friendly Isle 64
If you love golf as a participant or spectator, Southern Utah is turning up the excitement. Two major tournaments are driving both world-class competition and fantastic opportunities for a family getaway. Combine the action with the comfort of a vacation rental and Isle 64 becomes your ideal home base.
Major Tournaments to Know
Bank of Utah Championship: Oct. 23-26, 2025 at Black Desert Resort
This prestigious event on the PGA TOUR returns to Southern Utah’s Greater Zion region with the title sponsor “Bank of Utah.” It’s more than a tournament, it’s a premier sporting spectacle with elite players, high stakes, and spectacular red-rock backdrop. If you’re planning to watch or attend, the dates are set; the setting is stunning.
Copper Rock Championship: May 14-16, 2026 at Copper Rock Golf Course, Hurricane, UT
This is a major women’s professional event on the Epson Tour (the developmental tour for the LPGA Tour). With sweeping vistas of the Pine Valley Mountains and Hurricane cliffs, the setting is unforgettable – perfect for those who appreciate both sport and scenery.
Why Combine the Tournament with a Isle 64?
Attending these tournaments offers more than watching a great round of golf, it offers an extended experience for families, groups, and friends. Here’s why Isle 64 fits the bill:
- Space & comfort for families: With multiple bedrooms, full kitchen, outdoor spaces, family-friendly amenities and plenty of room to gather, Isle 64 means everyone stays together and enjoys their time.
- Relaxation after event-filled days: After spectating or playing, you’ll want downtime. Chill on the patio, share a home-cooked meal, watch a movie together, and wake refreshed for the next day’s action.
- Proximity to major venues and recreation: Whether you’re heading to Black Desert Resort for the Bank of Utah event, or to Copper Rock’s championship grounds, you’ll be based in a convenient location with ease of travel.
- Family memories beyond the tournament: Bring the kids, the teens, the grandparents, when tournament rounds end, explore Southern Utah’s trails, parks, and outdoor wonders together.
How to Make the Most of It
- Book early – Major tournaments mean lodging demand spikes. Secure Isle 64 as soon as possible.
- Plan around tournament days – Arrive a day early to acclimate; spend tournament mornings out and evenings relaxing at the rental.
- Mix golf watching with adventure – Kids might enjoy alternate activities (hiking, swimming, scenic drives) while adults catch a round.
- Bring gear & freedom – If you’re playing yourself (or just watching), you’ll want space for clubs, bags, maybe even a casual round before/after the main event. Isle 64 supports that.
- Family time counts – Use the stay not just as “where we sleep” but as “where we make memories”, board games, family meals, storytelling about that hole-in-one or epic birdie.
Make It a Trip to Remember
For golf lovers and families who travel together, the Southern Utah golf circuit offers world-class tournaments and the perfect backdrop for a memorable stay. The Bank of Utah Championship and Copper Rock Championship may be the headline events, but the true highlight is having a place where everyone can relax, recharge, and stay together in comfort.
At Isle 64, you’re not just booking accommodation; you’re creating an experience. Whether you’re cheering in the gallery, playing your own round, or simply sharing laughter around the dinner table after a day of competition, this is the kind of stay that makes a tournament trip about more than just golf.
