Glenwild
About the area
Glenwild is one of the most carefully planned private communities in the Mountain West. The developers gave Tom Fazio first-routing rights across the full 1,600 acres before a single homesite was platted—an arrangement rare even among top-tier golf communities. The result is a par-71, 7,470-yard course (from the tips) that weaves through meadows and wildlife corridors rather than around them, and that Golf Digest has ranked the best course in Utah continuously since 2003. The community totals 196 homesites, making it deliberately intimate. Roughly 95% are built out, which means resale is almost always the path to ownership. Lots range from just over half an acre to 6.7 acres, and all homes are custom-built under architectural review. The 39,000-square-foot clubhouse anchors a full-service lifestyle with fine and casual dining, a spa, a year-round heated lap pool, a family pool, a fitness center, and Camp Glenwild children's programming.

Amenities & Lifestyle
The Glenwild Golf Club and Spa is the social and recreational heart of the community. The 39,000-square-foot clubhouse delivers fine and casual dining, a full-service spa, a year-round heated lap pool, a family pool, a fitness center, a pro shop, and Camp Glenwild programming for children. Practice facilities have been newly renovated. In winter, the Glenwild Nordic Club maintains groomed cross-country ski and snowshoe trails across the preserve, giving owners a walkable outdoor amenity when the golf course is closed. The entire 1,600 acres is private and gated with 24/7 security, so the sense of quietude and separation from Park City's resort traffic is genuine. Wildlife viewing—elk herds, moose in the meadows, bald eagles and hawks overhead, and sandhill cranes along the fairways—is one of the community's most frequently cited draws.
Getting Around
Glenwild sits off Bitner Ranch Road, approximately five minutes from Interstate 80 at Exit 145—the fastest on-ramp to Salt Lake City of any Park City-area gated community. The drive to Park City's Historic Main Street is about eight miles and ten minutes via Bitner Ranch Road and SR-224. Salt Lake City International Airport is roughly 35 to 40 minutes. The three major ski resorts are all drivable: Canyons Village and Park City Mountain Resort are each about eight miles, and Deer Valley is approximately twelve. There is no community shuttle service; residents drive to all destinations.
Are Short-Term Rentals Allowed in Glenwild?
No. Glenwild's governing documents prohibit nightly rentals community-wide. This rule applies to all 196 homesites and is enforced at the community level, not just by individual HOA buildings. Buyers who plan to offset carrying costs with rental income should consider other Park City communities where nightly rentals are permitted. Glenwild is oriented toward owner-occupants and long-term leaseholders.
Golf & Club: Glenwild Golf Club and Spa
The Glenwild Golf Club and Spa is the only Tom Fazio-designed course in Utah—and among a small number anywhere where Fazio was given routing priority over the homesites. The result earned the course Golf Digest's #1 ranking in Utah every year since 2003, a streak of more than two decades, as well as a position in Golf Digest's Top 200 nationally. The course plays 7,470 yards from the tips across five tee sets at par 71. Beyond golf, the 39,000-square-foot clubhouse encompasses fine and casual dining, a spa, a year-round heated lap pool, a family pool, a fitness center, and a full pro shop. Camp Glenwild offers children's programming during the golf season, and the Glenwild Nordic Club grooms trails for cross-country skiing and snowshoeing in winter. Golf club membership is separate from HOA membership and property ownership; owning a home in Glenwild does not require joining the club. Contact the club directly for current membership availability and the fee schedule.

Glenwild Real Estate FAQ
Glenwild is one of the most expensive non-ski-in/ski-out communities in Park City. The median list price is approximately $7.09 million, or around $1,084 per square foot. Inventory is extremely thin—typically fewer than ten active listings at any time across a 196-home community that is roughly 95% built out. When a Glenwild home comes to market, it tends to attract immediate attention.
The Glenwild HOA fee is approximately $7,400 per year as of 2025. It covers 24/7 gated security, private road maintenance, landscaping within the community, and professional management. A transfer fee of 1% of the sale price applies at resale. These figures should be verified with the current management company before purchase, as HOA budgets can change annually.
Both are large private gated communities in the Snyderville Basin with golf, but they differ significantly in scale and character. Promontory spans thousands of acres with multiple golf courses, equestrian facilities, and a much larger number of homesites—it functions almost like a self-contained resort community. Glenwild is intentionally intimate: 196 homesites on 1,600 acres, one Tom Fazio course ranked #1 in Utah, and a single 39,000-square-foot clubhouse.
No. Owning a home in Glenwild does not require joining the Glenwild Golf Club, and the club membership is entirely separate from the HOA. Many residents join the club for full access to the course, spa, pools, and dining, but it is not a condition of ownership. Buyers interested in membership should contact the club directly for current availability and the fee schedule.
Wildlife viewing is one of the most frequently cited reasons buyers choose Glenwild over other Park City communities. Tom Fazio's routing was designed specifically to preserve wildlife corridors and habitat across the 1,600-acre property before any homesites were platted. Elk herds, deer, and moose move through the meadows regularly. Bald eagles, red-tailed hawks, and sandhill cranes are common on and around the golf course. Bobcats and ermine (in winter) are periodically spotted.
