History
Ukus Inouye, after selling his farm, purchased land near the mouth of the American Fork Canyon with the plans for creating a horse training/riding facility.
He was approached by a group of business men with the vision of an affordable Golf/Social Club where the focus was less on the prestige of being a member and more on golf and family. Mr. Inouye invited William Neff, a golf course architect from Holliday, to look at his land and location. Mr. Neff created a vision of a superb golf course surrounded by "Club Estate Homes" utilizing the scenic location and unique layout of this fertile stretch of farmland and the Alpine Country Club Concept was born.
The club was founded and organized and chartered as a non-profit Utah corporation.
The spring of 1959 saw the opening of the front nine and the back nine a month later.
The original leased clubhouse was replaced with a "Swiss" style ranch rambler building
Alpine hosted their first Utah Open in 1970.
The addition of a large lake on the 9th hole, additions of numerous sand traps, and a lengthening of the par five second hole improved the front nine.
Well known course architect John Fought was brought in to redesign holes 11, 12 and 13.
A resort style pool complex was opened to the members with snack bar, outdoor bar facilities and expanded golfer snack shop.
Alpine welcomed PGA Tour Member Tony Finau and Champions Tour Members Bruce Summerhays, Mike Reid and Keith Clearwater.
Including modernization of bunkers, enlarging practice facilities and new cart paths.
Superintendent, Jake Ebner, is selected as Utah's Superintendent of the year for private golf courses.
