Mark O'Meara's fingerprints are all over Tuhaye, a private club set in the Wasatch Back near Kamas that opened in 2004. The 1998 Masters and Open Championship winner brought a design sensibility shaped by his playing career — strategic, scenically aware, and respectful of the land — to a site where the terrain does much of the heavy lifting. Elevation changes are dramatic, the views toward the Uinta Mountains are genuine distractions, and the routing feels earned rather than engineered.
The course plays to a par of 70, which signals something about its intentions: this is not a layout padding its scorecard with forgettable fives. The holes tend toward precision and position-play over pure power, rewarding golfers who think their way around rather than overpower it.
Kamas sits at the gateway to the Uinta-Wasatch-Cache National Forest, and that alpine context — short summers, crystalline air, mountain meadows — gives Tuhaye a seasonal quality that makes every round feel like a moment in a specific window of time. It is a place as much as a golf course.
