How much does it cost to stay at Black Desert Resort?

The PGA Tour makes its first stop in Utah in more than 60 years this week with a tournament at an upscale resort among the red rocks outside St. George.

The inaugural Black Desert Championship presented by Greater Zion will be held at the new Black Desert Resort in Ivins, Washington County, starting Thursday and running through Sunday, with a total prize pool of $7.5 million. Located in a lava field surrounded by vermilion cliffs, the resort opened in May 2023 with 148 hotel rooms, 299 resort residences, spa and wellness center, restaurants and a Tom Weiskopf-designed golf course.

Black Desert will also host an LPGA Tour event next May. It is only the second venue in the country to host events from both tours annually. Tiburon Golf Club in Florida is the other.

The resort's website touts it as a “hidden gem” where “luxury and nature merge,” with the “simple message taken very seriously: 'Remarkable within reach'.”

So how accessible is it for people who want to stay and play there?

During the resort's “preview period” through March 2025, rates will be lower than after that date.

A one-night Championship Stay and Play Package, which includes one round of golf per person per night, cart fees, on-course food and non-alcoholic beverages, costs $820 to $1,658, depending on room type and size.

Without the golf package, rooms range from $244 to $1,176 per night, again depending on the room type.

According to the website, Black Desert is also offering Utah residents room rates starting at $199 per night through March 2025, as well as a $50 resort credit at all branches.

A round of golf as a non-guest costs $281. Non-resort guests can only book a tee time 30 days in advance. There is also a tee time waiting list on the website that sends notifications of available times.
