Logan Country Club – Gene Bates Renovation
Logan Country Club, founded in 1932, is one of the oldest golf courses in the State of Utah and draws on a storied history spanning decades. Those decades of time can build an impressive aura of service to the community, but it can also suffer from the ravages of time, as course conditions and agronomic growth can adversely affect playability and the original vistas over the Wasatch National Forest and Mountains. A big reveal came in 2024 at the end of the remodel, when Logan Country Club was once again selected to host the State Amateur Championships. This tournament is the longest-running State Amateur in the country and is the pinnacle event for Utah State golf. Gene is no stranger to building courses worthy of hosting the Utah State Amateur, as this is his sixth Utah Amateur tournament held at one of his courses.
