Orem

Golf in Orem

Orem is the odd case in Utah County golf: there is no golf course inside the city limits. Cascade Golf Center closed in 2013 and the land became mini golf, fields and housing — though plenty of directory sites still list it, which is why people turn up looking for a course that has not existed in over a decade.

So Orem golfers play their rounds in neighbouring cities. Public options in the valley include Timpanogos Golf Club in Provo, Fox Hollow Golf Club in American Fork and Cedar Hills Golf Club in Cedar Hills. Lessons are about ten minutes from most of Orem, at a range on the Orem–Vineyard line.

For Orem Golfers

Students from around UVU

Utah Valley University sits in Orem and is the largest university in Utah by enrollment, with a record 48,670 students in fall 2025. That produces a particular kind of golfer: young, on a budget, with an unpredictable class schedule. A $50 single lesson, a 5-pack at $40 a lesson, and 30-minute sessions that fit between classes suit that far better than a membership.

Juniors

Orem is served by Orem High, Mountain View High and Timpanogos High. If your child is trying to make a roster, that is a different conversation from casual junior lessons — practice structure, course management and playing under pressure rather than swing mechanics alone.

Practice without a home course

With no course in town, an Orem golfer's week usually splits two ways. Practice happens at a range or a putting green. Rounds happen in another city, often on a weekend. That shapes the written plan you leave with.

If you get one round a week, the plan says what to work on during that round and what to ignore. If most of your golf is range time, it says how to spend a bucket of balls so each shot has a purpose. The aim is to make the practice you already do count for more.

High school golf in Orem

Utah runs high school golf in two halves of the year: boys at most schools compete in autumn, and girls compete in spring. A team carries six players and counts its four lowest scores.

For a junior at Orem High, Mountain View or Timpanogos, that calendar matters. The months before tryouts are the time for swing changes, so they have a chance to settle before scores start to count. Once the season starts, lessons shift toward course management and scoring.

A first lesson for an Orem golfer

The drive is about ten minutes, so a 30-minute lesson fits a lunch hour or a gap between classes. Tyler sees your swing, hears how your golf week works, and names the two or three things costing you the most strokes. You leave with your written Game Plan. Most Orem students start with the 5-Lesson Package: $200, $40 a lesson.

Questions

Common Questions

Do you teach golf lessons in Orem, Utah?

Yes. Olson Golf Academy works with golfers from Orem and across Utah County. Lessons are one-on-one with Tyler Olson, a PGA Associate, at a range on the Orem–Vineyard line — about 10 minutes from Orem. Tyler confirms exactly where to meet when you book.

How much are golf lessons near Orem?

Most students start with the 5-Lesson Package: $200, which is $40 a lesson and saves $50. A single 30-minute private lesson is $50 and a 60-minute lesson is $90. Junior lessons are $40, and group clinics are $35 per player. Every price is published, no quote or phone call required.

How far is it from Orem to the lessons?

About 10 minutes by car to the range on the Orem–Vineyard line. Exact meeting details come when you book.

Do I need my own clubs?

Yes. Bring your own clubs to every lesson. If you are shopping for a set, wait until after a few lessons: a fitting then will tell you far more about what to buy than a shop can before you have swung.

Do you teach juniors and complete beginners?

Both, and they are a large part of the work. Junior lessons are $40 for 30 minutes for players 17 and under. Complete beginners need no golf shoes and no experience, just their clubs. Your first lesson is the starting point, and the 5-Lesson Package ($200) is the best value.

Is there a golf course in Orem, Utah?

No. Orem has no golf course inside its city limits. Cascade Golf Center closed in 2013, although some directories still list it. Orem golfers play in nearby cities, at public courses such as Timpanogos Golf Club in Provo, Fox Hollow Golf Club in American Fork and Cedar Hills Golf Club in Cedar Hills.

When is high school golf season for Orem schools?

In Utah, boys golf at most high schools is a fall sport and girls golf is played in the spring, under UHSAA rules. For juniors at Orem High, Mountain View or Timpanogos, it helps to start lessons a few months before tryouts so changes have time to settle.

Can a UVU student fit lessons around classes?

Usually, yes. Lessons are 30 or 60 minutes, the range is about 10 minutes from Orem, and you book the times that suit your schedule. A single 30-minute lesson is $50, or $40 a lesson in the 5-Lesson Package.
