What if your mountain home let you trade ski days and tee times in the same week, with lake views as your backdrop? If you are weighing a second home or investment near Park City, Tuhaye in Wasatch County pairs private golf, year‑round club life, and access to Deer Valley and Main Street. In this guide, you will learn how the Talisker Club model works, what the golf and amenities feel like, how real estate is structured, and the key costs and questions to confirm before you buy. Let’s dive in.
Golf at Tuhaye: design, play, practice
Tuhaye’s championship course is a Mark O’Meara signature 18 that stretches across elevated terrain above the Jordanelle Reservoir. Club materials present it as the only all‑bentgrass course in the immediate region, giving you consistent surfaces from tee to green with mountain views throughout. Multiple tee boxes offer a wide yardage range from roughly 5,100 yards forward to about 7,700 to 7,800 yards at the tips, depending on the scorecard set. You will also find full practice facilities and short‑course or academy elements for instruction and family play. Explore the course and lifestyle overview.
Altitude adds to the experience. The ball flies farther, and the routing offers options for a broad mix of abilities, which matters if you or your guests play infrequently. Tuhaye is also frequently cited in rankings, with local coverage noting Golfweek placements among Utah’s top private courses. See the Park Record’s report on Tuhaye’s recognition.
Talisker Club life: four clubs, one membership
Tuhaye is part of Talisker Club, which frames its lifestyle around four venues with a single membership: the Tuhaye country club, the Tower Club at Empire Pass for ski‑in and ski‑out access, a Main Street presence at Courchevel Bistro with a private lounge, and The Outpost for high‑alpine backcountry experiences. That multi‑venue access is a central reason many buyers choose Tuhaye. Learn more about Talisker Club’s four‑season model.
On site at Tuhaye, you will find a full clubhouse with spa and fitness, dining, a resort‑style family pool with slide, lap pool and hot tubs, tennis and pickleball courts, and kids’ programming. For families, the centerpiece is Base Camp, an 18,000‑square‑foot hub with casual dining, simulators, bowling, and multipurpose spaces that keep everyone engaged well beyond the golf course. Preview the Base Camp and club lifestyle highlights.
Talisker’s public materials note that amenities are privately owned and operated and that membership and membership fees may be mandatory for certain products. Initiation and dues details are provided directly by the club during a transaction, so plan to review the current membership packet during due diligence.
Real estate at Tuhaye: homes and homesites
Tuhaye’s neighborhoods include custom single‑family estates, cabin‑style residences, semi‑custom clusters, and a limited collection of townhome projects. You will see established enclaves such as Cougar Moon, Dancing Sun, Whispering Hawk, Morningstar, Silent Creek, and Lone Peak, plus newer offerings.
Talisker’s public marketing often references custom homesites from roughly the one‑million‑dollar range and residences from around three million dollars. Use those as directional cues and confirm active pricing through current listings and the sales office. Select enclaves offer larger, view‑driven parcels, while many standard neighborhoods range from about 0.3 to 3 or more acres. Because some developer pages and HOA notes reference different lot caps by subarea, it is best to look at specific plats and design guidelines for your target homesite.
HOA costs and design review
Ownership at Tuhaye includes a master HOA. The HOA publishes an annual assessment, shown at 2,565 dollars in the 2025 to 2026 bulletin. Review the current year in the HOA’s annual assessment PDF. At closing, a reinvestment fee of 1 percent of the gross purchase price is payable to the HOA. This transfer fee supports operating and capital needs and should be part of your upfront budgeting. See the HOA’s transfer fee explanation.
If you plan to build or renovate, Tuhaye maintains an Architectural Review Committee and Design Guidelines. The ARC process typically includes concept, preliminary, and final review phases with construction monitoring. This structure helps protect neighborhood quality but affects timelines and carrying costs, so factor the review calendar into your plan. Read the ARC process overview.
Membership and buying practicalities
Membership terms vary by product and resale. Some developer offerings include initiation or activation in the purchase, while certain resale properties may require a separate transfer or new initiation. Always confirm whether a specific home or homesite includes a transferable or assigned membership. The club does not publish a single public fee schedule, so you should request the current membership packet, including initiation type, dues, and policies on transfers, guests, carts, storage, and lockers, during your offer and due diligence.
Clubs typically reserve approval rights for membership applications and transfers. Your timeline may include club approval, so align that step with financing and closing milestones.

Buyer diligence checklist
Use this quick checklist to make a confident decision:
- Request the Talisker Club membership packet for the specific property. Confirm whether initiation is included, the initiation type, dues, transfer rules, and guest policies.
- Review HOA documents. Verify the current annual assessment and the 1 percent reinvestment fee at closing using the published PDFs. Ask for the current budget and reserve study.
- If building, map the ARC process. Confirm submittal phases, timeline, builder approval requirements, and construction monitoring.
- Clarify rental rules. Review club and HOA restrictions if you plan to offset costs with rentals.
- Ask for comps that separate real estate value from any membership initiation conveyed in the sale so you can see the premium tied to membership.
