Location, Location, Location. When it comes to both real estate and event planning, venue selection is critical. An ideal venue sets the stage for your event and influences the entire experience for your guests. Sand Hollow Resort offers several stunning venue selections that are the perfect choice for events of any size! Check out our checklist below to help you select the best venue for your event at Sand Hollow Resort.
1. Location
The right location for your event depends on a variety of factors, including accessibility, transportation, local attractions, weather, and ambiance. Located in Southern Utah, Sand Hollow Resort is in the epicenter of outdoor adventure! Our stunning event venues offer beautiful weather, breathtaking scenery, and a private oasis for your guests. The location of your dreams is nestled in our red rocks.
2. Date Availability
Availability is one of the first things to consider when choosing a venue. Do you have flexibility with your date or are you limited to a specific weekend? Our event staff at Sand Hollow Resort is happy to check our calendar and let you know which of our stunning venues are available on your date.
3. Capacity
Begin your venue search with a preliminary guest list or an estimated number of guests you expect to attend. Since capacity can be a limiting factor, finding the right-sized venue is crucial. At Sand Hollow Resort, our venue options range from an outdoor hidden oasis surrounded by the beautiful red rock of Southern Utah and accommodating up to 500 seated, to an intimate observation deck suitable for up to 200 guests. Our 4,000 square foot Penthouse Suite offers a panoramic plateau perfect for a wedding ceremony of up to 100, or our lush green Driving Range accommodates up to 5,000 guests.
4. Indoor or Outdoor?
Consider both indoor and outdoor options, as each lends its own unique feel to an event. The Rock Bowl, which is surrounded by towering red rocks, offers a secluded, private feel, while The Clubhouse, with unobstructed views of the grand fairways, gives off a chic and modern vibe. Consider the location, surroundings, and style of the venue to determine what suits your needs.
5. Layout
Envision the layout of your event to determine if the venue lends itself to what you have planned. For instance, if you’re looking to have dinner inside, but you also want to take full advantage of the stunning outdoor scenery, consider “The Most Beautiful Clubhouse in Utah.” Seating up to 120 guests indoors and adjoined by a covered outdoor gathering area that seats an additional 80 guests, the Clubhouse is the perfect pick for a hybrid indoor/outdoor event.
6. Catering Services
Consider your dining plans and take a look at menus and beverage options. Onsite catering makes serving guests a breeze and eliminates the need for finding caterers for your event. Our full kitchen can accommodate any culinary needs, including customized event menus. Get in contact today to discuss food options.

8. Ambiance
