Dragonfly
The Story
Dragonfly began in May 2021 when Curtis Clements pitched Lehi City Council for a disc golf course on a 40-acre wetland property near Utah Lake, originally proposed as "Spring Creek Disc Golf Course." With 131 survey respondents and 76 volunteers offering to install baskets, the council approved a roughly $5K city match. Councilmember Paul Hancock championed the project despite initial opposition from Parks staff.
The first workday was July 31, 2021. The first 9 holes were playable within 1-2 months. Ten baskets were installed by November 8, 2021, and the full 18-hole layout was completed by April 30, 2022. Concrete tee pads followed on March 8, 2023, funded in part by a $10,000 UORG mini grant. Total project expenditures reached $45,170 — with $20,699 in volunteer labor (660 person-hours) and substantial Lehi City in-kind contributions.
The course's natural advantage is its water table, sitting just 2 feet underground. Grass grows continuously without irrigation, though this also means summer mosquitoes and tall grass have historically hurt ratings. A city-funded seasonal maintenance crew starting in August 2024 transformed conditions — the UDisc rating recovered from ~3.8 to 4.2+, and 2025 rounds jumped 47% year-over-year.
In October 2025, Dragonfly was voted into the USWDGC 2026 championship venue rotation, replacing River Bottoms. The course is now included in Lehi's Master Park Plan as a formal city park, unlocking ongoing municipal funding. An estimated 7,000+ lifetime volunteer hours ($233,870 at Utah's volunteer rate) have been donated to build and maintain this course.

What Players Say
Course is awesome! If you played it in 2024 when it was overgrown... time to come back. It's cleaned up and great!!
Fantastic shot shapes that reward technical lines. The groomed fairways make the course feel polished. Every course should have these tees and signage.
Best winter course in Utah Valley, no question. Requires multiple shot shapes, and even encourages creative lines often. Now that the city has structured a regular maintenance program, the course looks incredible!
This is my favorite course in the area. You need all your shots with a good mix of distances. When upkeep is done it's the best course in Utah county.
A proper disc golf course. Fair but punishing fairways. If it's your first time, go find every hole. There are lots of blind shots that the signs don't prepare you for.
Maintenance
Lehi City Parks Department handles mowing through a team of four authorized operators: Colby Zimmerman, Aaron Prestgard, Ken Oetker, and Austin Lott, with weekly mowing during the growing season. Colby Zimmerman became a seasonal Lehi city employee specifically to operate mowing equipment at Dragonfly. ElevateUT provides volunteer support for disc-golf-specific work — brush clearing, seeding, OB stake installation, and championship prep. Nick Jennings serves as Course TD and coordinates with Lehi Parks on layout changes and infrastructure.
