Homestead in Midway, Utah, has hired architect and 1977 U.S. Amateur champion John Fought to renovate its golf course as part of a larger renovation to the entire resort. Fought has broken ground on the course, which is expected to reopen in summer of 2027.

Fought, who went on to win twice on the PGA Tour in 1979, attended Brigham Young University in nearby Provo, Utah. He has worked on dozens of courses, and his original designs include the highly-regarded Sand Hollow in Hurricane, Utah.

Architect and former PGA Tour player John Fought is renovating the golf course at Homestead in Midway, Utah.

Bruce Summerhays originally designed Homestead, and the course opened in 1990. Fought will redesign all the greens, fairways, bunkers and tees. The new layout will focus on improved playability and sustainability, and a new irrigation system will be installed. Of note, the new layout will feature a double green for Nos. 9 and 18. An 18-hole putting course also will be installed. Troon manages the golf operations at Homestead.

Renovations to the resort began in 2019 and are ongoing. Golfers can expect a new clubhouse with three simulators, an enhanced pro shop, lounge spaces, a new fitness center and improved locker rooms. In the next year, four indoor pickleball courts will be opened along with a new spa and an activity center. Homestead offers memberships and operates its golf as a semi-private club open to resort guests.
