ST. GEORGE, Utah — A tech-driven golf driving range is set to open soon in southwestern Utah.

The most prominent new feature along I-15 is the set of giant nets and 150-foot black poles set up for the new driving range. The area’s latest entertainment option is billed as a tech-focused driving range and will be operated by BigShots Golf.

This driving range is expected to finish construction and be open to the public in early March 2022, according to Larry Christensen, an owner of the St. George BigShots location.

The range will have two levels and 52 tee boxes in total, which could ideally accommodate six people per box, according to Christensen. The building will be around 40,000 square feet and include a private event space and a restaurant. The driving range extends out for 235 yards and is 50 yards wide.

Although St. George is known for its golf courses, BigShots will technically be the first driving-range-centric business in the city. As advertised, it will offer options traditionally driving ranges don’t, such as climate-controlled tee boxes, ball tracking software that can tell how fast and far each ball was hit, and interactive games with virtual targets.

Without question, COVID-19 has presented the world with health and economic challenges at scales, magnitudes and velocities that none of us have ever experienced or anticipated. The way the world is doing business has been drastically altered, and no one knows for certain what a “new normal” will look like or when it will come. That said, Desert Color is moving forward, with an abundance caution and optimism. Here are some items we would like you to know:

Desert Color’s primary concern is the health and safety of its employees, its many contractors and subcontractors, those who visit the development, and the general public.
Desert Color is following local, state and national policies and procedures, like “social distancing,” to help prevent the virus from spreading.
Desert Color has a deep and abiding commitment to environmental, financial and social sustainability. As the project continues to move forward, Desert Color will be checking and assessing its development activities and investments to ensure that the project achieves positive long-term outcomes for its stakeholders and the community.
Desert Color partners are well positioned and have accounted for market volatility in the longevity of the development. We are fully confident in our ability to bring the full vision of Desert Color to life.

To date, Desert Color has been fortunate. We haven’t seen a crippling impact to the overall project. We continue to make investments in the project. Homes are being built and sold. We invite you to reach out to our builders and our commercial partners. They are engaging with the public in accordance with appropriate “social distancing” measures and would be delighted to hear from you. Come what may, we are not going away. Desert Color is more than just a project. We are members of the southern Utah family, and we are committed to help the family move through and beyond the challenges and frustrations that, no doubt, await us. Be safe, and we hope you will join us at Desert Color.
