Promontory

About Promontory

Promontory is the largest and most amenity-rich private club community on the Wasatch Back. It sits northeast of Park City on roughly 6,400 acres, with two Tom Fazio-designed golf courses, a Nick Faldo-designed course, a private ski facility with slope-side clubhouse access, equestrian center, beach club, and multiple dining options.

For land buyers, Promontory offers the most variety of any club community on the Back. Lots range from sub-half-acre golf-front parcels to multi-acre sites with panoramic mountain views. Most lots include a mandatory club membership requirement that adds $85K–$150K to the effective purchase price plus annual dues.

The mandatory membership is the key thing to understand. Some lots in Promontory — particularly in older subdivisions like Promontory Ranches — do not require club membership. These command lower prices but don't include resort amenities. If you're buying a lot expecting access to the golf courses and ski facility, verify that the specific parcel carries membership.

Construction in Promontory is governed by the Promontory Design Review Committee. Architectural guidelines are specific — minimum home sizes apply by sub-neighborhood, and exterior material palettes are regulated. Build timelines typically run 18–24 months from lot purchase to occupancy.

What buyers need to know

Promontory has two layers of governance: the HOA (mandatory for all owners) and the Club (mandatory on most but not all lots). HOA dues cover road maintenance, gate staffing, and common areas. Club dues cover all resort amenities.

Always verify with the title company which obligations attach to a specific parcel. Some Promontory Ranches lots carry no club requirement. Many newer sub-neighborhoods have mandatory full-amenity club membership baked into the CC&Rs.

The Design Review Committee (DRC) must approve all new construction plans. Minimum square footage requirements vary by sub-neighborhood — some require 3,500 sq ft minimums. The DRC review typically adds 60–90 days to the permit timeline.

Short-term rental of Promontory homes is permitted subject to HOA approval and Summit County licensing — an important consideration for buyers who want rental income while they hold a lot or during construction.

Market position

Promontory sits in the sweet spot of Wasatch Back land — not as expensive as Park City proper, but with resort-quality amenities and a proven luxury market. It's the go-to recommendation for buyers who want a club community without Deer Valley prices.

Compared to Tuhaye in Wasatch County, Promontory has more amenity depth (three golf courses vs one, ski facility, equestrian) but higher price points and Summit County tax rates. Tuhaye buyers typically prioritize value; Promontory buyers prioritize amenity breadth.

Active lot inventory in Promontory has been tightening. The community is largely built out in its core sub-neighborhoods, with remaining inventory concentrated in newer phases on the community's edges.
