Tuhaye

About Tuhaye

Tuhaye is Wasatch County's private golf community, and it's most commonly compared to Promontory in Summit County. The comparison is useful: both are gated private club communities centered on golf, both require club membership on lot purchases, and both offer custom lot ownership with significant amenity packages.

The differences matter for the right buyer. Tuhaye has one golf course (the Mark O'Meara-designed Tuhaye Golf Club) versus Promontory's multiple courses. Tuhaye is in Wasatch County, which carries lower property tax rates than Summit County. And Tuhaye's lot inventory is smaller and tighter — fewer options but sometimes a more exclusive feel.

The Tuhaye Golf Club is a legitimate private course — not a resort course, not a municipal course with a private gate. O'Meara designed it specifically for the terrain, and the course flows through the Heber Valley with mountain views on nearly every hole.

Club membership at Tuhaye includes golf, pool, fitness, and clubhouse dining. The initiation fee and annual dues structure differs from Promontory — get current numbers from the club directly, as they adjust periodically.

What buyers need to know

Tuhaye has mandatory club membership for all lot owners — this is embedded in the CC&Rs and cannot be waived. Membership includes golf, amenities, and clubhouse access. Initiation fees and annual dues should be confirmed directly with the Tuhaye Golf Club.

The Tuhaye HOA governs community standards, road maintenance, and gate security separately from the club. Both the HOA and club fees are ongoing obligations for lot owners.

Wasatch County property taxes are meaningfully lower than Summit County — a real dollar advantage over Promontory for buyers who are comparing the two communities on a total cost of ownership basis.

Architectural standards within Tuhaye are enforced by the community's design review process. Plans for new construction must be approved before permits are issued.

Market position

The Promontory vs Tuhaye comparison comes up constantly for buyers considering private golf community lots. The short version: Promontory has more amenity depth and more lot options; Tuhaye has lower tax rates and a more intimate community scale.

From a value standpoint, Tuhaye lots have historically been priced below comparable Promontory lots, reflecting the amenity difference and the longer drive from Park City. Whether that discount is appropriate or represents an opportunity depends on what the buyer values.

Tuhaye's inventory is tight — only about 19 active lots at any given time. When the right lot comes available here, buyers who've done their research ahead of time are better positioned.
