Green Springs sits on the southeast side of Washington City, along the Virgin River corridor and centered on the Green Spring Golf Course. The neighborhood is one of the older golf-anchored communities in Washington County — the course opened in 1989, predating the Coral Canyon (2003) and Sand Hollow (2008) buildouts by more than a decade — and is now a settled mid-tier residential area with mature landscaping and established trees.
A 1989 golf course on the older side of town
Green Spring Golf Course opened in 1989 as one of the early public-access daily-fee courses in Washington County. William Howard Neff designed the eighteen-hole course on a parcel of riverfront ground southeast of the original Washington townsite. The course routes through wetland and riparian terrain along the river, with several holes that cross or parallel the Virgin River channel. The course has been continuously operating for more than thirty years and is one of the more played public-access courses in the county.
A settled residential character
The residential community around the course built out gradually through the 1990s and 2000s as Washington City began its post-2000 growth wave. Most of the housing stock is single-family stucco-and-tile from that two-decade window, with mature landscaping that distinguishes the neighborhood from the post-2010 master-plans further out. The community has held a stable residential character through the broader Washington City buildout that has reshaped the foothills and bench ground further north.
A working golf-and-residential pattern
Green Springs predates the integrated master-plan template that defines later Washington County developments. The course and the residential community developed alongside each other rather than as a single coordinated build-out, and the neighborhood pattern reflects that — the residential parcels surround the course but are not as tightly integrated as in the Coral Canyon model. The result is a more settled, less-curated neighborhood that reads as an established mid-tier community rather than a luxury master-plan.
What the neighborhood is for
Green Springs is the older golf-anchored neighborhood in Washington City — settled, mid-tier, and one of the working public-access golf locations in the county. The course sits along the Virgin River and is part of the local-resident golf rotation. The community is one of three Washington City golf neighborhoods (with Coral Canyon north of I-15 and Sienna Hills' adjacent foothill ground) and the one with the longest continuous operating history.
