Sky Mountain sits in the foothills north of Hurricane proper, wrapped around the Sky Mountain Golf Course (Jeff Hardin, 1992). The neighborhood is one of the older master-planned communities in Hurricane and one of the working public-access golf neighborhoods in the southern half of Washington County. The Hurricane Cliffs uplift provides the dramatic backdrop, and the course routing uses the foothill terrain for elevation changes between holes.

A 1990s golf-course neighborhood

Sky Mountain was developed in the early 1990s on the foothill bench north of Hurricane. Jeff Hardin designed the eighteen-hole course (1992) — an early Hurricane-area public-access course that predates the larger Sand Hollow Resort buildout by more than a decade. The course is comparatively walkable and family-friendly, and has been the primary public-access golf option in Hurricane proper for thirty years.

What the neighborhood is for

Sky Mountain is a settled golf-anchored neighborhood at the older end of the post-1990 Hurricane buildout. The Sky Mountain Golf Course is the working public-access course in town, distinct from the resort-style Sand Hollow Golf Course on the south side. The community is one of three Hurricane-area master-plans (with Coral Canyon in Washington and the broader Sand Hollow corridor) and the one most associated with the original 1990s wave of Hurricane growth.
