Park City, Utah is home to several private club communities, each with its own character, access, and real estate story. Use this map to orient yourself geographically before you visit. From Salt Lake City International Airport up I-80 to Kimball Junction, then through Promontory, Canyons Village, Park City Mountain, Main Street, Talisker Club at Empire Pass, Deer Valley, the new Deer Valley East Village expansion, Marcella, and Talisker Club at Tuhaye, you'll see how the area is laid out and where each community sits.
Talisker Club is the only private club in Park City with ski-in, ski-out access to Deer Valley Resort. Membership covers four distinct neighborhoods: Empire Pass (mountain homes and condos inside Deer Valley), Tuhaye (a Mark O'Meara golf course community outside Kamas), Red Cloud (a private outdoor recreation ranch), and the Courchevel Bistro on Main Street. Real estate ranges from $3M condos to $30M+ ski-in homes.
Promontory is the largest private club community in the Park City area, sitting on 6,400 acres above Kimball Junction. The club features two championship golf courses (a Pete Dye course and a Jack Nicklaus course), a ski lodge at Park City Mountain for members, tennis, equestrian facilities, fishing ponds, and extensive family amenities. Home styles include ranch cabins, mountain contemporaries, and estates, generally priced from $3M to $15M+.
Marcella Club is Park City's newest private golf community, located in the Jordanelle area near Deer Valley East Village. The Tom Fazio golf course opened in phases, and the club offers mountain and reservoir views, a modern clubhouse, and easier access from Salt Lake City than Empire Pass. Homesites and custom homes typically range from $2M to $10M+.
Deer Valley is a public, skier-only resort known for groomed runs, on-mountain dining, and upscale service. It is not a private club, but several private communities (Talisker Club at Empire Pass, Stein Eriksen Residences, Silver Lake) sit inside or directly connect to the resort. The Deer Valley East Village expansion is more than doubling the skiable terrain by 2026 and 2027.
Park City Mountain is the largest ski resort in the United States by skiable acreage, owned by Vail Resorts and accessed through the Epic Pass. The resort connects directly to Old Town Park City and Canyons Village. Private clubs like Promontory maintain a member ski lodge at the base for on-mountain access.
Talisker Club is ski-focused with direct Deer Valley access at Empire Pass, plus a golf community at Tuhaye. Promontory is golf-focused with two courses and broader family amenities, and it uses a shuttle system to its Park City Mountain ski lodge. Talisker is generally higher-priced at Empire Pass, while Promontory offers more home inventory at a wider price range.
Rules vary. Promontory and Talisker Club typically require property ownership within the community for full membership. Marcella Club offers non-resident and property-owner membership paths. Always confirm current bylaws and initiation fees with the club directly before making offers.
Kimball Junction is about 30 minutes from SLC airport via I-80. Empire Pass and Deer Valley are roughly 40 to 45 minutes. Tuhaye and Marcella Club near the Jordanelle are about 45 to 55 minutes. Winter storms and weekend traffic can add time, especially on Parleys Canyon.
No. Deer Valley is a public ski resort, though it limits daily ticket sales and restricts snowboarders. Several private clubs and residence clubs (Talisker at Empire Pass, Stein Eriksen Residences, St. Regis Residence Club) operate inside the resort footprint with ski-in, ski-out homes and member amenities.
East Village is a new base area on the Jordanelle side of Deer Valley, adding lifts, trails, a village core, and new lodging. It connects the existing resort to the Mayflower area and more than doubles Deer Valley's skiable terrain. Marcella Club and nearby Jordanelle developments benefit directly from improved ski access.
Whether you're buying a ski-in home at Empire Pass, a golf cabin at Promontory, or a custom homesite at Marcella, the right community depends on how you plan to use it. Contact Amelia Turbyfill to compare communities, tour properties, and understand current membership terms.
