Jeremy Ranch's Golf Course and I-80 Bridges Both Hit Their Big Moments in 2027

Two projects reshaped Jeremy Ranch in 2026. The Arnold Palmer-designed golf course closed in April for a full renovation. In August, UDOT started replacing the I-80 bridges at the Jeremy Ranch interchange. In early October, both projects are at a similar point. Most of the heavy building is done or underway, and the moments people will actually feel are scheduled for the same stretch of 2027.

On the course, that moment is the reopening. On the bridges, it's up to two weekends when I-80 closes completely. So this fall is less disruptive than spring will be for both. Knowing the timeline helps when you plan winter routines and next year's calendar.

The Greens Are Sodded, and the Season Starts in 2027

When KPCW reported the closure in January, general manager Brian Wright set a goal of finishing the work by Oct. 31. That date was always a construction target, not an opening day. The club's own recap of weeks 25 through 28, posted Oct. 3, says the fairways just got another round of seed while the turf grows in "for the 2027 season." The club hasn't announced a firm 2027 opening date.

The milestone came in week 27. The club calls it "what may have been the biggest milestone of the entire 2026 renovation." The No. 17 green got its sod early that week. No. 13, the last green left, followed after final shaping and approval, so all 18 greens now have grass. The new putting surfaces are 007 XL bentgrass. Fairways and surrounds are being converted to rye, part of a $7.5 million project led by designer Brandon Johnson, who used to work for the Arnold Palmer Design Group.

The remaining work is finishing work. In week 28, crews built bunkers on holes 1, 2, 3, 14 and 15. They also started new rock walls at the No. 4 tee, replacing the old railroad ties. Mowers are already back on parts of the course as the new grass matures. For the rest of the year, the main job is letting the new grass establish.

The clubhouse kitchen kept running through the closure. The club advertises year-round dining and a fall menu for 2026. Dining is open to social members, and guests can come with a member.

How the Front Nine Will Play Differently

The 18-hole routing hasn't changed. The club's renovation plan describes changes to each hole, and the front nine and early back nine show the main ideas. Several cart paths are gone, the creek is easier to see, and a few holes will play longer.

• No. 2: A new back tee brings the pond into play. The pond edge has been reshaped and extended, and there's a new fairway bunker.
• No. 6: A removed cart path widens the fairway and opens up the creek bank, and the green extends slightly toward the creek.
• No. 7: The cart path on the left is gone, and two green locations are larger.
• No. 8: The approach and the right side of the green extend toward the creek, and the front greenside bunker is smaller.
• No. 9: New back and forward tees, a wider layup area and more pin locations on the green.
• No. 10: With the hillside cart path on the left removed, the fairway widens slightly into the native rough.

There was also work underground that golfers won't see. The Snyderville Basin Water Reclamation District used the closure to replace about 750 feet of sewer line near hole 2 and 1,650 feet near hole 5. The district's general manager, Mike Luers, explained the timing on KPCW in January:

"That gives us an opportunity to get into that golf course and replace line and rehabilitate a fair number of feet of wastewater lines, to the tune of almost a million dollars."

He said digging up the pipes cost less than lining them, and some lines were moved to spots that will be easier to maintain later. Because the course was already torn up, the sewer work could be done without disrupting play in a later season.

The Bridge Project Saves Its Biggest Disruption for Spring

The I-80 work is set up the same way, with the most disruptive work left for last. UDOT is using Accelerated Bridge Construction. Crews build the new eastbound and westbound bridges next to the old ones, then remove the old bridges and slide the new ones into place during short freeway closures. TownLift reports those closures will be up to two full weekends at Jeremy Ranch in spring 2027, with exact dates to come closer to the time.

The project already had a delay. Work started in August, then stopped for about a month so utility companies could relocate their lines. During that pause, traffic control came down and all lanes of Homestead Road reopened. KPCW reported on Sept. 10 that construction had restarted, and Homestead Road went back to one lane in each direction. Work runs weekdays from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m., with expected noise, dust and vibration for people nearby.

The Homestead Road trail is still open, but it has moved. For now, trail users walk and ride on the road itself, separated from cars by barrels. UDOT's project page says this setup lasts through October. After that, the trail moves to a second temporary route for the rest of the project, and UDOT hasn't announced where that will be. In September, TownLift said the on-road setup would last about two weeks. UDOT's newer timeline is longer.

The end date has moved around too. UDOT now says the project will finish in late summer 2027, while an August TownLift story said work would continue through the end of 2027.

Both Projects on One Timeline

The two schedules meet in 2027. The renovated course is being prepared for its first season in the same year that I-80 shuts down at the interchange for the bridge slides. When UDOT announces those weekend dates, they'll matter for anything planned that spring, whether a Salt Lake City airport run or an early tee time.

Errands Across the Interchange

Until then, the most common trip through the work zone is the short drive to the Pinebrook shopping center at the exit. TownLift's construction coverage mentions general delays on Homestead Road but no closures at any business.

1. Macey's Market, 3151 Kilby Road in Quarry Village, is open 6 a.m. to 11 p.m. Monday through Saturday and 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. Sunday, and has a Starbucks in the store.
2. Billy Blanco's, 8208 Gorgoza Pines Road, serves burgers and tacos and offers takeout and delivery.
3. O'Shucks, Ahh Sushi and b&D's share one Pinebrook location just off I-80. The operator lists daily breakfast and sushi, plus outdoor music on Tuesdays and Fridays.
4. Movement Elevated, a Pilates and yoga studio at 3156 Quarry Road, Suite M, opened in November 2025 in the former Tadasana Yoga Studio space.
5. Ace Hardware is part of the same retail center.

The center may get bigger. A June 2025 proposal would add two retail and office buildings and a shared green space at Quarry Village, though commissioners said the new spaces wouldn't be built for restaurants.

Trail Loops Away From Homestead Road

The fall trail options near Jeremy Ranch don't go through the construction zone. Basin Recreation lists 36 miles of hiking, biking and running trails in the Glenwild system. The Park City Trails guide places the Bad Apple Trailhead behind Burt Brothers on Rasmussen Road and lists Spring Creek and East Canyon Creek as other ways in.

Across the interstate, the Toll Canyon trails connect to the Summit Park and Discovery trails. There's no parking inside Toll Canyon itself, so Basin Recreation directs users to the Park View, Short Stack or Discovery trailheads. Check Basin Recreation's current conditions before you go, since shoulder-season trails change from week to week.

Neither the bridge closure weekends nor the course's opening day has a date yet.
