Tuhaye sits on 2,200 acres above Jordanelle Reservoir, ten minutes from Park City and fifteen from Heber City. It's a private master-planned community tied into the Talisker Club network, with a Mark O'Meara-designed golf course and member access to Empire Pass above Park City Mountain. If you're considering a home here, this is a plain-English guide to how the community works, what you're actually buying, and how Tuhaye compares to Heber Valley's other private clubs.
Tuhaye is a master-planned residential community developed by Talisker Corporation, the same developer behind Empire Pass and the Tower Club in Park City. Land planning started in the mid-2000s, with the golf course completed and first homes delivered around 2008.
The land sits on the east flank of Jordanelle Reservoir, with meadows, aspens, and pine forest spread across steep elevation changes. Home sites range from golf-course frontage to ridge lots with direct Deer Valley and Park City Mountain views. Terrain variety is wider than at Red Ledges or Promontory — some Tuhaye lots are essentially on flat meadows, others are carved into the hillside with significant grading.
The community gate is off Browns Canyon Road, accessed via US-40 from either Heber City (to the south) or Park City (to the north). Plan for a 10-to-15-minute drive to most dining and services in either direction.
Tuhaye inventory generally falls into three categories.
Undeveloped lots ranging from roughly 0.5 to 3+ acres. Architectural review through the Tuhaye Design Review Committee is mandatory. Expect an 18-to-30-month timeline from lot purchase to move-in. Build costs in 2026 are running $700–$1,100 per finished square foot for high-end custom work.
Single-family homes built by the original owner or a second owner. Size, finish, and age vary dramatically. Some are 3-bedroom retreats; others are 8-bedroom estates with wine cellars and multiple outdoor living zones. Due diligence on the builder, warranty, and HOA compliance is essential.
The "lock-and-leave" category — smaller cabin-style residences designed for second-home owners who want minimal maintenance. Shared open space, simpler mechanicals, typically 2,500 to 3,800 square feet. Strong appeal for second-home buyers who spend 4 to 8 weeks a year in Utah.
Tuhaye homeownership and Talisker Club membership are legally separate. You can own a home in Tuhaye without joining the club, though most owners do. The membership is what gives you access to the amenities that make Tuhaye distinct from a standalone subdivision.
Initiation fees, monthly dues, and the various membership tiers (social, golf, full) are set by Talisker and change periodically. They aren't published publicly. Before making an offer on a Tuhaye property, request the current membership matrix through your agent so you can model the full cost of ownership — not just the mortgage and HOA dues.
Important: Club structures and fees at private communities like Tuhaye can change. The figures in a three-year-old blog post or a Zillow description may no longer be accurate. Always request a current Talisker Club membership packet and HOA disclosure before any offer.
These are the three private master-planned golf communities most commonly considered by Heber Valley and Park City buyers at the higher end.
| Tuhaye | Red Ledges | Promontory | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Location | Above Jordanelle, 10 min to Park City | Heber City edge, 20 min to Park City | North of Park City, 15 min to downtown |
| Golf Designer | Mark O'Meara (18 holes) | Jack Nicklaus Signature (18 holes) | Pete Dye + Jack Nicklaus (two courses) |
| Ski Access | Talisker Club at Empire Pass | Private ski concierge to Deer Valley | Private ski lounge at Park City Mountain |
| Typical Home Entry | $3M+ | $2M+ | $3.5M+ |
| Club Required? | No, but most owners join | No, but most owners join | Yes, mandatory at purchase |
| Short-Term Rentals | Restricted | Restricted | Not permitted |
The right fit depends on buyer priorities — golf preference, ski destination, proximity to Park City's dining and airport access, and club style. All three are credible purchases; none is categorically "better."
Tuhaye sits on the ridge above Jordanelle Reservoir in Heber Valley, Utah, roughly 10 minutes from downtown Park City and 15 minutes from Heber City. The community spans approximately 2,200 acres on the east side of Jordanelle, with Deer Valley and Park City Mountain visible across the water.
Tuhaye is part of Talisker Club, a multi-venue private club that includes the Tuhaye golf course (designed by Mark O'Meara), access to Empire Pass, and a mountain clubhouse. Membership is separate from Tuhaye property ownership — you can own a home here without joining, though most owners do. Specific initiation and dues figures are set by Talisker, change periodically, and aren't published publicly. Request a current membership packet through a Realtor before making an offer.
As of 2026, Tuhaye homesite lots range from roughly $800K to $3M+ depending on size, view, and golf or ridge exposure. Completed custom homes start in the low $3M range and extend well beyond $10M for larger estates. Courant Club Homes — the smaller lock-and-leave cabin-style residences — typically range from $2M to $4M. Pricing and inventory shift with the market; verify current figures before offering.
Both are private master-planned golf communities in Heber Valley, but they're distinct. Tuhaye is closer to Park City and tied into the Talisker Club network with Empire Pass access; its golf course is a Mark O'Meara design. Red Ledges is closer to Heber City, has a Jack Nicklaus signature golf course, and its own private club structure. Tuhaye leans toward the Park City-adjacent buyer; Red Ledges attracts a broader Wasatch Back demographic. Price points and membership structures differ meaningfully.
Tuhaye's CC&Rs restrict short-term rentals. Nightly rental of homes is generally not permitted, with specific rules varying by property type and club policy. Long-term rentals are allowed under certain conditions. If rental income is part of your purchase thesis, Tuhaye is likely not the right community — consult current CC&Rs and HOA rules before assuming.
Plan for 18 to 30 months from lot purchase to occupancy. Design review through the Tuhaye Design Review Committee, architectural approvals, and the build itself all contribute to the timeline. Fast-tracking a build is possible but uncommon — the community's standards are specific and the process rewards patience.
If you're weighing Tuhaye against Red Ledges, Promontory, or a non-club Park City property, let's talk through the specific trade-offs for your situation. I'll pull current inventory, recent closings, and walk you through the membership math before you commit to a showing.
