Talisker Club is a private membership club with four venues across the greater Park City area: Tuhaye in the Jordanelle corridor, the Tower Club at Empire Pass within Deer Valley Resort, a Main Street clubhouse in downtown Park City, and The Outpost, the club's backcountry venue. One membership connects all four, combining ski-in/ski-out access at Deer Valley, championship golf at Tuhaye, private dining on Main Street, and year-round outdoor programming.
For buyers evaluating ski-in/ski-out properties or Park City golf communities, Talisker Club represents a rare multi-venue model. In some parts of the club's communities, membership is tied directly to the real estate purchase; in others, it is held separately. Understanding how the club is structured, what membership costs, and where membership is actually required is essential before making an offer.

Talisker Club Overview
Talisker Club was developed around the concept of a multi-destination membership. The four venues each serve a distinct role. Tuhaye anchors the golf and community side, built around a Mark O'Meara championship course roughly 15 minutes from Park City. The Tower Club at Empire Pass provides ski-in/ski-out access to Deer Valley's upper mountain. The Main Street clubhouse, set in a historic building in downtown Park City, houses Courchevel Bistro and a private member lounge. The Outpost delivers guided backcountry experiences in the terrain surrounding the club.
Membership works differently depending on where you buy. On Tuhaye developer inventory and at the Residences at the Tower, membership is a required part of the purchase. Across most other Empire Pass buildings, membership is available but not automatic. That distinction matters, and it is covered in detail below.
Who Is Required to Join Talisker Club
This is the most common point of confusion for buyers, so it deserves its own section.
- Tuhaye developer inventory: Membership is generally mandatory, and the initiation fee is built into the offering price.
- Residences at the Tower: Membership is mandatory. This is the only Empire Pass building where the club requirement attaches to every purchase.
- Other Empire Pass neighborhoods (Arrowleaf, Montage Residences, Nakoma, Flagstaff, and similar): Membership is not automatic with purchase. Some owners hold membership separately when the club has availability, and some properties trade without it.
The practical takeaway: on a resale in most of Empire Pass, whether membership transfers, whether it can be acquired, and what that costs are deal-specific questions. They should be answered in writing before you go under contract, not after.
Talisker Club Amenities
Golf
Tuhaye is home to both of the club's courses. The Mark O'Meara championship 18 offers elevation changes, mountain views, and a design that rewards precision over power. The Ridge, a 9-hole par-3 course co-designed by O'Meara, sits alongside it and gives members a faster, more casual option for practice, evenings, and junior play. Both courses are member-only and operate on a private schedule that keeps pace of play controlled. Golfweek has ranked the championship course No. 1 in Utah, and Golf Digest's 2025-26 Best in State list places it seventh.
Skiing at the Tower Club
The Tower Club at Empire Pass is the ski centerpiece of Talisker membership. Located within Deer Valley Resort, the club provides members with ski-in/ski-out access, private locker facilities, on-mountain dining, a spa, and concierge services. Deer Valley's commitment to grooming, ski-only terrain, and limited daily ticket sales makes this access particularly valuable for buyers who prioritize quality of skiing over volume.
Main Street Clubhouse and Dining
Courchevel Bistro, the club's French-inspired restaurant, operates from a historic building on Park City's Main Street alongside a private member lounge. The Main Street venue gives members a downtown base for dinner, après-ski, and events without leaving the club environment. Additional dining operates at the Tuhaye clubhouse and on-mountain at the Tower Club.
The Outpost
The Outpost is the club's dedicated adventure venue, supporting guided backcountry programming year-round. It extends the membership beyond the clubhouse settings into the surrounding terrain.
Base Camp at Tuhaye
Base Camp is the club's activity hub at Tuhaye, with bowling, golf simulators, pickleball and basketball, a maker space, and casual dining. It serves as the community's day-to-day social center, and club programming runs through it year-round. The Wildstar Kids Club adds structured programming for younger members.
Wellness and Fitness
The Elevate Spa at Tuhaye and the spa at the Tower Club anchor the wellness side of the membership. The fitness facilities include cardio equipment, weight training, a yoga studio, and a heated outdoor lap pool, with structured wellness programming available year-round.
Outdoor Recreation and What Is Coming
Members have access to guided hiking, mountain biking, fly fishing, and horseback riding, with regular excursions organized through the year. A member shuttle connects the venues. Two additions are on the club's stated timeline: Hot Creek Cabin, an on-mountain venue off Bandana between Red Cloud and the Montage area, targeted for winter 2026, and Adventure Camp at Tuhaye, with climbing, a fishing pond, and tubing, targeted for summer 2026. Confirm current status with the club, as opening dates can move.
Talisker Club Membership and Fees
The figures below reflect publicly available fee information as of August 2026. Talisker Club does not publish a fee schedule; dues have moved upward in recent years, and exact numbers change. Confirm every figure with Member Services before relying on it in a transaction.
Membership Costs
- Initiation Fee: $200,000, typically included in the offering price on Tuhaye developer inventory
- Monthly Dues: approximately $2,172 per month (roughly $26,000 per year) based on 2026 fee information.
- Membership Re-issuance Fee: 20% of the initiation fee
- Equity Structure: Several brokerage sources describe the initiation deposit as 80% refundable on resale. If accurate, that materially changes the net cost of membership, so confirm the current equity and refund terms directly with the club.
Homeowner's Association (Tuhaye)
- Tuhaye HOA Dues: $2,565 annually, covering security, common areas, private roads, and gated entrances
- HOA Transfer Fee: 1% of the property purchase price
Guest and Golf Fees
Unaccompanied guest rounds run $395, member cart fees run in the $25 to $30 range for 18 holes, and the club maintains a full schedule of guest, cart, storage, and caddie fees that adjusts seasonally. Rather than publish a line-item schedule that goes stale, the working guidance is simple: request the current club tariff before budgeting guest play or storage costs.
Club Size and Governance
The membership has been reported at roughly 895 members against a cap of 950, which is part of why access rules on non-mandatory Empire Pass purchases depend on availability. The club has operated under developer ownership, with a transition to member governance discussed around 2026. Ask the club to confirm current governance status, as it affects how fees and rules are set going forward.
Empire Pass Real Estate
Empire Pass sits at the upper elevations of Deer Valley Resort and is one of the most concentrated areas of ski-in/ski-out real estate in Utah. The community includes single-family homes, townhomes, and condominiums across several neighborhoods. As of mid-2026, active inventory generally runs from the mid-$4 millions for smaller condominiums up through the mid-teens for Tower product, with a recent median list price around $7 million. Past sales at the top of the community have reached above $30 million, so the ceiling is real, but it is thin.
Properties at Empire Pass are designed to maximize mountain access and views. Large windows, outdoor living areas, ski lockers, and high-specification interiors are standard across most of the inventory. The Red Cloud neighborhood within Empire Pass is gated, offering an additional layer of privacy within the larger community.
On membership: only the Residences at the Tower carry a mandatory club requirement. Elsewhere in Empire Pass, membership is a separate question from the purchase itself, which makes verifying transferability and availability an early-stage diligence item on any resale.
Tuhaye Golf Community Real Estate
Tuhaye is a private gated community located off US-40 in the Jordanelle corridor, approximately 15 minutes from Park City. The community is built around the Mark O'Meara golf course and offers a lower-elevation, four-season environment that appeals to buyers who want golf access as their primary focus, or who prefer the Jordanelle area's combination of mountain views and relatively open terrain.
Real estate at Tuhaye includes single-family homes and custom home sites. As of mid-2026, lots start in the mid-$1 million range, homes generally run from roughly $3 million to $12 million and above, and a thin ultra-luxury tier now extends past $15 million into the low $20 million range. Closed sales over the trailing twelve months ran from roughly $2.2 million to $11.5 million, with a median near $5.9 million, showing how far the community has moved from its earlier pricing. Land buyers can build custom residences on sites with established infrastructure and community services.
Tuhaye's position in the Jordanelle corridor places it in one of the fastest-growing real estate zones in the greater Park City market. New development in the corridor, combined with the Deer Valley expansion underway nearby, has increased buyer interest in this area over the past several years.
Benefits of Owning Talisker Club Property
Multi-destination access. Full membership includes all four venues, so a home at Tuhaye offers ski access at Deer Valley through the Tower Club, a Main Street base downtown, and backcountry programming through The Outpost. Members do not need to choose one lifestyle over the other.
Privacy and security. Both Empire Pass and Tuhaye are gated with staffed entrances and controlled access. The communities attract buyers who value discretion and a consistent ownership profile among neighbors.
Long-term asset fundamentals. Luxury real estate in the Deer Valley and Jordanelle corridor has demonstrated consistent demand over time. Land constraints at Empire Pass limit new supply, which supports pricing at the upper end of the market. Tuhaye's remaining land inventory creates an opportunity for buyers who want to build rather than purchase existing construction.
Full-service amenities. Golf, skiing, dining, wellness, and outdoor programming within a single membership structure reduces the friction of second-home ownership. Members have access to club services year-round, not just during peak season.
Working With a Park City Realtor on Talisker Club
Purchasing within the Talisker Club involves more than a standard real estate transaction. Whether membership is mandatory or optional on a given property, how transfer and re-issuance fees apply, HOA obligations, and the distinction between developer inventory and resale all affect the total cost of ownership. At the same time, market conditions at Empire Pass and Tuhaye can move independently, and understanding current availability across both communities is part of making a well-informed decision.
Derrik Carlson and the team at Real Estate in Park City have worked extensively in Talisker Club communities, as well as across the broader range of Park City golf communities and ski-in/ski-out properties. The team holds certifications in Luxury Resort and Second Homes (RSPS) and Certified Negotiation Expert (CNE), credentials that reflect a specific focus on resort and investment-oriented transactions.
If you are evaluating a purchase at Empire Pass, Tuhaye, or comparing Talisker Club to other luxury communities in the area, reach out directly to discuss current inventory, pricing, and how the club's structure fits your objectives. There is no obligation, and the goal is a direct exchange of information to help you make the right decision for your situation.
Talisker Club: Summary
Talisker Club connects Park City's most desirable real estate environments under a single private membership spanning four venues. Empire Pass delivers ski-in/ski-out access at Deer Valley with limited, high-demand inventory and strong long-term pricing. Tuhaye offers a golf-focused, gated community in the Jordanelle corridor with both existing homes and land available for custom builds, plus the club's newest amenity investment. Main Street and The Outpost round out the membership with downtown dining and backcountry access.
Membership is mandatory on Tuhaye developer inventory and at the Residences at the Tower, and optional but availability-dependent across the rest of Empire Pass. For buyers whose lifestyle priorities align with what Talisker offers, that structure represents a meaningful advantage. For buyers still evaluating options, comparing Talisker Club against communities like Promontory or other Park City golf communities is a worthwhile step before moving forward.
