So which is a better course to play: Jackson Hole Golf & Tennis or Teton Pines? Or am I missing another option?

Thanks

I like Teton Pines better (Arnold Palmer design) than Jackson Hole Golf and Tennis.

but the holes along the Gros Ventre river on Jackson Golf and Tennis are pretty sweet.

If you can, I'd recommend going over Teton Pass and playing at Teton Springs.
Then get a burger at the Brakeman in Victor.

Other options in Jackson Hole are private and you need to know someone to get on:
1) Snake River sporting club - weiskopf design which is supposed to be amazing - south of jackson
2) Shooting Star - fazio design at the base of teton village
3) Three Creek - rees jones design

Thanks for the reply. I was beginning to think no one has ever golfed in Jackson Hole.

One thing that strikes me is that the courses all seem so flat. Surprising as it is in the mountains. Well that and the cost ...

Damn, RS, you're getting close to my neck of the woods so I could have treated you to that round, but unfortunately you're on the wrong side of Wyoming.

Another one for Teton Pines. It was a great course to play but if you can play both do it. Some really good views on both courses.

Have fun!

I would have taken you up on it! :-) Looks like you won't have to fork out $175 for a slow poke - lol.

Thanks again. I'll have to see if any of the other folks in the group I'll be with will want to play.

Honestly and with all due respect, you don't need them. Two courses you can't miss out on because of the views and the beauty of seeing your ball go for miles and land softly.

Hit up snake river grill afterwards...god I miss Jhole

Bump...

Anyone have reviews on Cedar Creek out at Star Valley Ranch?

rsj1360 · August 25, 2015

So played at Teton Pines last week. It was a nice course - well maintained and all that - but didn't strike me as all that memorable. The views were obscured all wee though because of the fires.

You really can't go wrong with a course in Jhole or around the surrounding areas

The condition of Teton Pines was wonderful but so was the ones in Victor/Driggs, ID and Star Ranch, WY.

Views were more into your face at TP but I would play any of those courses again in a heartbeat.

Bumping this old thread with the good news that I've moved back to the Tetons afer 8 years in Chicago.

I grew up in the Chicago area, but my heart is here in the Tetons (as a skier and a golfer, and horses too).

A lot has changed post COVID, private club access to the public and cost of rounds, but the publics, at least on the Idaho side of the TEtons, we still have Teton Reserve (A Hale Irwin design), which is my favorite public, and the Links at Teton Peaks (where you can golf with your dog!!!!).

If anyone is visiting, I'm happy to try and play with you or answer questions about local golf.
