Jackson Hole Golf & Tennis
Jackson Hole may be a paradise for extreme athletes, but that doesn't mean the valley is lacking when it comes to club sport activities. With two world renowned golf courses less than 15 minutes from Jackson, and tennis courts scattered throughout the valley, Jackson Hole offers the more traditional athlete numerous opportunities.

Golf is part of the Jackson Hole landscape. Teton Pines Resort and Country Club’s long-established Arnold Palmer course is Audubon Certified and recognized by Conde Nast Traveler as “One of the Top 100 Golf Resorts in North America and the Caribbean”. Jackson Hole Golf and Tennis has recently made multi-million dollar improvements to their golf course, which was already lauded by Golf Digest Magazine as Wyoming’s best. A new clubhouse complex, views of the Tetons, and the fact that the resort is 100% wind powered through renewable energy credits gives Jackson Hole golfers a unique 18-hole experience. Snake River Sporting Club is the newest Jackson Hole golf course and is touted for its quiet, still undiscovered, greens. Course designer Tom Weiskopf says he believes it to be his “finest golf course design in the US, to-date.”
The Links in Tetonia and Teton Springs Resort’s Byron Nelson designed golf course are on the Idaho side of the Tetons – approximately 20 and 30 minutes from Jackson Hole on Highway 33. In 2007 a Hale Irwin designed reversible course at Teton Reserve will open. Also in Teton Valley, Idaho two other courses are slated as the focal points for high-end golf communities – Huntsman Springs and River Rim Ranch – by 2010.

| Overview |
|
Standing at the first tee of either valley golf course can be a little daunting, with the towering Tetons as the backdrop. The good news is, in this high altitude environment your drives go a little farther, and perhaps your score a little lower! Both Jackson Hole area golf courses are open to the public. Getting a tee time in July and August can be a little tough so call ahead when possible.
Both clubs also have tennis courts which are open to the public. Outdoor club courts rent for about $16/hour during the summer. Free public courts in town are located at Miller Park and adjacent to the rodeo grounds.
