The greater Jackson Hole region provides outstanding opportunities for the golf enthusiast throughout the summer. The area’s residential golf course communities, coupled with the access and amenities of the region, provide hubs for year-round activity.
“Jackson Hole’s rich history doesn’t end with our national parks,” says Arthur Corontzes, a real estate agent for Jackson Hole Sotheby’s International Realty. “World class golfing opportunities are also at your fingertips in northwestern Wyoming and eastern Idaho. Teton County, Wyoming has five world-class golf courses designed by Tom Fazio and Arnold Palmer—among others.”
The member-owned, 3 Creek Ranch Golf Club is located in the heart of the Jackson Hole valley. While just minutes from the town of Jackson, 3 Creek Ranch’s award-winning, Rees Jones designed course highlights stunning views of the Cathedral Group of the Tetons south through Teton Pass and the Snake River Range.
This panoramic view is captured through site lines of the club’s premier real estate offering, 3115 Water Cress Lane, which overlooks the 18th fairway to views of the Grand Teton beyond. South American stone and tile provide the palette for this five bedroom, fourteen thousand square foot home blending contemporary design elements with open, lodge-style influences.
On the western side of the valley, the Shooting Star subdivision of Teton Village focuses its summer activities around the Fazio designed golf course, as well as the amenities at the base of the neighboring Jackson Hole Mountain Resort, and the southern entrance to Grand Teton National Park. In addition to access to its world-class golf course, membership at Shooting Star features a full clubhouse, pool, fitness and spa facilities, as well as a network of winter cross country ski trails and door-to-door shuttle service to the base of the ski area.
Noteworthy among current offerings in Shooting Star is a highly-customized Lodge at 3350 Four Pines Road. Completed in 2018, this rustic contemporary home encompasses just over four thousand square feet of living space amidst its four bedroom floor plan. Reclaimed ceiling timbers, barn wood cabinets and Chief Cliff stone work are just a few of the design features incorporated into this iconic, year-round Teton Village golf and ski property.
The Headwaters Golf Course within Teton Springs provides the preeminent residential golf experience in Teton Valley and Eastern Idaho, and is conveniently located just thirty minutes from the town of Jackson via Teton Pass. The course design at Teton Springs was a masterful collaboration by Gary Stephenson as Master Course Architect, in conjunction with US Open Champion Steve Jones and golf legend Byron Nelson. The course earns its namesake for its location among the headwaters of the Teton River, which flows through the broad valley.
15 Kearsley Lane is situated on Double Hall Lake, across from the fourth hole and features amazing views of the Teton Valley landscape from every room. The four bedroom home features three distinct living spaces, as well as a game room, bar and outdoor fire pit for entertaining.
Together, Jackson Hole and neighboring Teton Valley tee up more than ten area golf courses to suit all abilities, and residential golf communities featuring designs by some of the world’s most esteemed course architects and a truly unbeatable backdrop.
