Snake River Sporting Club

Snake River Sporting Club in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, is a Tom Weiskopf-designed championship course that was completely rebuilt and reopened in 2004 after structural issues with the original routing. The 7,500-yard layout stretches beside the 1,078-mile Snake River and winds through tall cottonwoods, native sagebrush, and the dramatic mountain terrain that defines the Jackson Hole valley, a setting that reviewers consistently call one of the most scenic in American golf. The course was ranked "No. 2 Best New Private Course in the U.S." by Golf Digest upon its Weiskopf reopening in 2007, and has since earned multiple "Best in Wyoming" recognitions from Golf Digest's Best in State rankings and the World Golf Awards, which has nominated it as "Wyoming's Best Golf Course" several times. Reviews occasionally note that the greens feature excessive contours approaching the unplayable in places, and some holes lack the risk-reward balance Weiskopf's best designs showcase, but for Jackson Hole visitors willing to pay the private-club guest fee, it's the ceiling of Wyoming resort golf.
