Snake River Sporting Club

USA, Wyoming
Designer: Tom Weiskopf
Course Opened: 2007

Snake River Sporting Club represents a transporting, transcendent threshold into an oasis bordered only by river and wilderness. Intended for the enjoyment of its members, their families, and guests, perspective and pace feel different here: more essential and elemental. Our goal? To create an authentic Jackson Hole experience in a private club setting and deliver the height of Western hospitality. At nearly 1,000 acres, including a fully functioning ranch, the Snake River Sporting Club hosts amenities unlike any other. Curated activities and excursions accumulate into a close kinship with place. Even more than that, this land inspires attunement to nature and a sense of real peace.

Golf Course - Meeting on the green can mean something different for everyone. Here, it means meeting at the base of a mountain with the natural sounds of swaying cottonwoods and rushing river enveloping you. The Snake River meanders along the course and millions of acres of national forest stretch into the distance. Hours can be lost here; swings honed. Yet why does it feel like no time has passed at all? Sometimes in places of extreme beauty we feel a touch of magic and are transported to a timeless place.

World famous golf course designer Tom Weiskopf approached the Snake River Sporting Club the way his boutique firm has approached creating some of the finest courses in Scotland, South Africa, and the Caribbean. He paid painstaking attention to the natural swale of the land, honoring the porous border with the wilderness in every tee and fairway.
