Jackson Hole Golf & Tennis Club

Frequently Asked Questions

When is the best time of year to play Jackson Hole Golf & Tennis Club?

You'll find the best conditions from late June through early September, when the weather is consistently warm and the course is in peak form. We personally love late August for the perfect balance of great weather and slightly fewer crowds. Be prepared for cooler temperatures and potential early snow if you visit in October.

What unique challenges or features should I expect when playing Jackson Hole Golf & Tennis Club?

The course's biggest feature is undoubtedly the Teton Range backdrop - it's truly breathtaking and can be a distraction! Robert Trent Jones Jr.'s design incorporates strategic bunkering and water hazards, demanding precise shot-making, especially on the back nine. You'll need to manage your approach shots carefully to avoid trouble.

Is Jackson Hole Golf & Tennis Club open to the public, and how difficult is it to get a tee time?

While it operates as a private club, they do offer limited public play, particularly if you're staying at an affiliated property. We strongly recommend booking your tee time as far in advance as possible, especially for summer weekends, as spots fill up quickly. It's worth the planning to experience this course.

How does playing at altitude in Jackson Hole affect my golf game?

You're playing at over 6,000 feet here, which means your ball will fly further-typically 10-15% more than at sea level. We always advise taking one less club than you think you need and focusing on smooth, controlled swings. Remember to stay well-hydrated throughout your round to combat the effects of the elevation.

Can I expect to see wildlife on the course at Jackson Hole Golf & Tennis Club?

Absolutely, wildlife sightings are a common and exciting part of the experience here. You might encounter elk, deer, moose, or even a bear, especially during early morning or late evening rounds. Always give animals plenty of space and never approach them-just enjoy the incredible natural surroundings.
