There are many golf communities in the Jackson Hole area where you can live and enjoy one of America’s greatest pastimes, the game of golf. For more than twenty years, Jackson Hole was home to only one golf course; however, today there are 5 in the immediate area and many more close by.

Jackson Hole Golf and Tennis, located at the base of the Tetons, was the valley’s first golf course. Purchased in 1958 and opened in 1965, owner Paul McCollister, sold the golf course two years after completion to The Grand Teton Lodge Company. Today the course is owned and operated by Vail Resorts who called upon Robert Trent Jones II to update the course after acquiring it in 1999. There are currently seven homes for sale in the community ranging from over one million to nearly three million. With a spectacular view of the Tetons, the neighborhood and championship course continue to impress its residents along with golfers from around the world.

Located on the West Bank of the Snake River, Teton Pines was the next golf course community to be built and was completed in 1987. The Arnold Palmer-designed course stretches 7,412 yards. Centrally located between the Town of Jackson and Teton Village, the community contains many amenities such as: The Pines Restaurant, tennis, fly fishing, cross country skiing, a swimming pool and more. The subdivision is a favorite of local residents as well and vacation home owners. Properties in the neighborhood range from 1.5 million up to 9 million.

The final three golf communities take high-end to a new level of luxury. The 3 Creek Ranch community offers a Rees Jones course, along with private fishing, a naturalist program, cross country ski trails and a community fitness center. In regards to lots and homes for sale, there are 87 cabins sites available, each located on over half an acre in addition, to 43 lots that range from two to five acres in size. For those looking for the ultimate in luxury and exclusivity, there are six 35-acre parcels available to build your own private ranch. To purchase a single family home in 3 Creek Ranch, you can expect to spend around 3-5 million.

The last two golf communities plan to continue the luxury living concept. Located in the Snake River Canyon, The Snake River Sporting Club offers private membership to the Tom Weiskopf-designed golf course, along with an on-site fly fishing guide ready to take owners fishing down the Snake River. Residents can also head out on horse back with the community wrangler or spend time relaxing in the neighborhood member’s lodge. Snake River Sporting Club also has its own heli-pad for easy access to powder skiing along with a spa and fitness center. You can buy a lot at the Snake River Sporting Club for a little over 1 million up to 6 million.

Shooting Star, the newest golf course to Jackson Hole is still under construction. The Tom Fazio course and Shooting Star community is walking distance from the Jackson Hole ski area in Teton Village. With the completion of the course set for summer 2009, the course will only be accessible by its members and their guests. A little over a one acre parcel in this luxury community will cost between 2 and 5 million.

For those looking to purchase real estate in a golf community, the options are plentiful in the Jackson Hole area. Whether you are looking to enjoy living in the valley part-time or as a full time resident, each community is full of activities that allow you enjoy the true beauty of Jackson Hole.
