Jackson Hole Golf & Tennis Club

Jackson Hole Golf & Tennis Club is a semi-private country club at 5000 N Spring Gulch Road, just north of Jackson, with a Robert Trent Jones Jr.-designed 18-hole championship golf course, tennis facilities, heated saltwater pool, fitness center, North Grille restaurant, and Tetons-front views from nearly every hole. The right fit is members and member-guests, semi-private golfers booking limited public tee times, and travelers wanting tennis or fitness access during a Jackson stay. The wrong fit is anyone wanting a fully public course or a casual walk-on; access is structured around membership and limited public windows.

The setup

An 18-hole Robert Trent Jones Jr. course running roughly early May through mid-October. Tennis courts and pickleball, a heated saltwater pool, a fitness center, and the North Grille restaurant on-site for member and guest dining. Wedding and event venue programming runs alongside the recreational membership, with the Tetons-front views as the venue's anchor. Winter operations include a Nordic ski track set on the golf course; the property reinvents itself across the seasons.

Why people play here

Three reasons. First, the views. Holes face directly into the Teton Range; for golfers visiting the area, this is one of the most-photographed courses in the region. Second, course design and condition. The Robert Trent Jones Jr. routing and the long-running maintenance program produce a course that holds up against any in the Mountain West. Third, the multi-amenity model. Tennis, pool, fitness, and dining alongside golf means a member household uses the club year-round, not just for golf days.

How to plan a visit

Non-members can book public tee times daily but only in a limited window (typically 1:00 PM to 2:00 PM); to play earlier, you need to be a member or a guest of one. Call ahead during peak season; weekend public slots fill out fast. Standard golf-attire dress code applies. Wildlife on the course is part of the experience; cart bags and clubs may share fairways with deer and the occasional moose.

The catch

Two honest tradeoffs. First, public access is structured and limited; if you want unrestricted public golf in the area, options are narrower. Second, the season is short. Snow timing means the course rarely opens before early May or stays open past mid-October.

Local note

For visiting golfers, time a Jackson trip for late June through mid-September for the strongest course conditions and longest daylight. Public tee times in the 1-2 PM window often catch the best afternoon Tetons light; pair an afternoon round with dinner at the North Grille on the way out. For locals considering membership, ask about the multi-season usage patterns; the Nordic track and pool turn the membership into year-round value rather than golf-season only.

The verdict

For a Robert Trent Jones Jr.-designed 18-hole course with Tetons-front views, plus tennis, pool, fitness, and dining under one membership, Jackson Hole Golf & Tennis Club is the established Jackson semi-private country club. Plan around the limited public tee window or engage on membership for full access.
