Snake River Sporting Club
Book Now
Snake River Sporting Club is a private high-end sporting club and resort about 15 miles south of Jackson on the Snake River, with a Tom Weiskopf-designed championship golf course, on-site lodging at The Sylvan Lodge, equestrian facilities, fly-fishing access, and year-round mountain amenities. The right fit is members, member-guests, and travelers booking The Sylvan Lodge who want a private-club experience with multiple sporting facilities under one membership. The wrong fit is anyone wanting a public-access golf course or a one-night Jackson hotel; this is a destination club property, not a stand-alone hotel or public course.
Top Amenities & Recreational Activities at Snake River Sporting Club
A multi-amenity private sporting club on a large property south of Jackson. The Tom Weiskopf-designed championship golf course is the headline asset, consistently ranked among Wyoming's best. Equestrian center with trail-ride and lesson programs. Fly-fishing access on the Snake River and on private spring creeks within the property. Tennis courts, sporting clays, archery range, hiking and mountain-bike trails, and seasonal Nordic skiing on the converted golf course in winter. The Sylvan Lodge offers on-site lodging for members and guests; multiple dining venues across the property. Spa, fitness center, pool, and event spaces support full-week stays.
Why people join or visit
Three reasons. First, sport variety on a single property. Most clubs do one or two things; Snake River does golf, fly fishing, riding, shooting, and Nordic skiing under one membership and one drive. Second, location and seclusion. Fifteen miles south of Jackson means the property is far enough from town to feel remote, with national forest borders providing the visual and trail-access frame. Third, year-round operation. Many similar Mountain West clubs run seasonally; Snake River runs all four seasons with calibrated programming for each.
How to plan a visit
Access is primarily for members and their guests, plus travelers staying at The Sylvan Lodge or specific event guests. For prospective members, the membership office runs property tours and information sessions. For lodging guests, book through the property and reserve activities (golf, riding, fishing) at the same time. For events (weddings, corporate offsites), engage early; the property hosts a limited number of events each year and dates fill out months ahead. Plan for the drive: 15 miles south of Jackson is roughly 25-30 minutes one way, longer in winter weather.
What to plan around
Three honest tradeoffs. First, this is a private club; access requires membership, member-guest sponsorship, lodge stays, or specific event access. If you don't fit one of those categories, the club is not bookable as a casual day trip. Second, the location is intentionally remote. The 25-30 minute drive into Jackson can be limiting if you want urban evenings; many guests stay on property for the full visit. Third, weather and elevation can compress the playable golf season; midsummer is the prime golf window.
One thing to keep in mind
For a member-guest visit, plan around at least two days on property. A single-day visit barely touches the amenities, and the property's value comes from sequencing across activities (morning golf, afternoon fishing, evening dinner, next-morning ride). For lodging guests, the strongest weeks pair The Sylvan Lodge stays with a fly-fishing program; the private spring creek and Snake access are differentiated assets in the valley.
The bottom line
For a private sporting club with championship golf, fly fishing, equestrian, and full-amenity lodging on a Snake River property south of Jackson, Snake River Sporting Club is the established premium option. Engage through membership, lodge stays, or event access, and plan for multi-day visits to use the property as designed.
