Designed by an eclectic golfing triumvirate of Byron Nelson, Steve Jones and architect Gary Stephenson, the Teton Springs Lodge & Spa offers golfers 27 holes of golf at its Headwaters Club.
Situated close to the Wyoming border, on the edge of Targhee National Forest, Teton Springs Lodge and Spa offers golfers the use of the 18-hole Headwaters layout and the 9-hole Nelson course at its Headwaters Club. Opened in 2004, both tracks were designed by architect Gary Stephenson in collaboration with Byron Nelson and Steve Jones.
The Headwaters course occupies a rather flat site in the Teton Valley, with fairways routed around a residential development and water in play at many of the holes. Disregard its 7,400-yard length as the course in reality is a lot shorter because of its playing altitude of around 6,000 feet above sea level.
Notable holes include strong par fives at the 5th and 9th, whilst on the back nine, water-threatened holes at the par three 10th and short par four 15th catch the eye before tackling the very tough (and very long) 18th, a mighty 490-yard par four closing hole that doglegs right past yet another water hazard on its way to the home green.
The latest ranking of the Top 100 Golf Courses in the World serves as the ultimate global golf bucket list. Most members of our World Top 100 Panel are seasoned golfers, each playing 20-30 of these courses annually while travelling extensively over decades to form their opinions on others. We recognise that opinions vary—even among our panel members. Rankings are subjective, and there are undoubtedly 50 or more courses in the UK and USA alone that could easily fit onto this list.
