Teton Springs (Headwaters)

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.
