Few private clubs in the American West carry the mystique of Shooting Star. Designed by Tom Fazio and opened in 2012, the course occupies a dramatic stretch of land in the shadow of the Teton Range — one of the most visually arresting settings in all of golf. It has earned consistent recognition among the top courses in Wyoming and routinely appears on national rankings of the best private layouts in the country.
Fazio routed the course through sagebrush meadows and rolling terrain that channels the raw, wide-open character of the Jackson Hole valley. The design leans into natural landforms rather than fighting them, with holes that frame Teton views without feeling manufactured. The conditioning is immaculate, as you'd expect from a club built to an ultra-private standard with a membership that demands it.
Jackson itself sits at nearly 6,200 feet in altitude, which affects ball flight noticeably, and the short mountain summer means the course operates on a compressed season — which only adds to its exclusivity and appeal.
