3 Creek Ranch

3 Creek Ranch sits in the Teton Valley near Jackson, Wyoming, designed by Rees Jones and opened in the late 1990s. The course occupies high-elevation terrain with views toward the Teton Range, characteristic of the region's dramatic mountain landscape. Jones routed the layout across rolling meadowland interspersed with native grasses, sagebrush, and stands of cottonwood and aspen, working within the natural contours of the valley floor. The design reflects Jones's approach to mountain golf, incorporating elevation changes and strategic bunkering while allowing the surrounding topography to define much of the challenge. Water features from the property's creek systems come into play on several holes, and the routing takes advantage of prevailing winds that can significantly affect club selection and shot strategy at this altitude. The course layout emphasizes accuracy over distance, with fairway corridors that reward thoughtful placement. 3 Creek Ranch operates as a private club serving a membership drawn largely from the Jackson Hole area's seasonal and year-round residents. The facility reflects the region's outdoor-oriented culture, with a relatively understated clubhouse and amenities that prioritize the golf experience and mountain setting over formal traditions. The course remains playable through much of the summer and early fall, with seasonal closures dictated by Wyoming's high-country weather patterns.
