About this course
Huntsman Springs occupies a distinctive mountain setting in Driggs, Idaho, situated in the Teton Valley on the western slope of the Teton Range. David McLay Kidd designed the course, which opened in 2007 as part of a larger residential and resort development. The property sits at approximately 6,000 feet elevation, where the high-altitude environment and dramatic mountain backdrop create a playing experience quite different from Kidd's more famous coastal links designs. The routing takes advantage of the natural terrain, incorporating native grasses, sagebrush, and stands of aspen and pine that characterize the Teton Valley landscape. The course features relatively open fairways with strategic bunkering and natural waste areas, reflecting Kidd's preference for ground-game options and varied approach angles. Water comes into play on several holes through creeks and ponds that thread through the property. The elevation changes are moderate but meaningful, and the thin mountain air affects ball flight in ways players from lower altitudes must account for. Huntsman Springs serves as the centerpiece amenity for a private club and real estate community. The development emphasizes outdoor recreation beyond golf, with access to fly fishing, hiking, and proximity to winter sports at nearby resorts. The course operates seasonally given the mountain climate, typically from late spring through early fall. The Teton views provide a consistent visual element throughout the round, though the course itself focuses more on strategic golf than dramatic elevation change or severe topography.

Getting there
Huntsman Springs Golf Club sits in the Teton Valley, a high-altitude basin in eastern Idaho best accessed via Jackson Hole Airport (JAC), roughly ninety minutes south in Wyoming, or Bozeman Montane Regional Airport (BZN) in Montana, a two-hour drive north through some of the Northern Rockies' most dramatic terrain. The final approach from either direction carries you through mountain passes and alongside the western flank of the Teton Range before descending into Driggs, where the valley opens into sage-covered benchland and the club's manicured grounds emerge against a backdrop of snow-capped peaks. For those with private aircraft, Driggs-Reed Memorial Airport offers a direct landing just minutes from the property, allowing the journey to culminate without the friction of commercial terminals. The road in is quiet and unhurried - a fitting transition from the wider world into one of the Mountain West's most secluded golf sanctuaries.
