For nearly five decades, Jackson Hole Golf & Tennis Club has developed quite a reputation as a popular golf, resort, and wedding destination amidst the base of the Tetons in Jackson Hole, Wyoming. You read it right, JHGTC first opened its doors to golfers in 1963. This summer we are celebrating our 48th year of operations.
Laurance Rockefeller, an avid golfer and resort property pioneer, saw a diamond in the rough when he purchased the Jackson Hole Golf & Tennis Club in 1967. In 1971 Rockefeller contracted Robert Trent Jones II to develop a major remodeling plan for the original Bob Baldock designed course.
In 2004 Jones was contracted once again for a second redesign of the course. The nearly $3.6 million dollar renovation set forth to preserve our legendary status.
As we seek to return the golf course to the standard that you've come to expect, we hope that this blog can inform you about all of the happenings in the golf maintenance department.
With this blog, we hope to bring the general public a first hand view into the world of golf course operations, the obstacles we face, and what we've done to improve the conditions at Jackson Hole Golf & Tennis. Our golf course superintendent, Andy Erskine, and I will be keeping you in the loop through weekly entries so check in to see what’s new and exciting at Jackson Hole Golf & Tennis and feel free to send questions, make comments, and connect with us.
