Happy Thanksgiving

Dear Jackson Hole Golf & Tennis Club Members,

I wanted to wish everyone a safe and happy Thanksgiving holiday. The club will be closed on Thanksgiving Day (11/24/2011) and Friday (11/25/2011) but will reopen for normal business hours, Monday (11/28/2011) for the fitness facility (6am – 5pm). Next week I will send out a revised winter hours of operation for the club, fitness facility and the North Grille. Again, I hope everyone has a wonderful Thanksgiving Holiday.

Best Regards,

Maintenance Department

Bring on the snow

Having another successful season in the books, you might be asking yourself what the maintenance department possibly does being holed up inside for six months of snow. There are a lot of workings that go on behind the scenes to ensure that we continue to improve from the previous golf seasons.

We just got the nordic trail marked and are currently waiting for more snow to regularly groom it. We made a few changes to the trail this year by creating two separate loops. One traverses the entire front nine, and the other the back nine. We heard people's suggestions and decided to implement these changes. We hope you can experience the wildlife from a safe viewing distance. Please remember to keep your dogs on leash while out on the golf course as this land is designated critical moose habitat and we are dead center of the yellowstone elk heard's migration to the National Elk Refuge.


The North Grille will open up for dinners starting in December. We will keep the parking lot plowed and the sidewalks free from snow for our membership to use the clubhouse facilities throughout the week. Throughout the course of the winter we will continue to evaluate our agronomic plan and see where we can make improvements for best management practices. We are working very hard to ensure that you will have an experience of a lifetime when you come to play our course this coming season.
