Thinking About Living in Snake River Sporting Club?
Get connected with a local real-estate specialist who understands Snake River Sporting Club and the surrounding Jackson Hole golf market.
Snake River Sporting Club sits on nearly 1,000 acres along the Snake River Canyon roughly 27 miles south of the Town of Jackson (23.5 miles from Alpine, off U.S. Highway 89), bordering Bridger-Teton National Forest. Founded in the mid-2000s and designed by Tom Weiskopf, the course debuted to strong reviews -- Golf Digest named it the #2 New Private Course in the country in 2007 -- before the club closed during the 2008-2009 financial crisis and was later reopened under new ownership. Since reopening, it has been voted Wyoming's #1 course by Golf Digest for four consecutive years, 2015 through 2018, and the community has drawn national lifestyle press coverage (Forbes, Robb Report) for its combination of golf, equestrian, and river amenities.
The club's real estate program is organized into three genuinely distinct products rather than a single undifferentiated housing type: The Lodges (freestanding single-family homes at the community's center, positioned for rental-program flexibility as well as owner use, priced roughly $995,000-$1.695 million); The Residences (0.5-2 acre lots bordering or near the golf course, supporting custom 'mountain modern' homes up to 6,500 sq ft, with built homes reported in the $2.4 million-$6.5 million range); and The Ranch Estates (large-parcel, 35-acre irrigated properties bordering Bridger-Teton National Forest, with lots reported at $550,000-$950,000). Given the real differences in scale, price point, and buyer intent (investment/rental flexibility at The Lodges versus a large working-ranch-style parcel at The Ranch Estates), this batch models these as three separate community records rather than flattening them into one, consistent with the brief's guidance and the precedent set by Vermont's Spruce Peak multi-product split.
Golf & Course
The Snake River Sporting Club course is an 18-hole, roughly 7,500-yard Tom Weiskopf design opened in the mid-2000s along the Snake River Canyon. It was named Golf Digest's #2 New Private Course in the country in 2007 and was subsequently voted Wyoming's #1 course by Golf Digest for four straight years, 2015-2018, following a reopening under new ownership after a 2008-2009 financial-crisis-era closure.
Membership & Access
Does buying a home here include club membership?
Membership is tiered -- Regular (age 40+, full access), Junior Regular (reduced initiation/dues until age 40), and National (for those without property or extended rental presence within 200 miles of the club, with golf-day limits) -- and is purchased separately from real estate, though homeowners are reported to automatically qualify for Regular Membership eligibility. This batch could not corroborate a specific current initiation fee or dues figure against an official source; confirm directly with the club.
Living in Snake River Sporting Club
Real estate at Snake River Sporting Club spans three distinct tiers: The Lodges (freestanding homes with rental-program flexibility, at the community's center), The Residences (0.5-2 acre golf-adjacent custom-home lots), and The Ranch Estates (35-acre irrigated parcels bordering Bridger-Teton National Forest). The community is gated, with security cameras at the entrance and along drives. The Sylvan Lodge, a 39-key on-property boutique hotel with 15 private residential suites, is open to the general public and is separate from the three owner-focused real estate tiers.
Lifestyle & Amenities
Amenities include a 26,000-sq-ft clubhouse with a sports shop, restaurant/grill, and outdoor dining deck; an infinity-edge pool overlooking the canyon and national forest; a 10,000-sq-ft spa at The Sylvan Lodge with eight treatment rooms, an infrared sauna, steam rooms, a polar plunge, and a 24/7 fitness facility; an equestrian center with guided trail rides and lessons; and riverside fly fishing.

What Buyers Should Verify
- Confirm current initiation fee and annual dues directly with the club -- this batch found two conflicting third-party aggregator ranges and no official rate sheet, per the research brief's explicit caution about this club's figures.
- Confirm the exact current mechanics of homeowner membership eligibility (automatic qualification for Regular Membership versus a separate application/admission step) directly with the club.
- Confirm current home/lot price ranges for all three property tiers directly with SRSC Real Estate, as figures here come from real-estate marketing pages rather than a verified current MLS pull.
Notable
- Voted Wyoming's #1 golf course by Golf Digest for four consecutive years, 2015 through 2018, after reopening from a 2008-2009 financial-crisis-era closure.
- The community's real estate program spans three genuinely distinct tiers -- The Lodges, The Residences, and The Ranch Estates -- reflecting real differences in scale, price, and buyer intent rather than mere marketing segmentation.
- The club includes a full equestrian center and riverside fly fishing alongside golf, giving it a broader 'sporting club' identity than a golf-only private club.
