Imagine stepping onto a green that feels like a gateway to the wild heart of Jackson Hole. The Shooting Star Golf Club invites players of every skill level to swing beneath a thatched‑roof paradise, blending playfulness with the rugged beauty of the Teton Range. It’s a lively escape for locals and visitors alike.

Built in 1987, the club spans 18 holes of mid‑level difficulty, balanced between meandering fairways and gentle elevation changes that mirror the valley. Dramatic scenery—a crystal‑clear creek, a spring‑fed pond, and white‑capped peaks—makes each tee‑shot feel like a mini‑adventure. The signature 14th hole sits on a ridge, offering a challenging downhill approach to players.

Ever imagine a sunrise round where the morning light gilds the fairways? Or a twilight game where the starry sky echoes the club’s name? Try a photo‑friendly challenge: snap the 14th hole with a distant elk, then share it online for a chance to win a free pass.

To make the most of your visit, book a tee‑time online in advance—peak season (June‑August) fills quickly. Bring a lightweight layer because the valley can swing from warm sunshine to brisk breezes. If you’re new, consider a quick lesson from the pros. Finally, pack a reusable water bottle and stay on marked paths to respect wildlife.
