If you’re looking for a Denver-area golf course that offers a similar feel to Jackson Hole Golf & Tennis Club, think scenic beauty, high-end amenities, and a peaceful mountain vibe. Here are a few contenders that come closest:
| Course | Location | Why It Compares |
|---|---|---|
| Colorado Golf Club | Parker, CO | Private, exclusive, with a rustic luxury vibe. Set on rolling hills with panoramic mountain views. Host of major events like the Solheim Cup. |
| Red Sky Golf Club (Norman or Fazio course) | Wolcott, CO (2 hrs from Denver) | Not in Denver proper, but mountain golf at its finest. Upscale, scenic, and elite — very much like JHGT. |
| The Country Club at Castle Pines | Castle Rock, CO | Gated, elevated, and forested — gives a similar sense of seclusion and prestige. Recently renovated, with exceptional facilities. |
| Frost Creek | Eagle, CO (closer to Vail — 2 hrs from Denver) | Set along Brush Creek with a luxury ranch-like setting, this one’s a JHGT-level retreat with high-end lodging and spa vibes. |
| The Broadmoor Golf Club | Colorado Springs | Historic and elegant, with mountain views and resort-level luxury. It’s a bit more manicured/formal than JHGT but still very comparable. |
🔍 Things Jackson Hole G&T Offers That Are Rare in Denver:
-
Proximity to dramatic Tetons-style backdrops: Denver courses have Front Range views, but not as towering or close.
-
Wildlife is roaming through the course: You might see elk or moose in Jackson, which is less likely near Denver.
-
Tranquil, remote energy: Even upscale Denver-area clubs still feel a bit more “in town.”
🏔️ Jackson Hole Golf & Tennis Club Overview
Location: Just north of Jackson, WY — nestled between the Snake River and Grand Teton National Park. You’re only about 10 minutes from the Jackson Town Square, but it feels worlds away.
Course Designer: Originally crafted by Robert Trent Jones Jr., later enhanced with updates that preserve its minimalist, natural aesthetic.
A local Jackson Hole news site, Antlers Arch, also loves the food at JHGT: “The North Point Grille at Jackson Hole G&T is open to the public. If you live or vacation north of Jackson, avoiding the traffic into town for dinner is well worth the great food and Teton views at JHGT.
🌄 What Makes It Special
-
The Views: Every hole frames the Teton Range like a postcard. You get uninterrupted mountain vistas, especially on the back nine, where the Grand Teton practically stares you down as you line up your shot.
-
Wildlife: It’s not uncommon to see elk, moose, eagles, and even bears on or near the course. The open setting blends into protected lands, so the wildlife feels like part of the club.
-
Low-Profile Luxury: This isn’t a flashy resort course. It’s elegant without trying, attracting a mix of Jackson locals, second-homeowners, and summer visitors who value nature over noise.
-
The Setting: The club sits in a wide-open, valley-floor setting that allows the Tetons to truly dominate the horizon. There’s very little development around it, so the sense of space and stillness is profound, especially in early mornings or twilight rounds.
-
Amenities: The tennis program is excellent, with mountain-view courts and a laid-back community feel. There’s also a beautiful pool, a stylish clubhouse, and one of the better al fresco dining setups in the valley.
