"If The Jackson Hole Snake River Sporting Club isn't the best piece of property that I have worked on in the US, it is tied for 1st! What makes it such a special piece of property is the Snake River, the canyon, the varieties of large, mature trees on site, and the meadow and wetlands areas. I believe it to be my finest golf course design in the US to-date." –Tom Weiskopf, Course Designer
