The Story of Snake River Sporting Club
Just south of where the Snake and Hoback rivers meet, Snake River Sporting Club sits on land that’s long drawn people in—for its views, its wildness and its way of life.
The club opened in 2006 with a Tom Weiskopf-designed course, but it’s always been about more than golf. With 1,000+ acres and access to fly fishing, horseback riding, cross-country skiing, and more. It’s a place where the outdoors is the real draw—and the river still runs the show.
Once known as “the flats,” this land was part of the ancestral homelands of five Native American tribes. In the 1800s, it became a route for Astorian fur traders, then a destination for prospectors and homesteaders. One of the original cabins from that era—built around 1900—still stands near the third hole.
In later years, the land became a working ranch then a place where travelers came to ride horses, breathe mountain air and live out a piece of the West. That spirit still runs through the club today: rugged, rooted, and ready for whatever comes next.
