Teton Reserve Golf Course

Teton Reserve Golf Course Review Victor Idaho 8050

Located on the back side of the Teton Mountain Range and just north of Victor, Idaho is Teton Reserve, an 18 hole Hale Irwin designed course. Open to the public, Teton Reserve expansively saunters thru the tall grass of the flat valley floor with a challenging and atheistically appealing design. During the prime season the course’s greens are typically in impeccable condition, making it not only a great golf experience in the Teton/Jackson area, but a exceptional value for a public course.

Practice Area

Driving Range
The 500 yards deep and expansive the all grass driving range is set up in a southerly direction, meaning the golfers will have to deal with head or right to left winds (when present).  There are an adequate number of accurate distance and visual targets making the range excellent for extend practice sessions or short warm ups.

Putting Green and Bunker
A large putting green is located next to the range that can accommodate multiple golfers.  The green is flatter than the conditions found on the course, but is nonetheless representative of the speed. Neighboring the green is a large practice bunker with multiple pins for fine tuning one’s sand game.

The Course

Design & Layout
There are many aspects of Teton Reserve that make the course not only a hidden gem in the Teton Valley, but an Continue reading →

The 140th Open Championship at the Royal St. George’s Golf Club Preview

It’s that time of year again…time to set the alarm for an obnoxiously early rise, pre-make the coffee the night before, and groggily enjoy the BBC’s bumbling video coverage of one of golf’s most important/prestigious tournaments…The Open Championship (or I supposed one could simply set their DVR and sleep in).  This year, the Royal St. George’s Golf Club in southeastern England plays host to its’ 14th Open Championship (coverage begins Thursday morning at 4am EST on ESPN and on Direct TV’s channel’s 701-705).  The course was the was the first to host the Open Championship outside of Scotland in 1894 and last hosted the tournament in 2003 when Ben Curtis, the 396th ranked player in the world at the time, came out of nowhere to win the Claret Jug.   

The 2011 version of Royal St. George’s is largely recognizable as the same course players faced in 2003, but there are some notable changes.  The 1st fairway, where only 30% of the players Continue reading →

2011 U.S. Open at Congressional Preview

Congressional Country Club's 18th hole & Clubhouse; Photo By: Keith Allison

Thursday marks the beginning of America’s national golf championship, the 111th U.S. Open at Congressional Country Club in Bethesda, Maryland. It also marks the first time in recent memory the almighty golf prognosticators of the world have no clear cut “favorite” to win the Open. Gone is Tiger Woods who is still limping both physically and mentally through life. None of the flashy promising young guns like Rory McIlroy or Rickie Fowler have shown the ability to take their game to the next level on a consistent basis.  Potential American heroes such as Nick Watney and Dustin Johnson have fallen short in recent majors, while no one seems willing to bet the farm Bubba Watson’s “Bubba Ball” nor the consistently brilliant, but boring Matt Kuchar.  And heaven forbid an American prognosticator predicts any foreign player like Luke Donald, Ian Poulter, or K.J. Choi to win.

Therefore the mass media reports that the tournament is wide open and that a winner could come from anywhere in the field.  Finally(!), words of wisdom coming for the golf prognosticators gallery (read my post on yearly golf predictions and you’ll understand my reaction).

Not being a believer in golf predictions here are a few tidbits to contemplate while enjoying the 111th U.S. Open (coverage begins at 10am EST on ESPN and Direct TV 701-705):

  • Congressional has been home to four PGA Tour events; the Booz Allen Classic in 2005 and the AT&T National from 2007-2009.  Of the players who competed in these tournaments and are playing in the U.S. Open, only Continue reading →

Practice Area

Putting and 9th Greens

Mt. Ogden doesn’t have a proto-typical driving range, but rather an open grass area between the 1st and 10th holes.  Although the range is all grass, it is less than 190 yards in length providing many golfers only a limited practice or warm-up area.

The course does have a fairly expansive putting green, which can  Continue reading →
