Jackson Hole Private Clubs: Exclusive, Luxury Resort Real Estate

It's no secret that gorgeous views and recreational amenities - such as what are offered in the Jackson Hole, Wyoming and Teton Valley, Idaho (Victor, Driggs, and Tetonia) – have been in high demand for many years now. Resort communities offering private membership services may be one of the best ways for you to experience the leisure-filled lifestyle of the Rocky Mountains. These offerings below are but a sample of what awaits you.

Dating back to the 1960s when Paul McCollister initially developed what is now Jackson Hole Mountain Resort, the first private membership club was established at the Jackson Hole Golf & Tennis Center north of Jackson near the airport. In 1987, Teton Pines introduced residents to the Arnold Palmer-designed Golf Club along with its Tennis Center, upscale dining and winter recreation site. To this day, both operations still provide access to a mixture of semi-private and public recreational activities such as golf and tennis.

As the second millennium came to an end, many more resort developments began to be discussed and proposed for both sides of the Tetons. Today, an additional three golf course developments are either completed or are under construction in the Jackson Hole Valley, with an additional five more available in the Victor, Driggs, and Tetonia areas of Teton Valley, Idaho. Besides golfing, many of these premier "lifestyle centers" offer members access to all facets of skiing, fly fishing schools, equestrian centers, spa and relaxation facilities, world-class dining, a personal concierge, and transportation services.

If recent history is any indicator of future investment performance, individuals who were astute enough to join and/or purchase property in these developments have been handsomely rewarded over and above the value they received from enjoying their pastimes. Depending on the mix of amenities and location, you should be able to find a club membership that fits your preferences and budget.
