A Robert Trent Jones Sr./Robert Trent Jones Jr. designed 18-hole championship golf course is the jewel of the Club. Opened originally in 1974, this great course represents one of the last collaborations by this renowned
father-son team. Situated on 280 acres along the base of Dollar Mountain in Sun Valley, Idaho, the front nine is best known for its elevated tees, dramatic mountain vistas and rolling fairways. The back nine does not contain the elevation changes of the front, but don't let this fool you into thinking it is any easier.
You will quickly notice water features on eight of the nine holes as you play along and over ponds, wetlands and Elkhorn Creek. Elkhorn Golf Club also has a new home—a beautiful 16,000-square-foot facility houses the golf shop, dining room, men and women's locker rooms, administrative offices, golf club/cart storage and a drive-up snack bar.
Whether you are shopping in our fully-stocked golf shop, enjoying lunch in the dining room or sharing a drink following your round on the Terrace, the staff at Elkhorn will ensure that your experience is truly pleasurable.

Harbottle is known for creating challenging courses that are enjoyable for the average player as well as the very skilled. He describes BanBury this way: “BanBury’s architectural strength is in the finishing holes. They are extremely varied and full of risk-reward opportunities—the last five holes will test almost every club in the bag.”
BanBury’s casually elegant Clubhouse and patio overlook the 18th hole and feature a full-service golf shop, restaurant, bar, meeting room and catering services. Open year round.

Strategic elevation changes add to the interest on several holes, particularly on hole 15, a long dogleg par 4, requiring a driver and three-wood for most players to reach an elevated green surrounded by bunkers. The course also features a 400-yard double-ended practice range with multiple targets and plenty of hitting stations.
