*** JUDGE'S NOTES *** The designer recommends the following set up for playing. Tee: Master -- Black; Player -- Black or Blue; Beginner -- White Pin: Judge's choice Wind strength: Medium to High Wind direction: North, Northeast or East Default settings for all other attributes Welcome to Hoback Range Sports Club, architect Jeremy Mayo's official entry into the 2019 TGCT World Cup of Design. The course, based loosely on Snake River Sporting Club, winds its way through the Snake River basin near Jackson Hole, Wy. Though surrounded by mountains on either side, this 18-hole layout is surprisingly easy to walk with very little elevation change overall. It's the subtle work with the terrain and attention to angles that set this course apart. Of course, there are plenty of breathtaking valley views to be had, included the course's own "Amen corner" of holes 12, 13 & 14 where the streams running through the basin dominate the landscape and the strategy. This par 72 layout offers four distinct tee sets for golfers of all abilities and stretches to nearly 7,500 yards from the tips. In addition to well-appointed amenities in the clubhouse, the club features a high-end practice facility, horseback rides through the property via the adjacent equestrian center and a few luxury cabins to welcome on-site guests, with more accommodations planned for the coming months. Mayo and his staff at Mayday's Golf Academy of Worldly Designs (MyGAWD) painstakingly poured over every detail of this project and welcome you to the course. Course specifics Theme: Boreal Par: 72 Pin sets: 4 Tee sets 4 ( Bear 7485 / Wolf 7213 / Moose 6871 / Stag 6261) Default Conditions: Greens (Speed 173 / Firmness 0.67), Fairways (Roll 0.7 / Firmness 0.7), Rough (Roll 0.5 / Firmness 0.5)

Grabbed a quick round here. The stream/creek/river was incredibly well done, one of the best I've seen and the stretch of holes from 8-14 was fantastic golf with some very tough but fair pins on set 3.

The little streams winding along the course look awesome. Another course with a look that is completely unique to me. BIG props on the retaining walls that change elevation gradually, especially #9 and #18. Definitely gonna have to snag that to use on something in the future.
#7 and #13 are some wow-inducing par 3's.
Like the water feature and rock work around the clubhouse.

Nice cave I'd be careful ... You never know what might be lurking in that cave if you sneak on to the property at night

Very nice track, as expected from an experienced designer. I enjoy well planned layouts that provide options off the tee and approaches and this certainly has this in spades. I really liked the Hogs Back hole (11 ?) as I went for it and even with my slightly off tempo swing just caught the left side and my drive rolled down to a nice spot.
Also very nice visually throughout, particularly those holes around the stream through the middle of the course. Overall 5* for me.

Great natural looking course and I'll reiterate what others are saying about the stream. It looks great with the elevated patches and how it flows around the course and into the river. The bunkering and sculpting are top notch, and a few shots have that do I/don't I scenario. I scored -7 from the Wolf tees (my very own tees, thank you), only negative is I'd like to see the Wolf tees being green not blue (some people will know my petty reason for that 😂). But yeah a great course, thanks for that.

Seems the hole magnets are working well.

Thanks everyone for the feedback and responses so far!
Early-1981 gave Hoback a spin recently. Here's the replay of how he got on!
