Course Report

Because of the altitude at nearly 6,000 feet, the course plays shorter than its listed yardage, providing added distance for players on most shots.

About

Teton Springs (Headwaters) is a scenic 18-hole course in Victor, Idaho, designed by Byron Nelson, Steve Jones, and Gary Stephenson. Opened in 2004, it blends mountain views and water hazards throughout its layout, winding through residential areas at 6,000 feet elevation. The par 72 track delivers a challenging but fair test, complemented by robust practice facilities.

Caddie Tip

Bring plenty of balls and pay attention to water hazards, which are in play on many holes. Altitude gives your shots extra yardage, so club down when calculating approach shots. Plan conservatively on doglegs and long par 4s, focusing on positioning to avoid big numbers.

The Main Challenge

The most difficult part of the course is managing the frequent water hazards, which are strategically placed to challenge tee shots and approaches. The doglegs and forced carries require planning, while large, undulating greens test putting skill. The demanding closing stretch, especially the 18th, requires precision under pressure.

The Good

Golfers consistently highlight the dramatic mountain setting with stunning Teton backdrops, paired with the diversity of holes and abundance of water features. The design rewards thoughtful play and shotmaking, and the course's peaceful, uncrowded atmosphere adds to the resort experience.

The Not So Good

Some players mention that the flat routing around residential areas reduces the sense of seclusion on a few holes. Pace of play can slow during peak times, and the wind, combined with forced carries over water, can add to the challenge for higher handicap players.
