Sun Valley Golf Course, Championship golf course in Sun Valley, Idaho.
The Trail Creek Course spans about 6,900 yards with mountain views and crosses water multiple times while incorporating strategic sand bunkers across 18 holes. The layout uses natural slopes and wind through tree-lined fairways with elevation changes.
The course opened in 1937 and underwent extensive renovation in 1980 under designers Robert Trent Jones Jr and Gary Linn. This overhaul updated the layout to modern standards while respecting the mountain terrain.
The course draws golfers who value the blend of professional design and natural mountain setting. Visitors from many regions come here to experience how the layout makes use of the alpine environment.
The facility offers a restaurant, pro shop, locker rooms, and a 25-acre practice area with a short course. Equipment rental and storage are available, so you can arrive without bringing your own gear.
Golfers must cross Trail Creek seven times during the front nine holes, creating a recurring challenge that demands focus and accuracy. These repeated water crossings make the front side a test of mental endurance.
