Why Shooting Star is a Golfing Gem
This club is not just another pretty face. Located in one of the most expensive neighborhoods, Shooting Star has a rich history that dates back to the 1930s when the Resor family founded the Snake River Ranch. Fast forward to today, and you have a stunning, $130 million golf course sprawling across 250 acres, all while embracing breathtaking views without any housing developments encroaching on your game.
When Shooting Star opened its doors in 2009, membership came with a hefty price tag of $100,000, a figure that surely hasn’t dwindled over time, though current rates remain top secret. The allure is undeniable, as there’s a long waitlist for potential members, and joining this club is strictly by invitation. This exclusivity gives Shooting Star the feel of being part of an exclusive inner circle.
A Gold Standard Course Designed by the Best
Lovers of the game will appreciate the fact that the course was crafted by renowned architect Tom Fazio, famed for designing luxurious, high-profile golf courses. The transformation involved reshaping the landscape, moving an incredible 2 million cubic yards of dirt, and planting over 2,500 trees. Golfers will be challenged by eight holes that tease with water hazards, bringing both beauty and complexity into play.
Golf Digest couldn’t rave enough about the club’s impeccable conditioning, stunning views, and the natural flow of the layout that feels like it’s always belonged to the landscape. With PGA pro Ben Polland at the helm, you can be sure that both amateurs and professionals will find their skills put to the ultimate test on this poky yet picturesque course.
Luxurious Amenities to Enhance Your Experience
Step into the clubhouse, and you might feel like you just entered a luxurious ranch filled with all the trimmings. Complete with a 25-meter lap pool and adorned with realistic cattle paintings and animal skulls, the ambiance truly reflects the region’s rugged charm, surrounded by wood and leather to evoke the spirit of the outdoors.
This club doesn’t just cater to golf either; it transforms into a winter wonderland when the snow falls. The Alpine Barn serves as the main hub for skiing, boasting nearly 200 lockers, complimentary food, and movie showings to warm up your evenings! Plus, you can’t help but love the shuttle service whisking you off to nearby slopes when you’re ready to hit the slopes.
