Links-Style Golf at Grand Teton Club: The Ground Game
In links-style golf, the shot does not end when the ball lands. On firm, fast ground, the contours become part of the strategy, carrying a low-running ball toward the flag or turning it away.
Links-style golf rewards more than power. It rewards imagination, patience, and the ability to see how the ball will move after it lands.
At Grand Teton Club, Craig Haltom’s New American Links-Style course is taking shape beneath the Teton Range, built by Oliphant Golf. The routing follows the site’s natural basins, ridgelines, rolls, and dips, using the existing landforms to create width, strategy, and multiple lines of play.
Wide playing corridors. Firm, fast surfaces. Open approaches that invite the ball to run onto the green. Strategic bunkering and contoured greens that ask players to consider not only where a shot lands, but how it gets there.
Read the slope correctly, and the ground can carry the ball toward the flag. Choose the wrong line, and the same contour can turn it away. That uncertainty is what makes the ground game so compelling.
The walking-first design keeps players connected to every rise and fall in the landscape, with the Teton Range framing every hole.
