Originally opened in 1974, Elkhorn Golf Club was created in the last collaboration between the famous design team of father and son Robert Trent Jones Senior and Junior. After an extensive renovation in 2004, the club reopened in 2005 and was acquired by the Sun Valley Company in July of 2011. Robert Trent Jones Sr. designed the front nine, which is quite hilly, while Robert Trent Jones Jr. designed the back nine which follows a creek and has a water hazard on every hole but one.
With large undulated greens, 7,214 yards long from the tips, and boasting over 100 sand traps and bunkers, Elkhorn will prove to be a test of your golfing abilities. Your concentration on the game of golf will also be challenged, as the vistas ranging from the Elkhorn hillsides to Sun Valley's White Clouds golf course fight for your attention.
Elkhorn Golf Club also offers guests a 16,000 square foot clubhouse that includes a restaurant and bar. Dine in and watch your favorite games on one of two 60" flat screen televisions, or enjoy a more quaint setting on the large patio that sits in the shade most of the day.

Wine can be a polarizing topic. When it surfaces in conversation, it has a way of immediately singling out the glass-swirling wine-buffs in the vicinity, and silencing the rest. Luckily, Cyril Chappellet, the second generation owner of Chappellet Winery in Napa Valley, is here to level the playing field for academics and enthusiasts alike. Standing at least a head taller than most in the room, he remarks decisively that he’s “not here to tell you what’s going on in your mouth.” He will instead offer a rare adventure behind the...
