Powder Horn Golf Community, Mountain/Stag Course, Sheridan, Wyoming Ranked Among the Best Residential and Modern Golf Courses in the Country by Golfweek Magazine

The Powder Horn Golf Community in Sheridan, Wyoming features 27 holes of golf with its Eagle, Mountain and Stag nines. The Mountain-Stag combination is one of the most highly rated courses in the Northwest.

The Mountain course features the open, rolling terrain reminiscent of Scottish links-style golf courses. The course also features large greens and 30 good-sized sand bunkers. As a nod to the game of golf's birthplace, the Mountain nine also features a small replica of the famous Swilcan Burn Bridge.

On the Stag nine, the course plays to more of a target-golf orientation. Woods and wetlands are the order of the day on this layout, with native rough lining all the fairways and water hazards strategically placed throughout.

Some of the most noteworthy holes on the Mountain course include No. 1, where the St. Andrews' replica bridge crosses the fairway just short of the green. This par-4 hole plays to only 350 yards from the Championship tees and features a wide-open fairway.

Hole No. 5 is named "Goosedubs,'' which means water hazard. This par-4 plays to 420 yards from the longest tees and doglegs left around a boot-shaped lake. The approach shot to an elevated green is the tricky part on this hole, as it requires a carry over the lake to an elevated green snuggled up against the water.

Hole No. 8 is named "Deil's Creek,'' which translates to the "Devil's Fishing Basket.'' A par-3 that plays too 202 yards from the back tees, the hole calls for a carry over a lake to long, narrow green guarded by bunkers left and right.

Hole No. 1 (10 overall) on the Stag course begins the journey into the Old West. The shortest hole on the course, this par-4 plays to only 335 yards from the longest tees. It is also one of the most picturesque, as Little Goose Creek runs the length of this dogleg left, while intermittent trees guard both sides of the fairway.

The Mountain-Stag combination has received a number of honors and awards over the years, including being ranked among the Best Residential Golf Courses by Golfweek magazine in 2008, and the country's Top 100 Modern Golf Courses in 2009.

Practice facilities at Powder Horn include a state-of-the-art driving range and practice facility, as well as a 13,000-square-foot putting green. There's also an elegant, 30,000-square-foot clubhouse which is home to a pro shop, bar, patio with fire pits, and restaurant.
