Powell Golf Club

About Powell Golf Club

You'd be hard-pressed to find a more authentic small-town golf experience than this gem tucked away in northwest Wyoming's Big Horn Basin. The course sits beneath the dramatic backdrop of the Absaroka Range, where the mountain views alone justify the green fee. What sets this track apart is its unpretentious, old-school character. This isn't some resort course trying to impress anyone, just honest golf that rewards good shots and punishes poor ones without any gimmicks. The conditioning punches well above its weight class for a municipal course, and the staff clearly takes pride in presenting firm, fast conditions that let the ball run. Walking is not only allowed but encouraged here, which speaks to both the manageable layout and the refreshing lack of pace-of-play paranoia you'll find at stuffier facilities. At 4.6 stars from local players who know good value when they see it, Powell delivers exactly what you want from a road-trip discovery, memorable golf in a spectacular setting without the pretense or price tag of destination courses.
