“We are truly excited to have Three Crowns recognized once again by Golfweek Magazine and their esteemed panel of raters,” states Dave Goff, Vice President of Operations for OB Sports Golf Management, the management company that oversees operations of Three Crowns Golf Club. “It is also extremely pleasing to see that Three Crowns has been including in this ranking consistently since the club originally debuted in Golfweek’s state-by-state rankings in March of 2006. That consistency is a testament to everyone’s dedication to ensuring that the Three Crowns golf experience is amongst the best in the region.” added Goff

Three Crowns Golf Club is built on a former Amoco Oil Refinery site in Casper, Wyoming along the North Platte River. The golf course is built atop a remediation project that is ongoing and has turned a former brownfield into a renowned recreational amenity that has become the centerpiece of community pride. The whole site is known as the Platte River Commons which will also comprise a business park, jogging trail, and parks, is about 350 acres in total. Golfing guests of Three Crowns are challenged by eight brilliant water features that come into play on fourteen holes and over eighty sand bunkers that contain eye-catching white sand imported from Idaho. After their round, guests enjoy the inviting clubhouse and restaurant, aptly named the “Filling Station”. The entire facility is themed around the historic refinery and the rich petroleum heritage for which this region is known. The monument sign on each teeing ground is a miniature oil derrick, as is the pewter bag tag sold in the well appointed golf shop. The “Filling Station” adorns décor and artifacts from historic refineries, as well as, a unique menu that utilizes terms from the Oil Industry to identify the names of entrees. Even the name Three Crowns itself is symbolic of the three grades of fuel that used to be sold by Standard Oil/Amoco.
