(Sun Valley, Idaho)- Historic Sun Valley Resort’s (sunvalley.com) Trail Creek golf course has been named to Golfweek’s 2013 Best-in-State ranking.
A classic Robert Trent Jones, Jr. design, it has also garnered numerous accolades from Golf Digest and GOLF Magazine.
“Trail Creek is timeless, with stunning views of Bald Mountain, the Wood River Valley and its namesake creek,” says Rick Hickman, director of golf operations at Sun Valley. “It’s a joy to play and a perpetual favorite among guests and locals.”
The parkland-style layout, one of three at Sun Valley, has opened its 2013 tee sheet and anticipates a late-April opening. The recently released spring Early Birdie golf package includes a round of golf and overnight accommodations, starting at $124 per person, double occupancy through June 9.
The resort began renovations of Trail Creek’s first hole last year and anticipates an early July completion.
The golf experience at iconic Sun Valley Resort is complemented by a series of active-lifestyle pursuits including hiking, biking, ice skating, horseback riding, fly fishing and a summer concert series. Lodging accommodations include cottages, condominiums, the Sun Valley Inn and the Sun Valley Lodge.
