Wyoming’s Golf Capital with deer, antelope and 81 holes of world-class golf!
Nestled in the arms of the Big Horn Mountains lies Wyoming’s Golf Capital, Sheridan – The West at its Best! Rich in western history, this fine and friendly locale lies central to four of the state’s finest golf courses — all within a 35 mile radius of this warm and bustling community.
Tee off at The Powder Horn, offering a 27-hole championship course which is rated in GolfWeek’s top 100 again this year. Every measure was taken to preserve the natural beauty surrounding the Powder Horn. The Mountain Nine features a replica of the famous Swilcan Burn Bridge at St. Andrews, along with the open rolling terrain found on a Scottish links course, with large greens and 30 sizeable sand bunkers. The Stag Nine features target golf with an Old West flavor, waterside holes and a natural routing. Rounding out the course’s 27 holes is the Eagle Nine, featuring surprising length and creative shot making opportunities, within a mix of meadow and creekside terrain. In addition to championship golf, The Powder Horn’s master plan consists of 700 home and patio home sites on just over 900 acres of land.
The Kendrick Golf Course, established in 1935, is a course of premiere beauty located 3 miles from town, and flanked on the west by the Big Horn Mountains. Kendrick has the distinction of being rated in the top 5 courses in the State of Wyoming by Golf Digest magazine. With 18 holes, 6,800 yards and a par of 72, this course offers premiere golf and practice facilities for every part of your game. Kendrick has a fully-stocked pro shop and full-service restaurant. Private lessons are available from a PGA golf instructor for groups, individuals and for all levels of play. This course offers some of the lowest rates in the region and tournaments for every player.
Located within the city limits, Sheridan Country Club, offers nine greens with separate tee boxes for 18 hole play. Big Horn Mountain vistas are viewed from every hole. A fully stocked pro shop fills out the amenities of this reasonably-priced course.
Located in Johnson County just miles down the road is the Buffalo Golf Club. Fun to play, this complete facility is set at the base of the Big Horns with mature, tree-lined fairways. This course offers lots of up and down play with duplication of par beginning at the twelfth hole.
Besides championship and reasonably-priced golf, historic Sheridan provides abundant entertainment through specialty shopping, excellent restaurants, cultural opportunities including rodeo and performances at the WYO Theater. Museums, battlesites, historic homes round out every visitor’s experience. Recreational activities for every outdoor enthusiast are unlimited in the Bighorn National Forest. Enjoy polo every Sunday throughout the summer months.
Sheridan is located only 130 miles south of Billings, Montana and midway between the Black Hills and Yellowstone on I-90.
