Bob Corbett, a local architect no longer residing in Jackson Hole, developed Golf Creek Ranch. Bob was also responsible for designing the Grand Teton Music Festival Hall known today as the Walk Festival Hall. The 25 Golf Creek Ranch condominiums are situated on Lot 39, Third Filing, Jackson Hole Golf and Tennis Estates. The breakdown of the 1978/1979 units is as follows: two 4-bedroom 4-bath units, one 3-bedroom 3-bath unit, four 2-bedroom plus loft 2-bath units, and eight 2-bedroom 2-bath units. The units generally sell furnished. Homeowner's fees are paid quarterly and include water, sewer, garbage pickup, exterior maintenance of the buildings and grounds, and cable television hookup. The Jackson Hole Golf and Tennis Estates provide water and sewer. A word of caution: Golf Creek Ranch condominiums, built by Bancroft Construction in 1978/1979 were constructed primarily for summer use. Construction employs 2x4 walls and minimum insulation. Many homeowners have taken steps to ensure that their units are more winter worthy.
