Golf in Jackpot

Jackpot is a small Elko County community situated directly on the Idaho state line — the Nevada town exists in large part because Idaho prohibits casino gambling, making Jackpot a destination for residents of Twin Falls and other southern Idaho communities crossing the border for entertainment. The town sits at roughly 5,200 feet on a high desert plateau, and Jackpot Golf Club's 18-hole layout (description notes par 72, though hole count is unconfirmed in OSM) serves visitors who combine a stay at the casino hotels with outdoor recreation. The surrounding terrain is Great Basin sage country, and the golf course occupies a setting defined by the horizontal expanse of the Snake River Plain basin.
