Golf in Afton

Afton is the largest community in Star Valley, a long agricultural valley in Lincoln County's southwestern corner flanked by the Wyoming and Salt River mountain ranges. The town serves as the commercial hub for the surrounding dairy farms and ranches that define Star Valley's economy. The Name Elk Refuge and the nearby Bridger-Teton National Forest provide wildlife viewing and outdoor recreation opportunities that complement the valley's agricultural character. Afton's compact Main Street, the Intermountain Christian College, and the local schools reflect a community with strong roots in the LDS faith tradition that has shaped much of rural western Wyoming. The Periodic Spring, a natural intermittent spring in the Swift Creek Canyon above Afton, is one of the largest cold-water intermittent springs in the world and a remarkable geological feature that draws curious visitors to this corner of the state.
