A bird’s-eye view of the new White Clouds Course at Sun Valley in Idaho can be seen on the resort’s Web site.

Architect Donald Knott designed the course, scheduled to open this summer. Knott, who worked with Robert Trent Jones Jr. for many years, was chief architect on several of the world’s best-rated courses, including the Prince Course at Princeville Resort in Kaua‘i, Hawaii. Knott was also chief architect of the Trail Creek Course at Sun Valley, which the Trent Jones Jr. firm redesigned in 1978-79.

In addition to White Clouds Course, Sun Valley is unveiling several other new amenities this summer: a 58,000-square-foot golf clubhouse, which includes an indoor practice facility and serves as the Nordic Skiing Center in the winter; an 18-hole putting course; a 12-acre practice facility; and a pavilion where top classical and other musicians from around the world perform in the Sun Valley Summer Symphony.
