Shoots in the 80s

Played this sweetheart 7-11-07. Wonderful old (1936) course in terrific shape. Design is pretty basic, space is at a premium, so most holes parallel another, with intervening mature trees. Course is very flat, and walkable. Only three par 5's, all less than 503 yards, BUT there are six par 4's over 400 yards, including two 440-yard monsters back-to-back. There are also five par 3's, three of which are near or over 200 yards! The shorter par 4's have very narrow fairways, so be prepared to punch out. Greens are pretty small by contemporary standards, don't have any contour to speak of, and hold fairly well. Very little sand, and there probably should be more. Conditions today: tee boxes were excellent: fairways were superb - country club level: greens were excellent, very smooth and true: bunkers were excellent. There is no rough to speak of on the course, and the second cut is short enough to be forgiving. Everyone in Idaho Falls is very proud of this course, which has a Golf Digest ranking of 4.5 stars, and their civic pride is quite justifiable. This is a gem of a course, and I highly recommend it.

Customer Service

Shoot in the 80s

Currently my home course. Lovely well established tree lined layout over formerly barren sagebrush covered lava flows. 50+ years later it's one the area's best. Old log clubhouse (vintage WPA) with wonderful staff and pro. Several long par 4's that play down tree lined alleys. Greens have been rough the past few years but seem to be coming back. The community is pround of this sweetheart and it can be tough to get on at times.
