Played River Birch a week ago, customer service was great and efficient teed off on time at 9:21am, a bit chilly in the mid 40’s and breezy but playable weather. The tee boxes were in very good condition with a few divot marks, the fairways and rough were in very good condition only a few divot marks. The sand traps were reasonably soft and easy to hit out of and the greens get smoother each week with only a few still bumpy at times. Overall a very enjoyable round, and still one of my favorite courses in the Boise area.

Played Eagle Hills two weeks ago, love the course layout and beauty but the course has not been maintained well during the winter and into the Spring. The greens, fairways and rough were thin with bare spots and many divots un-repaired the tee boxes were in the worst shape I have seen, with many divot marks and some uneven stances. Love the course but will not play again until it is in better condition.

Played Falcon Crest Golf Club two weeks ago. Tee time of 12:35pm, got off a few minutes early with a POP in 3 hours 20 minutes! Greens fee with a cart was $55, very worthwhile! After the cold winter the course was in great shape tee boxes were lush with only a few thin spots the fairways were lush and still firm allowing for great rolls adding to your drives. The rough was fairly thin and 1 inch sometimes less with minimal impact hitting out of. The sand traps were in good condition soft and easy to hit out of, the greens were soft occasionally firm and rolled medium fast to fast.

Overall a great course to play. The course will become private by the end of this year, plan on playing again. One special not on the 10th hole signature par three (the green is in the shape of a Falcon) a 136 yard (from the white tees) over water I hit my first hole in one into a brisk 15 mile an hour wind. It to 47 years but was very exciting! I recommend playing Falcon Crest if you are in the area!

Played River Birch Thursday, had two tee times at 12:50 and 1pm the weather was cooler but nice at times when the sun came out. Staff are always friendly and helpful got our two groups out right on time though the course was very busy. The course had some extensive work done, the tee boxes had been worked on the grass was lusher and sanded again allowing tees to go in the ground much easier. The fairways allowed for great roll for good drives, the rough slightly lusher and the greens showed the biggest improvement. The greens were much smoother and rolled just as fast maybe a little faster. Was not in the sand traps but they looked reasonably good.

Overall a great round and very enjoyable! I’m joining a group that plays every Monday so will have tips as I get to know the course better! Playing Timberstone Golf Course Thursday for the first time, looking forward to it, though the weather is expected to be in the high 30’s low 40’s.

Played 9 holes at River Birch today with a tee time of 9:58am, the temperature was 36 when we teed off,ended the round at 47 degrees. The wind was almost non existent which made the conditions comfortable. The staff were friendly and helpful and got us out right on time.

Considering the course had the snow melt off a week ago the course was very playable. The tee boxes were sanded recently but that helped to push the tee into the very firm ground. A bonus from firm fairways was decent roll which extended a good drive. The greens were firm so you had to play expecting the ball to bounce and roll more. The greens were fairly bumpy but were also fast.

Overall a very enjoyable round. Always enjoy playing River Birch!

Played Scotch Pines today in a scramble format tournament with a shotgun start at 10am. Check in was easy and smooth the staff were very friendly and the cart was comfortable with plenty of power. The course has some beautiful views of the mountains north and East of Payette Idaho. The course was extremely enjoyable with tree lined fairways many elevation changes. Definitely have to place your drives properly with many doglegs both left and right to keep the trees out of play. For long hitters you need to be in the fairways to take advantage with a mix of short, medium and long par 4s. Most of the par 5s are reachable in two for long hitters if you keep your drives out of the trees.

The tee boxes had a few holes with divot damage but were mainly in good to very good condition. The fairways and rough were lush and reasonably easy to hit from leaving divots which we all replaced. Sand traps were in good condition and reasonably soft to hit from. Most greens were soft playing at a medium speed. A few were a little bumpy from being punched two weeks earlier. I loved the course and will definitely play this course again!

It is in Payette Idaho approximately 1 hour west of Boise. I feel the course is worth the drive if you are in the area!

Played Shadow Valley Friday with a 5:30 tee time, check in was quick and easy paid $35 with a cart, warmed up and went to the first tee. POP was 3.5, even with waiting at a couple tee boxes.

The course is in great shape including the greens which were punched 2 1/2 weeks ago they still rolled true with only a couple still bumpy a little. The tee boxes were in great condition the fairways the same, the sand traps were easy to get out of and were soft. The rough was lush and fair to hit out of with firm strokes. Always a great course to play with amazing views of the Boise foothills. One of my favorite courses to play!

Played BanBury Golf Course Thursday morning with a tee time of 11:54, but were called up 15 minutes early. The staff in the club house were friendly and efficient we got our electric cart which was very comfortable and plenty of power. BanBury has nice practice facilities with grass driving range, practice chipping greens and sand traps and a nice large putting green. POP was 3.5 hours with waiting at at least 4 holes.

The course itself was in immaculate condition, part of the extra cost-$72 with cart. The tee boxes were lush with only a couple with some divot damage, the fairways and rough were lush, though players did not seem to be replacing the divots they created with turf or sand. The sand traps were in good condition and the maintenance crew were refreshing them with new sand. The greens were in excellent shape running very smooth, though a few had divot damage which was under repair and I fixed two or three each green. The course had multiple fingers of the Boise River running through it with many trees and sand traps all of which can come into play!

I plan on playing BanBury again though not frequently due to the cost compared to the many great courses here in the Boise area!

Played Eagle Hills Tuesday, 8/3/21 with a 7:25 tee time. Check in was smooth and easy, got our cart and headed to the first tee. POP was 3:20 minutes, we only waited on the first tee box. The tee boxes were in very good condition lush with only a few having divot damage. We played from the white tees. The fairways were lush with one or two having a few thin areas, the rough was lush mainly 1-3” with some ares pushing 4-5 inches. The rough was playable with firm strokes, the sand traps appeared to have been refreshed with new sand and very playable, the greens were soft and lush and held shots well.

Have heard the irrigation water will be shut down in early September due to low water levels which may impact course conditions. I’ll keep updating conditions. For now each course I have played has been in good to very good condition! Recommend Eagle Hills with it’s beautiful tree lined fairways and some great views of the Boise foothills.

Played Warm Springs GC today with a 9:54am tee time. The staff were friendly and helpful checking in went very smoothly. Practice range was from artificial green mats. There was a couple practice greens one with a sand trap, though the practice greens were in just ok conditions. POP WAS 4 1/2 hours and we waited at at least 10 holes. Saw one Marshall on the front nine.

Once on the first tee found the tee boxes in good to very good shape with some divot damage but all level and lush. Played the White tees. The fairways were wet but lush mainly with a few thin. The rough was lush but with a firm stroke playable unless the ball was deep in. Then would club up and take a firmer stroke. The sand traps were thin but playable chipped on in and left another 6” from the cup, it was a good sand day! The greens were the highlight! Mainly very smooth with one maybe two greens slightly bumpy, rolling medium fast some with breaks a few with minor undulations. The fairways were mainly tree lined though most gave generous landing zones. Water came into play on many holes through the course. There were a couple elevated tees but mainly a flat course with some doglegs.

Had a very good time, worth the fee, planning on playing again.

Played Boise Ranch Golf Course today with a 9:07 tee time. Checked in early warmed, up the range was grass, but very thin. There was nice chip and putt greens with a sand trap in between in very good condition. Staff were great, and called us up a couple minutes early. POP was 3:45 riding, temperature was 94 at tee off, but is an easily walkable course.
Played from the Gold tees and enjoyed the course!

Conditions were good overall the tee boxes needing the most improvement, there were many divot marks, and a few boxes had bare spots. The fairways were lush at times thin, with many being somewhat wet. Fairways allowed for decent roll. The rough was lush with some thin spots and could affect your shot. The greens were in good condition mainly lush with a few thin spots but had lots of ball marks that were smoothed out but some greens were bumpy. Pace was medium some with undulations but there were some tricky reads. The sand traps were in good to excellent shape! Water comes into play on multiple holes on the front and back nines with one of the par threes requiring total carry.

Over all an enjoyable course to play and worth the $42 with a cart fee. I will be playing Boise Ranch again.

Played Sand Hollow Tuesday June 29th with a tee time of 4:30pm. Check in went smooth and quickly paying $58 with a sleeve of ProV1s, summer time prices. We picked up our carts, loaded up and were ready to start when the wind hit at 25-30 mile per hour gusts and sand clouds. We decided to wait. The winds died down about 25 minutes later and we teed off at 5pm. Temperature was still 98 degrees we had plenty of water to stay hydrated.

The course was in immaculate condition from tee box to green. Very green lush, with perfect mowing stripes. The red sand traps were beautiful and good to hit out of, they were well placed and abundant in number. The fairways were soft but still allowed for reasonable roll, the rough was lush and could grab your ball coming out but not unfairly. The greens rolled fast and with a good approach shot soft enough to hold. Plenty of undulations and tricky breaks, rolling fast to medium fast, but fair.

Will definitely play this course again especially at summer rates, well worth the price. We finished our round in 3:45 minutes so good POP. Finished our short golf vacation with a great course! Highly recommend playing Sand Hollow if you get a chance, the views, particularly from the back nine were spectacular!
