Played Desert Canyon Golf Course Friday March 5th, in Mountain Home 40 miles South East of Boise. The sun was out , but so was the wind of 15 miles with gusts up to 23 miles per hour. The courses front nine is tree lined with fairly wide fairways. The rough is tougher to hit out of but with firm strokes definitely fair, and there was a few streams running along and across the fairways that come into play. The tee boxes were in good condition but early in the season. The greens firm and rolled faster as the day progressed. Our tee time was 10:45 am.

The back nine lived up to the courses name having far less trees, desert conditions with sage brush and sand if you land outside the first layer of rough, with a canyon running through the back nine. Nice change and definitely added some additional challenges. Staying in the fairway was a definite plus on the back nine. Finished the round in 4:15 minutes so our group of 5 played a decent pace.

Overall I would definitely play this course again. Once the trees leaf out the beauty will go up!
