Idaho Golf Courses
Idaho has 119 golf courses, split almost evenly between nine-hole (about 53) and 18-hole (about 67) layouts. That high ratio of nine-hole tracks reflects the state’s many small mountain and farming communities that maintain affordable local courses. The terrain shifts dramatically across the state, from high-desert sage flats in the Treasure Valley around Boise to dense pine and cedar forests in the northern panhandle near Coeur d’Alene and Post Falls.
Boise holds the densest cluster of courses, with Meridian, Nampa, and Caldwell adding more options in the surrounding valley. Green fees here are moderate by national standards. The Coeur d’Alene area in the north draws destination golfers, and the panhandle corridor extending toward Sandpoint and Liberty Lake has multiple strong layouts at mid-range prices. In central Idaho, McCall offers mountain golf near Payette Lake, while the Sun Valley area provides high-elevation rounds with Sawtooth Range views. Down in the Snake River Plain, Twin Falls has a small cluster of courses on canyon-rim terrain.
The season runs April through October in most areas, though the Boise valley can stretch into early November in mild years and northern mountain courses may not open until May. Eastern Idaho around Idaho Falls and the Teton Valley has a shorter window but rewards golfers with volcanic-soil turf and mountain backdrops. Pricing across the state stays below national averages, with many rural nine-hole courses charging under $20 for a round.
