Rolling Fairways and Flowing Waterways... Families Enjoy Both in Idaho

The sun is high in the sky and lush grass covers the fairways.   From lakeside greens in Northern Idaho to mountain landscapes in the southern part of the State, Idaho’s golf courses are officially open.

The Idaho Golf Trail is a golfer’s playground, with four loops in different regions of the State and 14 courses of world-class golfing.  While each loop offers fabulous courses, there is plenty to do around those courses to entertain the whole family.  Each loop is unique and offers courses of varying difficulty situated in or near resort-style settings which means plenty of activities nearby.   Read more.
