BanBury Golf Course is hands down my go-to spot for golf in the Treasure Valley. It is not only…read morebeautifully designed but also rich in history. BanBury, a public course in Eagle thoughtfully designed by John Harbottle III, has consistently ranked among Idaho's top 10 public courses by Golf Digest for nearly two decades. The course flows gently along the South Channel of the Boise River and offers both challenge and charm. It was the first in our area to host a USGA championship, the U.S. Junior Girls. They are also adding a new simulator building next to Harvey's, their on-site restaurant. The space will feature three TrackMan simulators, full club-fitting services, and direct access to the bar, which sounds perfect for practice or a post-round hangout. My favorite part is sharing this place with friends. The golf course is pristine and welcoming. The staff is phenomenal, especially their PGA pro Drew, who gave me two lessons and runs fantastic group clinics. I always leave feeling more confident on the green. The restaurant side is just as amazing. The team, especially Law, knows our order so well that last visit he brought us our Arnold Palmers before we even asked. We always round out our day with lunch. Chicken tacos, Caesar salad, Reubens, burgers -- the food never disappoints. For evening golf or dinner, their prime rib and salmon are standout dishes. BanBury offers a flawless blend of great golf, excellent instruction, warm hospitality, and delicious food. I highly recommend it whether you are there to play, to eat, or just to spend time with friends.

Played Banbury this weekend on a visit to town. One of the premier courses in Boise for decades,…read morethe decline of this course has been rapid since the departure of the original management team and greens keeper. Once the best public course within hundreds of miles, is now a shell of itself. What used to be a destination for me any time I was around, has become a once a year stop at the most. It's upsetting, especially considering how high the demand is in Boise for an elite public golf course. This weekends round was made especially miserable because of two factors the course absolutely had control over. The first being that myself (single digit handicap) and my partner (mid-handicap) were paired with two young men in their 20's, one of which had never played before. Needless to say, he was miserable, as were we. I had to buy drinks for the group behind us to apologize. Most egregious however, was that the course decided to let a group of FIVE people out in the middle of a Sunday afternoon, to film some Tik-Tok Golf Influencer "content". Our front nine, playing behind these folks took over 2 hours and 45 minutes, but then after the turn Hole 10 took 31 minutes BY ITSELF! By hole 14 we had decided to go ahead of them, and then were verbally accosted by the group as if wed done something inappropriate. And all of this cost me well over $100. The course conditions were mediocre and torn up, and it was crowded and slow even without the influencers. Highlights included awesome service from the folks in the restaurant and bar, and the young lady driving the beverage cart. All of which were affable, friendly, and made sure to take great care of us. Also the gentlemen in the Pro Shop were very professional, and understood my frustrations when I went to speak with them post round. I won't be back to Banbury this year. Might not be back again unless there's major changes to the operations and standards at Banbury Golf Club. Here's hoping that happens, because it sucks to see a world class golf course end up like that.

This private club looks and seems like a fun place. A philanthropy dinner meeting brought me here…read morefor the first time, and I peeked around. The clubhouse has had a recent renovation and is beautiful. I'm sharing this review in hopes it might help someone decide whether they apply for membership here. Currently, there is not much info on the food/beverage situation both on the website and on Yelp. We preordered our meals from a selection set by our group, so I have not seen a full menu. I ordered a club sandwich with french fries, and they were delicious. The bread is buttery toasted with quality tasting ham, turkey and bacon. Lettuce, tomato and cheddar cheese. However, they put A LOT of mayo on it too. The amount of French fries was huge! Good thing they reheat well in an air fryer. Service was fine, but she really didn't talk much, no real engagement with anyone. It also took forever to get whatever was asked for (side of dressing, ketchup and a ToGo box at the end) This establishment charges a 20% service fee "for better employee wages" but it was not told to us in advance (maybe it is posted on the menu I wasn't privy to). The bar area looked fun, clean and comfortable with a really great outdoor patio too. I asked the manager if the club was public or private and even though it is private was the public able to eat/drink here?Unfortunately, the answer is No, or I would come back to try more food. The club has lots of amenities and looked like a very lively place.

One of the most well known Boise courses is Hillcrest, home to the annual Korn Ferry Tour event and recognize as one of the premier private Country Clubs in the region. What sets HCCC apart for me are several factors. First of all, the course is in fantastic condition. Beautifully maintained, with challenging greens and nice landscaping. The course is flatter than some of my favorites, and I prefer some rolling hills and changes in elevation like Pumpkin Ridge outside Portland. However, the combination of playability and challenge is fantastic at Hillcrest. Another outstanding feature is the Professional Golf Staff and Management. The Head Pro, Brian McKinley is among the best I've ever met! And the Director of Instruction, Mark Johnson is warm, knowledgeable and an excellent resource. The Management has changed in the past few years, bringing a completely different and substantially more professional approach to the Member/Guest experience. I'm always impressed when the individuals in charge are working alongside their staff, bussing tables, refilling drinks, etc. The idea is that they're all in this together, working in lock step to provide a great experience. And that's a well run club and course! They've also really improved the experience from the Cart Guys/Girls, and Pro Shop employees. They're courteous, professional and under Brian's leadership, have become much more efficient with things like registrations, equipment sourcing, re-gripping and alike. I still would like to see cart guys/girls greeting guests at their cars to grab clubs and show them where to go to practice, etc. But that's improved as well. Overall, Hillcrest Country Club is the best private course in Boise by a lot. I enjoy getting to play there when I'm in town, and recommend it highly to anyone looking for a great community for their families to belong to.

Unprofessional and Disrespectful Hiring Process…read more I'm writing this review to express my frustration with the way Crane Creek Country Club has handled their hiring process. As someone who lives in the Highlands and was genuinely interested in contributing to their team this summer, I expected at least a basic level of communication and professionalism, but that was far from my experience. I first reached out to Crane Creek on April 25th, sending my resume to most of the email addresses listed on their employment page. Unfortunately, their website doesn't list any current openings, so I treated it as an inquiry rather than a formal application. I followed up on May 9th and received no response. Later, colleagues with connections to the club helped me get in touch with someone on the leadership team. I sent my completed application and resume again on June 2nd, just in case there was any confusion. On June 12th, I received multiple calls from an unknown number with no voicemail left. When they finally did leave a message, it was Jared Gion from Crane Creek. We had a productive 20-minute conversation about a golf course maintenance position, and I went down to the club within the hour to meet with a staff member named Ryan. He was friendly but brief, stating the next steps would be either a second interview or to come in and start work after filling out another application. Since then, I have called Jared multiple times over the past two weeks and have received absolutely no response--no email, no voicemail, nothing. The complete lack of follow-up, after taking time out of my day to meet with them and demonstrating flexibility and genuine interest in the position, is both highly unprofessional and frankly disrespectful. I understand that not every inquiry or interview leads to a job--but clear communication is the bare minimum in any professional setting. If a company can't extend the courtesy of letting you know whether or not you're moving forward, that says a lot about how they value people. Potential applicants: proceed with caution. And to Crane Creek: you can and should do better.

Right out the gates is a short, testy, hard dog leg left that really has you thinking about your club selection. Followed by a long par three and a blind downhill par 4. Then you can settle in a bit. There are a lot of parallel fairways and not a whole lot of signs to help direct you where the tee boxes are so bring a golf app and keep your eyes open cause there isn't any GPS on the carts either. Most of the fairways were in good condition. And the greens were average speed, and some were very narrow. Although they didn't have a cart girl and one of the two water stations was empty, the course layout does bring you back to the club house a couple times on the front and back to refill on beverages and hydrate. Be careful if you're playing blues on 18, it's a steep dirt path up and you'll almost certainly slip and fall on the way down.

This hidden gem is located in Caldwell, Idaho…read more(well, not really IN Caldwell, if in Caldwell at all it is at the most extreme of outskirts) and about 35 minutes from Boise. TimberStone is a welcome relief to house lined fairways. The course, just a few years old, is maturing nicely. Fairways have filled in and are approaching the lush scale. Greens are excellent, receptive and true. Obviously, this was once farm land because the only trees on the course have been planted and, at this time, present no problem. But give those trees a few more years and it will be another story. TimberStone is a nice layout, with four sets of tees - Red, White, Green and Yellow, with red being the longest, yellow the shortest. We played the whites, and the yardage was very challenging, but fair. My only complaint is, that as a senior, they have two par threes that measure 200 yds. or more. Makes one pucker up a bit.
