However, after the 6th holes, an employee approached us and repeatedly told us to speed up, then followed our group for a couple of holes . This was frustrating because we were already keeping pace with the group ahead of us, who were playing slowly. Golf is not an inexpensive, and experience like this take away from what should be an enjoyable day. We felt rushed and uncomfortable rather than welcomed as a paying customers. Unfortunately, because of this interaction, we won't be returning.

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.

A great place to hang after a round a golf, as well as a destination to bike to right off the Greenbelt. The servers are really friendly, and seem to genuinely enjoy working there. I appreciate that you order at the counter, are given a buzzer, can pick your own seat, then the buzzer will go off when your food is ready. It keeps the clubhouse feeling very relaxed and we don't feel rushed to eat and go after a long round of golf. I would highly recommend stopping in and checking out the updated clubhouse.

With that said, it was the most rewarding day ever. Bill never pushed us along, in fact he made sure that we tried many club heads, shafts, loft adjustments, and even grips. Let's just say that I've done a process like this before and ended up with a nice set of clubs, but they were "off the shelf", and "their" fitting was NOT a fitting. I can't comment on the club build yet but the process with Bill Greene at the Meridian Idaho store was fantastic!! Highly recommend doing a true full bag fitting.

Only paid members can enter which makes it feel quiet and exclusive. They have cubbies and lockers for your belongings, plus a bathroom with cute golf ball wallpaper that adds a fun touch. There are three simulators with a wide variety of ways to play including longest drive competitions, closest to the hole, playing 9 or 18 holes, and other game options. It is a great setup for practicing your swing or just having some fun. There is also a counter, sink, and tables so it is easy to host or entertain a group while you are there. Even though no staff members are present on site, everything was easy to navigate and well maintained. This was a great space for our ladies golf event and I would definitely return.

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.
