Course Report
Falcon Crest has received acclaim as one of the most beautiful and challenging courses in Idaho, featuring waterfalls, ponds, and unique train trestle bridges.
About
Falcon Crest Golf Club, designed to challenge golfers of all levels, features 27 championship holes and a 9-hole executive course set amid Idaho’s rolling farm country. The course offers stunning views, well-maintained fairways and greens, and is known for its variety of layouts, including water hazards and dramatic landscaping.
Caddie Tip
Play conservatively off the tee if the wind is up—club selection is critical due to frequent breezes across the course. Avoid aiming straight at water hazards when unsure; favor safer landing zones, especially on approach shots. Keep an eye on green slopes, as putts can be deceivingly quick.
The Main Challenge
Wind is often the course’s toughest variable, making club selection difficult and increasing the challenge on exposed holes. Water comes into play on several holes, demanding accuracy and course management, especially on approach shots to well-protected greens.
The Good
Golfers love the course’s blend of scenic Idaho vistas, challenging water features, and the variety of holes that test all aspects of their game. Falcon Crest stands out for its exceptionally maintained greens, strategic layout, and friendly, welcoming atmosphere, making it a local favorite.
The Not So Good
Some players wish the fairways and tee boxes received the same attention as the greens, which are often excellent. After busy periods, pace of play can slow, and some bunkers could use more consistent sand quality. Many hope for expanded or refreshed clubhouse facilities.
Signature Hole:
#
18
