Jug Mountain Public (for now) 18 hole course that meanders through Idaho’s pines and farm fields. A few miles south of Mc Call. Really nice layout. Out on 1 and back in on 18. Would be an easy walk but some holes are far apart. For a seasonal course (about 5700 ft. elev.) greens in good shape but not perfect. Fairways are good and wide. Rough is killer of the tees so don’t miss. From the blues a bunch of 454 yd par fours. Hole 16 is one great par 5. Pick your tee boxes with care. Super value for $60 includes cart. Fun bar and proshop. Road trip worthy. I would love to make this my home course. My rating A-.
Would travel: 60-120 Miles, Vacation Worthy
Bottom line: Better than average course for the area, Bargain priced based on quality and competitive area pricing, Ranks with the best in this price level
