FAQ
Get answers to common questions about playing The Idaho Club and what to expect.
The Idaho Club presents a demanding test. The slope of 144.0 places it firmly in the upper difficulty tier. The course rating of 74.4 reflects on scoring relative to par 72.
A 15 handicap golfer should consider tees closer to 6016 yards. The back tees extend to 7089.0 yards, which makes approach shots longer and scoring more challenging.
With a course rating of 74.4 and par 72, a mid-handicap golfer would typically score in the mid to high 80s. Stronger players aiming to break 72 must manage approach shots and avoid penalty strokes.
At a full length of 7089.0 yards, it requires solid mid-to-long iron play.
Architecturally, it reflects a Parkland style. Overall, the setup will reward players who place the ball in safe positions far from hazards. Also, type of shot is more crucial rather than just trying to gain distance.
The combination of a slope rating of 144.0 and yardage reaching 7089.0 yards creates consistent pressure on approach shots. You will need to balance risk and reward, especially on longer par 4s and protected greens.
