The short answer
The City of Boise runs two public golf courses, Warm Springs and Quail Hollow, and their 2026 regular-season walking rates for 18 holes run from $47 on weekdays to $55 on weekends. That is close to Portland's Eastmoreland at $51 Monday through Thursday, and below San Jose Municipal's $64 weekend rate. Boise's regular season runs March 1 through October 31.

How does golf in Boise compare with the West Coast?
If you're moving to Boise from California, Oregon, or Washington for Micron, golf comes down to what a round costs, when the season runs, and how far the courses are from the campus at 8000 S. Federal Way. The rates below are each course's own published 2026 rates for 18 holes.
| Course | Monday to Thursday, 18 holes | Weekend, 18 holes |
|---|---|---|
| Warm Springs Golf Course (City of Boise, walking) | $47 | $50 (Friday to Sunday) |
| Quail Hollow Golf Course (City of Boise, walking) | $50 | $55 (Friday to Sunday) |
| San Jose Municipal Golf Course | $47 | $64 (Saturday and Sunday; $50 on Friday) |
Portland's Eastmoreland Golf Course lists $51 for 18 holes Monday through Thursday in its 2026 summer rates. On weekdays the prices are close. On weekends, Boise's two city courses come in below San Jose Municipal.
Warm Springs and Quail Hollow both publish their regular-season rates for March 1 through October 31, 2026.
How far are the courses from the Micron campus?
Measured by car from 8000 S. Federal Way with OpenStreetMap routing in October 2026, off-peak and approximate:
- Hillcrest Country Club, on the Bench: about 7.3 miles, about 13 minutes
- Warm Springs Golf Course, in the East End: about 8.8 miles, about 20 minutes
- Quail Hollow Golf Course, in the Central Foothills: about 11.7 miles, about 26 minutes
What other courses are in the Treasure Valley?
Falcon Crest Golf Club in Kuna has 27 holes of championship golf and a nine-hole executive course, per Visit Idaho. Hillcrest Country Club at 4610 Hillcrest Drive on the Bench is a private club, and it hosts the Albertsons Boise Open, a Korn Ferry Tour event. In 2026 the tournament ran August 13 to 16, per its website. My golf guide lists the rest of the valley's public and private courses.
Where should golfers live in Boise?
Pick the course you would play most, then check the drive to work. Warm Springs is in the East End, Quail Hollow is in the Central Foothills, and Hillcrest Country Club is in the Hillcrest neighborhood on the Bench, per the City of Boise's neighborhood associations. Of the three, Hillcrest is the closest to the Micron campus.
What should golfers check before buying near a course?
- Stray balls: homes along a fairway can take hits to windows, siding, and cars. Look at which side of the fairway the home sits on.
- HOA rules and fees: golf communities often have them, and some include course or club costs.
- Club membership: living next to a private club does not include a membership. Ask the club about its process before you buy.
