Where can you live near a golf course in Boise?

If golf is part of your weekly routine, the course you play most can help narrow down where to live:

Some neighborhoods are built right around a course, with homes along the fairways. Tell me which course you'd play most, and I'll send you homes close to it.

When is golf season in Boise?

Most courses play from early spring into late fall. Summers are hot, with an average July high of 94°F, so early tee times go fast in July and August. Fall is the favorite season for a lot of local golfers: cooler days, and the foothills turn gold.

What should golfers check before buying a home on 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 doesn't include a membership. Ask the club about its process before you buy.
  • Views can change: check whether the course has any plans to reroute holes or add development.
