Warm Springs Golf Course



About this course
Warm Springs Golf Course occupies a compact site in the foothills above Boise, where the terrain rises from the valley floor toward the Boise Front. Owen Simpson designed the nine-hole layout, which reflects the practical municipal golf architecture common in smaller Western cities during the mid-twentieth century. The course serves a neighborhood clientele and provides accessible golf in a setting that offers views of the surrounding high desert landscape. The routing works with the natural slope of the land, incorporating elevation changes that give the short layout more variety than its yardage might suggest. Several holes play uphill toward the foothills, while others descend back toward the valley, creating approach shots that require adjustment for the terrain. The property includes mature trees that frame fairways and define playing corridors, though the overall character remains open enough to reflect the region's semi-arid climate. Warm Springs functions as a community course where local golfers can walk nine holes in a casual round. The facility maintains the straightforward character of its era, without extensive modern amenities or championship pretensions. For visitors to Boise, it represents a glimpse of neighborhood golf as it developed in Western cities where land near the urban core allowed for modest public courses that prioritized accessibility and regular play over length or difficulty.
