The River Club
About The River Club
The River Club is the second-oldest golf course in Idaho and has a long history of championship play in the Treasure Valley. The course is undergoing a full redesign by architect Brian Curley, with a reopening planned for spring 2027.
The reimagined layout is intended to combine strategic demands with the property's natural setting. Mature cottonwoods and tall spruce trees line the fairways, and the Boise River runs alongside the course, providing views from several points. The new design is described as having a distinctive routing, a set of demanding par 3s, and playability for golfers across a range of skill levels.
