Canyon Springs Golf Course - A Hidden Treasure!

I got to play golf at this charming golf course yesterday. I'm convinced that it is truly one of the undiscovered gems of Pacific Northwest golf. It's a public course in Twin Falls, Idaho (birthplace of yours truly). The scenery is magnificent (note the gorgeous waterfall), and the course is fun, well maintained, and challenging. The locals were totally friendly (they must have known that I was a native) and the whole course was totally wonderful. They had more marmots running around than you could shake a stick at (if that's your idea of a good time), and the canyon walls created a nice, comfortable feeling of being somehow protected from the sun and elements. Pelicans circled in the sky, and the close proximity of the river kept the temperature down. The world famous Perrine Bridge (people BASE jump off of it all the time) is never far from view, and is quite stunning. Oh, and did I mention that the green fees for a weekday afternoon are 30 bucks? Fantastic!

This is definitely going to be one of my "go-to" golf courses in the future. I just can't say enough about what a wonderful golf course this is, and they didn't even pay me!
