Mission

The University of Idaho Golf Course is devoted to setting the industry standard for excellence in golf facilities and staff quality. Our aim is to create an inviting atmosphere where golfers of all skill levels, from beginners to pros, can enjoy their time on the course. To meet these high expectations, we prioritize a supportive and fulfilling work environment for our staff, recognizing that employee satisfaction directly contributes to guest experience.

Financial strength is also a cornerstone of our mission. We are committed to maintaining a robust fiscal position, enabling us to invest in state-of-the-art equipment, offer competitive pricing and fund continual improvements to the course and other facilities.

In addition to serving the recreational golfer, our course plays a crucial role in academics and athletics. We are proud to serve as a hands-on learning lab for University of Idaho students pursuing careers in professional golf management. This gives students invaluable practical experience, preparing them for successful careers in the golf industry.

Lastly, our course is the home for our Vandal golf teams, offering a top-quality venue for practice and competition. We are committed to fostering a culture of excellence that benefits not just our patrons but also helps in the development of student athletes and future professionals in the field of golf.

Vision

Our vision is to offer an unparalleled collegiate atmosphere that is inclusive and welcoming to every individual, whether they’re students, staff, alumni or community members. At the University of Idaho Golf Course, we strive to be more than just a golf facility; we aim to be a gathering place where connections are made, friendships are formed and memories that last a lifetime are created.

Whether you’re participating in tournament, attending an alumni event or simply enjoying a round of golf with friends, our goal is to make each moment special and memorable.

Sustainability and conservation are also integral to our vision. As caretakers of the land, we strive to preserve the natural beauty of the course for future generations to enjoy. Through environmentally responsible practices, we aim to be stewards of a course that not only offers a great game but also honors the landscape in which it resides.
By doing so, we believe we can enrich the lives of everyone who steps onto our course, while creating a legacy of unforgettable experiences and lifelong memories.
