Great mountain golf course near McCall. Very scenic and well manicured, worth the price. Cool course design with lots of dog legs and risk/reward shots. Views are definitely hard to beat. Tee times were pretty well filled up so book ahead. The food and drink at the clubhouse were also good...loved the Philly sandwhich. Would love to go back!

The reason I am giving Jug a 4 star review is very simple. Me and my friend were trying to get food at jug to-go. We ordered the JMR parmesan FRIES and a burger for my sister. We were riding on a e-scooter because we didn’t have a ride. It took us like 15 minutes to get there. When we get there we notice it’s ten dollars more than what we thought. That’s okay though because we had enough money. We grab our food pay and get out of there. When we get home we notice there’s 2 burgers instead of fries!!!! We call the restaurant and they say just come down again and we’ll figure it out. We get there eventually with the burgers and we walk in and they ask what the problem is. We say we asked for the JMR fries but got the burger. They say we can refund you and you can keep the burger and we’ll give you the fries. We say okay great!! They ask for my card and I give it to them thinking like they’ll just like verify that’s the card I used or something. Well my card got declined because I was only going to pay for the fries and burger and had like 10 dollars extra. They told us they can’t give us the fries but we can keep the burgers!! Well we walk out and just go home. The reason I’m mad is because both of the burgers were soggy and nasty when we got home because we were riding back and forth for like 30 minutes in the heat so we just ate the fries and threw away the burger that we didn’t want. Overall 4 stars because the food is good but I just wanted to get this off my chest.
