Let me explain why only 3 stars. I love this course as a beginner. Have been several times to practice hitting and also play 9 holes. It stinks that the service my husband and I have received each time was not great. Bordering on prejudice. He's an avid golfer; we are nice people. It's too bad because it has always left us feeling badly.

Perfect for a beginner! I never feel rushed and everyone is always very friendly. One star off for removing the porta potty. As someone who has to sit down to pee, this pit stop has always been a crucial part of spending an afternoon at pierce park.

Great little 9 hole par 3 course. Ideal for beginners and those who want to work on their short game. I never feel rushed here and always have a great time. The driving range is nice also.

We have always enjoyed coming here to work on the short game and have had consistently positive experiences until the morning of July 6th. Unfortunately, the gentleman working in the pro shop that day was unexpectedly rude and disrespectful. There was a genuine misunderstanding within our group regarding who had paid for our round. Rather than approach the situation with professionalism or give us the benefit of the doubt, he drove up in a golf cart and immediately assumed we were trying to avoid paying. When we went to settle the payment, he remained silent, displayed a poor attitude, and came across as dismissive, if not discriminatory. We’ve always paid and respected the course’s policies, so to be treated this way was both disappointing and frustrating.

Pierce Park Greens is amazing! I can honestly say my love of golf would not of happened if it wasn’t for this place. They are affordable which is great when you are new to golf (and need lots of practice like my self). The staff have always been amazing to me and my family. I really do feel like this place is home in a sense. I can show up, play / hang out, bring my kids and I feel very welcomed. I can’t wait for my son to reach the age of 6 so he can be apart of First Tee Idaho since he has also fallen in love with the game because of Pierce Park. Honestly, the only thing missing from this place is a sand trap to practice out of!! Please 🙏 can we get one?! Regardless of getting a sand trap, this is by far the best place to practice and improve your game of golf.
