This 18-hole, par-72 course spans 6,650 yards with a course rating of 71.2 and a slope of 130, set along the Snake River Canyon.

Its history and scenic setting make it a cherished member destination.

**How It Plays**: Blue Lakes’ fairways are moderately tight, with trees and water hazards demanding accurate drives. The greens are medium-sized with subtle breaks, requiring controlled approach shots. The par-4 9th, with its river proximity, tests strategy, while the par-5s offer scoring chances for long hitters. The course’s classic design and moderate length make it accessible, but bunkers and water add challenge. Wind off the canyon can affect shots, rewarding precision and course management for low scores.
