Falcon Crest Golf Club’s Freedom Course in Kuna, Idaho, is a public 9-hole Hans O’Connell design, part of the Falcon Crest complex, opened in 2001. This par-36 course spans 3,300 yards with a course rating of 38.7 and a slope of 147, offering a shorter, challenging layout with tight fairways and water hazards. Sharing the Championship Course’s modern clubhouse and practice facilities, it provides an affordable option for quick rounds. Its compact design and proximity to Boise make it ideal for casual golfers.
**How It Plays**: The Freedom Course’s tight fairways and water hazards demand accurate drives, with bunkers adding pressure. The greens are small and fast, requiring precise approach shots to avoid difficult putts. The par-4 5th, with its water-guarded green, tests strategy, while the par-3s challenge short-game skills. Despite its shorter length, the high slope makes it surprisingly tough, suiting skilled players. Wind and compact hazards make it a fun, quick test for all levels.
