Manicured park with many pedestrians in the heart of downtown Boise, my home course where I learned to throw into wide open spaces without penalty.

Unfortunately this course is a negative for local golfers - while it is a fun and somewhat challenging course due to water and road OB, a throw that is off its line by 10' is not punished. Thus, Southern Idaho golfers are ill equipped to play courses such as Farragut or Caliber in North Idaho or any course with demanding lines.

Overall Ann Morrison is an amazing gem in Boise, well suited for the recreational golfer and advanced alike, a ton of fun even with all the goose poop...

Pros: Good variety of hole lengths and obstacles, Up to 6 different basket locations on some holes, well maintained park setting. Cons: Very crowded unless you play at sunrise, lots of duck/goose ... show more ›

Pros: Good variety of hole lengths and obstacles, Up to 6 different basket locations on some holes, well maintained park setting.

Cons: Very crowded unless you play at sunrise, lots of duck/goose poop, water hazards will swallow discs (bring your floaters and/or retriever).

Overall Thoughts: Boise needs more summer courses to keep Ann Mo from getting so crowded. There are many more winter courses to spread out the players. If it weren't so crowded, I would have given this course an A.

This is a nice course in a well groomed park. Though there is not an over-abundance of obstacles, there are enough to make some holes quite interesting. There are some very long distances for a guy without a strong arm, like myself. There are nice tee pads, and a lot of holes to work with, if you want to practice your shot. There were a LOT of geese on a couple of the holes, and I did lose a disc in a swampy river, but I look forward to playing this course more as I visit family in Boise. I only grade the course down a bit because the park itself is very busy, and we had to wait several times for crowds or individual to move out of the way before we could throw. One particular group of kids involved in a peewee football league seemed to be oblivious to the fact that we wanted to throw hard plastic discs straight at them. So, the biggest downer was how busy the park is, but that's what public parks are for, right?
