The Smoky River Regional is a 9-hole golf course challenging to the senior golfer while also amenable to the novice and intermediate level player.
The golf course, which also has a driving range, attracts many visitors travelling through the region and is well positioned for the vacationing golfer looking for variety as it is close to the Heart River Golf Club in Nampa, High Prairie and Area Golf Club on Highway 2 and 5 Star Golf Club off Highway 49.
Smoky River Regional Golf Club is accessible on Range Rd 195 just west of the McLennan railway crossing, on Highway 2.
The golf course located on Bousfield Avenue is ideally situated across the road from the Municipal Campground, allowing visitors to setup camp and walk across the street for a round of golf.
