The course is also known for its excellent turf conditions and expertly manicured greens. While not in plain sight, Crane Creek prides itself in preserving and enhancing Boise’s wildlife habitat, earning the title of a Certified Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary, making it one of the 10% of clubs in the nation to have achieved this commitment.

THE CLUB’S FUTURE VISION

TOP TIPS FOR BUYING LUXURY REAL ESTATE IN BOISE GOLF COMMUNITIES: 
 

  • PLAY A PRACTICE ROUND. As you are deciding on which course to join, it is important to get out and play a practice round at the golf courses you are considering. While all clubs will have wonderful courses, the communities will differ in slight ways. Consider what you find to be of highest priority. Is it the course itself? The amenities? The social events and members? Once you narrow those down, it will help hone in on which community will best suit you.
  • EAT DINNER AT THE CLUB. Not only do many clubs have phenomenal golf, many of them also have great cuisine and dining. When you sign up to be a member at a club, it becomes a place you ultimately spend significant time at. Grab dinner with a few members, meet the staff and experience what it would be like to be a member. As you hope to invite guests to the club and have family meals often, it is important you like their menu and the dining experience. 
  • BE PATIENT WHEN IT COMES TO HOMES ON THE MARKET. Some of the best homes in a country club community don’t come on the market often. Don’t rush your purchase. Instead, narrow down your priorities when it comes to the style, price point and amenities of a home you are looking for. Once the right one comes on, you will be more confident in your decision.
  • FIND A LOCAL REAL ESTATE AGENT WITH EXPERIENCE IN THE COMMUNITY. Many real estate professionals in the country club community will know of homes in the area before they hit the market. It will be important to work with someone who has sold homes in the community to best help advocate and advise you start to finish. We have extensive experience in country club communities and would be happy to be a resource for you.
