I hardly take the time to leave reviews, but the team at Sage Lakes absolutely deserves recognition. They have been outstanding on accommodating anyone walking through the doors and it feels like a family environment ever time I golf at this course. This is by far my favorite city course and my absolute go to! Thank you Sage Lake crew for always going above and beyond!!
Sage Lakes is a great place to play golf in Idaho Falls. It’s the youngest of the 3 city courses, but it’s fun. Fairly wide open and challenging at the same time. The pro shop is filled with all of the golf stuff you want and need - polo shirts, golf shoes, golf gloves, golf balls, towels, and golf bags. You can rent clubs, golf carts and pull carts. You can get a season pass to play any time they are open all season long (including the other 2 city courses). In the winter, they have a golf simulator to play with. Come play, try it out. You’ll have fun!
If I could leave 0 stars I would. I’ve never been more disrespected on a golf course until today by Mike. We buy a season pass every year, we play multiple times a week- we are not some casual once a month visitor. We always pay for our carts. Often times we decide at the turn if we have time to play 18 or 9. We have been told multiple times by the workers to just stop by at the end if we decide to make the turn and pay, which we always do. Today, we decided we had time to make the turn and Mike decided to track us down on the back 9 and told me that I needed to come pay for my cart before I continue playing. I apologized and said we always pay at the end. He was extremely rude by not only tracking me down on the golf course like I’m a child but also how he spoke to me, demanding I stop the middle of play and go back to the clubhouse to pay. We pay a lot of money each year to golf and have never once not stopped back in to pay for our carts. Do better Sage Lakes! We have never had this problem or disrespect at either of the other public courses!
Find 18 hole course just outside of town. People are friendly, nice greens, trees are coming in. A couple nice ponds. We have a couple chip and putt courses next to the 18 hole course. Overall a nice place to spend the day playing golf.
Had a good time playing a casual round on the front 9. Rented a cart which all appear to be maintained well. The course offered some rewarding holes and quality customer service.
