Kellogg, Idaho - Fore! The brand new Galena Ridge Golf Course at Silver Mountain Resort is set to make its debut on June 20th. Tucked into the hills above Kellogg, Galena Ridge is a mountain course masterpiece. The course was created to provide golfers of all abilities stunning mountain views to coincide with a highly enjoyable golf experience.
"The incredible land form provided by Mother Nature allowed us to create tee shots over rugged terrain, wrap fairways around wetlands and tuck greens into wooded draws," said course architect John Thronson of Redmond, Oregon. "What makes the course unique is the amount of elevation change. Several of the first nine holes drop well over 120 feet from tee to green, one of which is an exciting 506 yard par 4 that drops 235 feet," continued Thronson. When the Galena Ridge Golf Course is completely finished, the total elevation change will be in excess of 450 feet and encompass over 350 acres of terrain.
After nearly 4 years of development and construction, 9 of the planned 18 holes are ready for play. The course is open to the public and walk-ins are welcome, however tee time reservations are recommended and can be made up to 30 days in advance. The design work for the remaining holes is nearing completion and construction is expected to commence within the next two years.
