Idaho Golf, the official publication of the Idaho State Golf Association, features a list of the top Signature Holes throughout Idaho in their 2011 issue…and Jug Mountain Ranch is one of the elite courses featured! Here is an excerpt from the article featuring Hole #16 at Jug:
______________________
“Winding its way through wetlands, high desert, and heavy forest, Jug Mountain Ranch in McCall is part of the Idaho Golf Trail and is
Designed by Don Knott, who refers to it as an ‘alpine-links style course,’ Jug Mountain is known for its panoramic views of McCall’s East Valley and its wide variety of tee boxes that offer something for every skill level.
The 16th hole is a long dogleg right and is lined by thick groves of trees on either side. Boulder Creek crosses the fairway and runs along the right side of the green.
ADVICE: Craig Collins is Jug Mountain’s Director of Golf, ‘The tee shot is played to a generous landing area with Jughandle Mountain as your backdrop. Distance and accuracy are required for placement of the second shot into the narrowing fairway. The approach to the long undulating green is very challenging with bunker short left and a creek right of the putting surface.'”
