The Boise, Idaho property’s new owner will not be publicly identified until the expected completion of the sale in the fourth quarter of this year. The current owner, American Golf Corp., has told members it has a buyer and purchase agreement in place, and that American Golf will still be retained to manage the 101-year-old club.

Southern Idaho’s oldest golf course is being sold, reported the Idaho Statesman.

American Golf Corp., owner of the 101-year-old Plantation Country Club, has told its members that it has a buyer with a purchase agreement in place, reported the Idaho Statesman. The sale is expected to be completed in the fourth quarter of this year, American Golf said in a letter to members that was signed by Plantation CC’s General Manager, Jayson Petersen.

Petersen said the buyer of the club and its 18-hole golf course won’t be publicly identified until the sale closes, reported the Statesman.

The country club facilities, including the golf course, clubhouse, pro shop and pool, are assessed at $2.6 million, according to Ada County (Idaho) tax records, reported the Statesman.

The Statesman reported that American Golf will be retained to manage the 101-acre course, according to the letter sent to Plantation members. The Los Angeles, Calif.-based company operates more than 80 public and private courses in the U.S.

Plantation opened with a six-hole golf course on July 18, 1917. Then known as the Boise Country Club, it opened five years after the state’s oldest golf course, at Hayden Lake Country Club in North Idaho, reported the Statesman.

“We are extremely excited to continue to be part of the operation of Plantation Country Club and look forward to a long-lasting relationship with the new owner, as well as continuing the relationship we already enjoy with the existing membership,” Petersen wrote in the letter.

The club is located where Pierce Park sat from 1907 to 1928, the Statesman reported. The park and the Pierce Park neighborhood were named for W.E. Pierce, a land developer and president of the Boise and Interurban Railway, which passed by the development. The park included a lake with rowboats, tennis courts, croquet wickets, a bandstand and a picnic area, reported the Statesman.

The Plantation golf course was designed by H. Chandler Egan, who won a team gold medal and a silver individual medal in the golf competition at the 1904 Olympics in St. Louis, and is a member of the Pacific Northwest Golf Hall of Fame. Egan designed a number of courses in Oregon and Washington, reported the Statesman.

Boise CC had 110 members in 1922 but later suffered from declining membership, the Statesman reported. There were two consecutive years in that decade when flooding from the Boise River made parts of the course unplayable.

The company that owned the golf course land, the Boise Valley Traction Co., also suffered financial difficulties. Boise residents William Ruth, J.F. Martin and E.L. McElvain then bought the club and renamed it Plantation CC, reported the Statesman.

American Golf, through its parent company, AGC Realty of Los Angeles, has owned Plantation CC since 2016. The club was previously owned by National Golf Properties, which merged with American Golf in 2002, reported the Statesman.
