Directions:
I-15; Hwy 30 exit at McAmmon. Go east 8 miles and exit at Center St. The course circles the Olympic Pool Complex. Park in the lot on the left. 1st tee at the east point of parking lot next to large tree.
This 9-hole course is fairly wide open but uses elevation changes and creative pin placements to good effect. A couple of the holes are quite picturesque and memorable in their own right (hole 5 particularly comes to mind here).
My only two complaints are: 1) the obvious problem that there are no tee markers (though the staff at the pool complex will happily provide you with a course map); and 2) some of walks between holes (and especially from the ninth basket back to the first tee box) are quite long, lending a bit of an unpolished feel to the course as a whole.
Overall though the course is quite good and fun to play, so bring your discs with you if you're planning a trip to hot springs. Just be sure to ask for a map when you get there, or better yet print one off of the Lava Hot Springs website here: http://www.lavahotsprings.com/lava_hot_springs_disc_golf.pdf
