Mirror Lake featured on Outdoor Idaho tonight

“Idaho Fairways” premiers at 7 p.m. today in Idaho Public Television, and Mirror Lake Golf Course is one of six not-so-famous but well-loved golf courses from around Idaho.

During their visit, Outdoor Idaho film crews talked with Mayor Dave Anderson and his wife, Laura, who both golf and help out regularly at the course.

“We are complimented all the time by people from out of town who come here and play,” he said. “This place has a lot of nuances. You have to be somewhat of a shot-maker, you have to know what directions you are coming in on some of these greens based on flag placement.”

Also featured in the show, which will be re-broadcast at 7 p.m. Sunday, are the golf courses in Ashton, Twin Falls, Wilder, Emmett and Orofino.

“It was hard to pick which courses to include in the show, there are so many gorgeous ones in Idaho,” said producer Sauni Symonds. “We decided to focus on the unique and/or scenic hometown courses in different parts of the state.”
