Golf in Mountain Home

Mountain Home is Elmore County's seat on the high Snake River Plain, defined significantly by its relationship to Mountain Home Air Force Base—home to the 366th Fighter Wing and among the military's most strategically important fighter training installations in the Mountain West. The base anchors the local economy alongside agricultural operations on the surrounding volcanic plateau. The community has developed around the dual identity of agricultural heritage and substantial military presence, with recreational facilities serving both civilian residents and the active-duty population that gives Mountain Home an economic stability unusual for a small high-desert city where summer temperatures on the unshaded basalt plain can reach well into the triple digits.
