Golf in Preston

Preston is Franklin County's seat in southeastern Idaho's Cache Valley, near the Utah border in a landscape defined by the Bear River and irrigated valley agriculture. The county carries deep LDS cultural heritage, and Preston's community institutions reflect the Utah-border culture that has characterized this corner of Idaho since settlement in the 19th century. Preston achieved unexpected global recognition as the fictional hometown in Napoleon Dynamite, filmed on location here, drawing visitors curious about the rural Idaho landscape the film portrayed with affectionate accuracy. Preston Golf and Country Club serves a farming community where recreational sport has grown alongside the agricultural economy that remains central to Franklin County's identity.
