SpurWing is the only planned country club community in the Greater Boise Valley and is definitely
the "talk of the town". And, why not?
Just think of it, your sense if arrival as you drive in. A divided boulevard leads you through
SpurWing's massive stone arches and takes you through the beautiful landscaped club and golf
course grounds, ultimately arriving at SpurWing's magnificent clubhouse. Look to the right at the
superb practice range, how convenient to be able to work on your game after work, right there. You
have always dreamed of living at a place like this and you know that there is nothing else like it!
Life at SpurWing truly offers you all the attendant amenities literally at your doorstep. What a
wonderful place to live, raise a family, enjoy all of SpurWing's facilities, and meet many new and
friendly neighbors. It's all here, and just waiting for you.
And, when you ultimately decide to sell your SpurWing home, think of this. SpurWing Country Club
is unique in that club memberships outnumber home sites by about 500 to 70. As a result, the
fortunate seller of a SpurWing residence will very likely find more than a few club members who will
want to "Be one of the Seventy".
Phases I, II, and III are sold out The 4th and final phase is now open and available for reservations.
Of the seventy lots at SpurWing, 80% are sold and the remaining premium lots will not last long,
particularly in today's low interest rate environment
I know that building your new home is a major decision and questions will arise. When they do,
please feel free to call at your convenience.

site that will include a clubhouse,
swimming pool and tennis courts.
Seventy .residential lots are
penciled in beside the fairways, a
pasture and Phy Ilis Canal. which
is connected to the Boise River.
The lots are an acre to an acre and
a half in size and cost $85,000 to
$200,000 apiece. They will be
sold for custom houses that are
expected to .range upward from
half a million dollars in price.
SpurWing will become the
sixteenth Treasure Valley golf
course and fourth private country

230-acre golf course and 69 acres
for habitat and wetlands_ Lakes,
meadows and streams embellish
the property. .
The thing to watch, HeWItt
says, when assessing private golf
capacity, is the level of member-
ship inquiries. "Between them,
Hillcrest and Crane Creek are get-
ting a call a day," he says.
"Crane Creek has a waiting list
of 20, Hillcrest 34, and
Broadmore 54. That translates to a
wait of twO or three years for
someone to get into a club."

Alluding to the popularity.of a
game considered by many to be.a
test of physical and ment?l dtscl-
pline, Hewiu nOtes that In 1960
the country had 5 million golfers,
a number that soared to 25 mtl-
lion in 1990.
"In the '60s dad played, and oc-
casionally wives played," HeWItt
says_ "Not so many women and

of a practice range and electric
carts for a member and spouse.
Hewitt describes the layout:
'The courSe will have a links-type
appearance with elevated tees and
greens and contoured fairways.
"The thing that will separate it
from others in the valley is the
immensity of the site On which it
is built. Others are typically built
on 100 to 130 acres. SpurWing is
on 230 acres. It will have the
look and feel of a resurt."
The property goes back to He-
witt's great grandfather. William
Abner Simpson, who Came west
from Illinois and hauled freight
with his brother Charles by horse-
and-wagon between Silver City
and Idaho City.
Simpson bought 800 acres of
land in 1880_ The remaining por-
tion will go for the country club.
"My grand mom Marie is an
avid golfer, and we had a discus-
sion about what we might do
with the property," Hewitt says.

to preserve as much open space a~
