🔼 New Partnership. Boise State Athletics has formed a community partnership with First Tee Idaho (FTI). The partnership follows FTI's acquisition of Pierce Park Greens, a 27-acre par-three golf course located in Northwest Boise, now named First Tee – Idaho's Pierce Park Greens. Boise State men's and women's golfers will have full access to Pierce Park Greens as a home to practice and develop.

🗣️ "Building and engaging our community is part of our DNA.  First Tee Idaho is helping plant a seed for What's Next for Boise State men's and women's golf by growing the game with young players in the Treasure Valley and investing in Pierce Park Greens to offer a place for Bronco student-athletes to develop and grow.” - Jeramiah Dickey, Athletic Director
