Whitetail Golf Club

Overview: Whitetail Golf Club is an 18-hole, par-72 course in McCall, Idaho, designed by Roger Packard and two-time U.S. Open champion Andy North. The course belongs to the mountain setting around Whitetail Club, where wooded corridors, open views and natural water features give the round a strong relationship with the landscape. Its appeal is not based on one manufactured signature hole. Instead, the design changes scale as it moves through the property, asking for clear decisions from different lies and angles.

History: The Whitetail Club course was designed in 2002 by Packard and North, a collaboration that combined Packard's architectural experience with North's perspective as a championship golfer. Whitetail's own golf story describes the course as one of the few Packard layouts also designed with North. That shared authorship is useful context for the routing, which aims to remain playable across a range of abilities while still offering strategic choices for stronger players.

Did You Know? Whitetail is one of only six courses in Roger Packard's catalogue that also carry Andy North's design involvement. North's professional background is more than a biographical footnote: it helps explain why the course is discussed in terms of shot-making and playability as well as scenery. The McCall setting supplies the atmosphere, while the design partnership supplies the golfing questions.
