Whitetail Club | McCall, Idaho

Our Story

The power of a single memory primarily influenced the 2008 purchase of Whitetail Club. Joe Scott, the owner of Whitetail Club, has a long-standing involvement in the area dating back to 1957 when he spent summers at Shore Lodge while visiting his grandparents' cabin in McCall. His childhood memories inspired his passion for creating a special place for families to experience this magical corner of the Gem State. Whitetail Club was built from a deep love of family, friends, and adventure. The images below, taken in McCall, Idaho, show a glimpse into the memories that inspired the inception of Whitetail Club. Our members experience a modern version of this same mountain-lake lifestyle today.

Golf Course

Venture into the rugged Idaho Mountains to play Whitetail Club’s award-winning golf course. It’s one of Golfweek’s Best Resort Courses for 2016 and one of America’s 100 Greatest Courses, according to Golf Digest.

Designed by Roger Packard and two-time U.S. Open winner Andy North, our scenic 18-hole, par-72 course comprises 7,200 yards and is an essential link in the Idaho Golf Trail. Whitetail Club offers a variety of practice environments for golfers working to refine their game, including a driving range, putting greens, and chipping greens.

The Golf Shop – Step into our 3,500 sq ft, luxury-lodge-style Golf Shop. Members will find a fully stocked golf shop and a well-appointed locker room. The Golf Shop is also home to the Golf Grille, offering breakfast, lunch, and bar service. You can enjoy your meals inside or outside on the patio with spectacular views of Long Valley.

The Fish & Swim Club

Located off the lake, members can splash in the saltwater pool, gather around the fire pit, play in the game room, or grab a classic burger or milkshake at the Whitetail Burger Co. & Coffee Bar.

Whitetail Burger Co. & Coffee Bar – This “fast casual” eatery is a summer staple, offering some of the best burgers from our blend of fresh ground beef, fries, shakes, and Western Idaho’s freshest baked pies. 

Whitetail Club Park – Created for kids to climb, swing, slide, and roam freely. Other amenities include horseshoes, lawn games, basketball, sand volleyball, pickleball, bocce ball, gazebos with picnic tables, a storage room with Frisbees, balls, equipment, and more. 

The Marina

With 350 feet of private lakefront, this amenity offers Whitetail Club members everything they need to enhance their aquatic activities on Payette Lake.

The Boathouse – This retail space offers essentials for a day of fun in the sun and on the water, with access to stand-up paddleboards, tandem or single kayaks, and more. When members are ready to end the day, men’s and women’s locker rooms with showers and towels are available.

Whitetail Club's 14,000-square-foot Indoor Tennis & Fitness Center features a tennis and pickleball court. It has the latest cardiovascular machines, strength machines, and free weights. You can also spin on a Peloton at the fitness center or chill in the analog Game Room. The fitness facility also offers programming like circuit training, yoga classes, and personal training throughout the year.

Mountain Biking – The property has 10 miles of single-track mountain biking trails. The lower traverse trail is ideal for beginners and those who enjoy rolling hills featuring open meadows and forested patches. The Whitetail Chute, a downhill-only trail with rock rollovers, berms, and stellar drops, offers heart-racing excitement for the more thrill-inclined riders.

The Cart Barn – Located next to The Studio, this barn houses a bag room for complimentary member and guest club storage. Members can store their carts to be charged and lightly maintained between uses. The Cart Barn is also open to members to host events, weddings, birthday celebrations, and more.

Shore Lodge

An exceptional Whitetail Club member benefit is the preferred access to our lakefront Shore Lodge resort hotel and marina, voted a 2024 Top 15 Favorite Resort in the West. 

The Cove – Step inside The Cove for an adventure in luxury. Members can choose from a selection of spirited massages, soothing organic facials, and immersive full-body wraps and scrubs for the perfect spa day and have access to member priority on a seasonal basis. 

The club documents and POA documents are invaluable, serving as a guide for the Whitetail Club experience. 

Our club governing documents clarify the exceptional opportunities and benefits available to members and provide guidance on the permissible use of club facilities as outlined in the membership plan. Our community association's governing documents provide the legal structure and operation of the community, setting forth rules and restrictions to protect both owners and the community while enhancing property values. 

Combined, these Governing Documents guide both the Club and Community, including the membership plan, rules and regulations, fee appendix, and membership applications, outlining the rights and privileges of club membership. 

Key documents include: 

• Articles of Incorporation 
• General Declaration 
• Property Owners Association Bylaws 
• Membership Plan 
• Rules & Regulations 
• Fee Appendix 

We update communication daily to meet the needs of our members. This is done through various channels, such as emails, social media, and the members-only section of our documentation. 

As of June 2024, members receive a detailed online monthly statement available via our Member Portal and app. This convenient feature helps members stay informed about their expenses and easily complete their transactions. 

 Additionally, over the past year, we renovated The Fish & Swim Club to enhance the facility's appearance and elevate the ambiance for our members. Our development and maintenance team also added four outdoor pickleball courts and one outdoor tennis court to our range of amenities. 

Member Portal and app Integrations

In addition to the human connection, Whitetail Club has adapted to the changing times by providing members with access to club-related things right at their fingertips. From the Member Portal and app, members can now:

• Book tee times during golf season
• Book our two-bay golf simulators to practice their swing year-round
• Register/RSVP for our upcoming events
• View and pay their monthly member statements

New Courts

With the ever-growing popularity of pickleball and tennis, we've built five outdoor pickleball courts and one tennis court so members can go paddle-to-paddle or racket-to-racket and enjoy the scenic mountain vistas our private community has to offer. We're currently in the process of implementing these courts into our current Court Reservations system to ensure members can book these newly added courts using the Member Portal and app.

Calendar of Events

McCall is a place that needs to be seen to be believed. The natural beauty surrounding our community is one of the allures that make our members choose a mountain-lake home within our gates. With that in mind, we added new excursions to our calendar of events this year that allow members to explore the hidden gems of Idaho, including: 

• Nordic Skiing Skate Clinics
• River Rafting Trip
• Fall Foliage Canoe Ride

Lake Front Living

With preferred access to one of McCall's most prized possessions, Payette Lake, Whitetail Club puts members at the edge of waterfront adventures. As our community grew, renovations were underway to expand the private Whitetail Club dock to allow more members to moor their boats. We've also expanded the Whitetail Club fleet, purchasing two new pontoons (one with a Skydeck) and a Malibu speedboat for any members who wish to rent or charter a boat to get on the water.

Legacy Ranch

The Western United States has always promised a new way of life. It’s where people went to pursue opportunities and, ultimately, a better way of life. That spirit lives on at our newly developed phase three, Legacy Ranch at Whitetail Club. Legacy Ranch builds on the commitment to a remarkable, natural lifestyle in the Wilds of Western Idaho.

Promising vast homesites, an undisturbed location, and a unique sense of solitude, Legacy Ranch is a 365-acre enclave sitting on the western edge of our private community. Offering wide open skies and towering granite mountains, Legacy Ranch is comprised of only thirty-six homesites, fourteen of which are positioned on Red Ridge with western-facing views, and the remaining twenty-two are scattered over the expansive valley floor ranging from 5 to 21 acres.
