Palouse Ridge Golf Club

Palouse Ridge Golf Club is an 18-hole course set across rolling hills in the Palouse region, with natural elevation changes and strategically placed bunkers throughout the layout. The design incorporates the existing terrain to create varied playing conditions across different parts of the course.

The course opened in 2008 under the design of architect John Harbottle III and has since become a host venue for regional tournaments. Its development reflects the growth of golf facilities in the Pacific Northwest region.

The golf club works closely with Washington State University, regularly involving students and university events in its daily activities. This connection shapes the character of the place and makes it a gathering spot for the academic community.

The facility provides a full practice area with a driving range, a pro shop with equipment rentals, and dining options in the clubhouse. Visitors should note that the course sits at elevation, so playing conditions vary depending on the season.

The course sits at about 2,500 feet elevation, shaped by natural seasons that noticeably change the playing experience. This higher altitude affects both ball flight and ground conditions throughout the year.
