City-Operated Courses: The Budget Tier
The City of Spokane operates Esmeralda Golf Course, Downriver Golf Course, and Indian Canyon Golf Course — three of the most scenic and affordable public courses in the Pacific Northwest. Indian Canyon, designed by H. Chandler Egan, is frequently cited among the best municipal courses in the western United States.
The Coeur d'Alene Factor
The famous Coeur d'Alene Resort Golf Course — known for its floating island green — is 30 minutes from downtown Spokane. At $130–200+per round, it's a bucket-list experience rather than a regular round. Black Rock Creek Golf Course and The Links Golf Club in the CDA area offer more accessible alternatives.
