Palouse Ridge Golf Course

Palouse Ridge Golf Club opened in 2008 as the home course of Washington State University in Pullman, part of a roughly $12 million project that replaced a modest nine-hole campus course dating to 1925. Architect John Harbottle III reimagined the site across the rolling, treeless hills of the Palouse, gaining additional land to build an expansive 18-hole championship layout that sits at around 2,600 feet of elevation between Martin Stadium and the Pullman-Moscow Regional Airport. Stretching past 7,300 yards from the Crimson tees with a rating of 75.4 and a slope of 140, the course uses the region's dramatic contours, big wind, and native fescue to create a links-influenced test. It serves as the competitive home of the Cougars' golf programs while remaining open to the public, and it stands among Harbottle's most acclaimed designs.
