Challenging Layout

I love the Plains. In my opinion it’s a good challenge but fair. There’s some water in play and blind shots. A few holes you might want to keep the big dog in the bag.

They killed this course.

It use to hold tournaments but once it went to 9-holes everyone started to leave. Covid days are over and IMO owner was too greedy selling the front 9 when he had a great opportunity to compete against the Spokane municipal courses. Because of bad owner management, I’ve found a better course to spend my time and money at. Sad I use to love the Fairways and the willow tree. Now I see the willow tree dying.

Worth the Hot Deal

We had some extra time on our trip to Spokane so I snagged an offer for nine holes with a cart. Lovely two hours just the hubby and I. Kinda sad tho, sounds like up until last fall, it had been a pretty nice 18 hole course. Note, new name is The Plains, it used to be call the Fairways. Also, our GPS tried to bring us in from the north... can't get through that way, entrance on the south side.

Disappointing experience

With two groups of new players in front of us pace of play was so slow we asked for a rain check on the back nine which they happily gave us. The staff was very friendly and accommodating,

I enjoyed playing, however, wish they hadn’t sold the front nine so I could have played 18 holes instead of nine twice.

Standard length 9 hole course, decent overall

So I bought a 18 hole round thinking it was a standard 18 course but its not, its only 9 holes now. That information should be clearer before booking a tee time. Apparently the course owners sold off the rest to real estate developers. The clubhouse doesn't have food right now, they had a fire over the winter and are rebuilding, so few amenities. The course is nice, not overly difficult though there was plenty of water and deep grass to disappear balls into. I found the fairways to be in average shape, plenty of tufts of undesirable grasses. The greens were relatively fast and still showed signs of punching. The bunkers were overgrown/non existent or hard. Tee boxes were in relatively good shape.
