Plan Your Spokane Golf Trip in 60 Seconds

Affordable Inland NW golf with a punchy downtown bar scene

Spokane is the best-value golf trip in the Pacific NW with multiple quality courses under $80 and a surprisingly strong downtown bar and dining scene along the Spokane River. Riverfront Park anchors the city, the craft beer scene punches above its weight, and lodging costs are a fraction of Seattle or Portland.
