Profile

Creek at Qualchan weaves along a quiet Spokane valley floor

The Creek at Qualchan Golf Course belongs to the City of Spokane system. It sits in Latah Creek Valley beside U S Highway 195, ten minutes south of downtown. A clear stream runs through many holes, five ponds add sparkle, and forested bluffs rise on the edges. Wildlife often moves across fairways. Players find a peaceful walk that still asks for smart club choices.

Course Overview

Qualchan uses its stream as the main feature. Fairways sit on sandy loam which drains well. Opening holes ease golfers into the round with gentle doglegs and wide landing zones. From the fifth onward the creek begins to pinch angles. Back nine holes climb slightly, giving views of the valley bluffs. Greens are medium in size and tilt toward the water. The city keeps fairways firm in summer, yet rough stays playable for most swings. Players of all levels can enjoy the target style design while better golfers chase birdies with precise irons.

Rates / Booking / Local Tips

Daily green fees post on the city website and vary by season. Tee times open online or by phone seven days ahead. Walking is pleasant on the flat valley floor. Summer afternoons bring a light breeze down the creek which can add yardage to down-wind holes. Putts tend to break toward the stream even when slope appears level.
