Palouse Ridge Golf Club

Palouse Ridge Golf Club is an 18-hole championship golf course in the northwest United States, located at Washington State University in Pullman, Washington. On the east edge of campus on the Palouse of the Inland Northwest, it opened for play eighteen years ago in 2008 and is the home venue of the Cougar golf teams of the Pac-12 Conference. Designed by John Harbottle III (1958–2012), its back tees (Crimson) are at 7,308 yards (6, 682 m); the course rating is 75.4 with a slope rating of 140. The average elevation is approximately 2,600 feet (790 m) above sea level and it lies between Martin Stadium and the Pullman–Moscow Regional Airport. Palouse Ridge replaced a sub-standard nine-hole "WSU Golf Course" that opened in 1925, and was mostly an unimproved recreational track. It had dual tees, but measured under 5,800 yards (5, 300 m) for par 72, with a course rating of 65.4 and a slope of 110. The first and ninth holes originally extended west to Stadium Way, now a parking lot, and later began on the east side of Bailey–Brayton Field, in the area now occupied by tennis courts. (Replacement holes were constructed on the east end of the layout, in the area now occupied by the 18th (reversed) and 9th holes.) Long targeted for an upgrade, the WSU course closed in 2006 and was plowed under for the $12.3 million redesign project, constructed on part of the same site and adjacent land. The
