River and Riverside State Park. Gently rolling terrain and views of the beautiful Spokane
River are all a part of your golfing experience. Moved from its original location at the
Felts Ficld Airport in 1926, Downriver has hosted many major tournaments and provides a

Indian Canyon
Indian Canyon was designed in 1930 by H. Chandler Egan and has been chosen by Golf Digest
many times as one of the top 25 public courses in the United States. The Canyon sits atop
the west entrance to Spokane, overlooking the city. Indian Canyon requires accuracy from
the tee to green. The site of many major tournaments, Indian Canyon has hosted the
U.S.G.A. three times; the United States Amateur Public Links Championship in 1941 and 1984
and the United States Women's Amateur Public Links Championship in 1989. Built on a Canyon
wall with a vertical drop of 240 feet amid many towering pines, the Canyon offers a very
diverse and unique playing environment. It is well bunkered and has undulating greens
which require a deft touch if par of 72 is to be achieved over the hilly 6,255 yards.
