I had an amazing day golfing at Indian Canyon — the course was in fantastic shape and the guys in the pro shop were excellent. Unfortunately, the restaurant completely ruined the experience.
The lady checking us out was unbelievably rude. When I politely asked for a cup of ice, she scoffed, slammed the cup around, and slung ice everywhere like it was a huge burden. She had a sunflower tattoo on her left shoulder, faded blonde/grey hair, and was heavier set — and she gave us the absolute worst service I have ever had anywhere.
She stomped her feet, threw buckets of ice and cups around, and made us feel like we were an inconvenience just for being there. Honestly, it was uncomfortable and even intimidating. I’ve never felt so unwelcome in a restaurant in my life.
The golf side of Indian Canyon is amazing, but because of that restaurant experience, I will never go back. They really need to address the staff attitude there if they care about...
Read moreCourse is in good shape and a decent layout, but it was painfully slow out there. I play roughly 70 rounds a year and never in my life have I sat on a tee box with 3 other groups, and this happened 3 different times in the round...crazy. We probably spent as much time waiting on tee boxes as we did actually golfing on the day. We were so backed up on a hole, we were stuck between trying to clear the green we just finished and stay back from the next tee box, unfortunately we didn't find a good spot as one of the groups ahead of us shanked a drive off a tree and hit my wife in the head! Saw the marshall twice and he was just sitting off in the woods on his phone. 97° day and only saw the beverage cart once, when we were making the turn. Overall, could be a good spot to play but really poorly managed out there. They are lucky my wife wasn't seriously injured or they'd be looking at a lawsuit and not just...
Read moreI found Indian Canyon as a search result for nearby golf courses while leaving the Spokane airport. All I wanted to do was hit some golf balls and see if I could straighten out my slice.
It is a beautiful golf course. I never got to play it, but I did use the practice facility, which was very nice. The Professional or golf pros in the pro shop were very nice and quite helpful.
The golf course is owned and operated by the city of Spokane and the buildings on site are very interesting clad with volcanic rock and sort of a craftsman style building. The view off of the back deck (see attached photo) was pretty spectacular. The golf course is one where I would recommend renting a cart because walking it looks like a real challenge.
I look forward to my next visit and playing golf at Indian Canyon...
