Commentary:

Originally, I intended to play this with my pops on a father/son golf outing exploring northing Idaho and Washington. My pops isn’t in the best of health these days and had to cancel on me last minute, but since I had booked a hotel in Spokane using expiring hotel points I had to keep my reservation. Another solo round it is!

For a muni this course is well above average! The course presents an interesting challenge/view from the first tee box as you look over cliff edge to the fairway and green below. 18 tfinishes with a bang by featuring a par five that plays over Latah Creek to a green that is half way back up that same opening tee shot cliff. The layout is almost a 7, almost. The conditions are a solid 6, again almost a 7! Staff were nice, but the guy behind the counter seemed a bit clueless about how to get me off before a ladies league started in the next 45min. He finally let me go, and once I got going I never saw any of the ladies out there. At like $30 for 18 and a cart the value is well above average!

Here is a rubric for how I would interpret the TCS™

10 – Simply amazing, go play this a.s.a.p.! Are you on your way?!
9 – One of the best, just not spot on "perfect" in every way. Play It!
8 – One of the best courses in the area; well worth the trip to play.
7 – Worth a round if you are within a reasonable distance. Good conditions and interesting layout.
6 – An above average course that is worth your time if you're close by. Should provide a nice round.
5 – An average course. Decent layout, decent conditions, and the value hits the sweet spot. The one to play after work for a quick round. However, it lacks an overall wow factor.
4 – Below average, but moderately interesting in places.
3 – A poor course. Conditions are pretty bad but the cost of a round usually outweighs the conditions. Play with your friends who are too cheap to pay for a better round of golf.
2 – Bad, but playable. Play it when you need some practice before spending $$$ on a "better" course.
1 – A very bad course, but often has a deal you can't pass up (e.g., I have played a few like this; got 18 and a cart for only $5, yeah, I'd play about anything for that too).
0 – The only way I'd "play" this course if it was in my backyard and it was free. I mean who turns down a free "driving range" which is all that this "course" is good for, not for golf but to hit balls at and forget about.
