PALOUSE RIDGE GOLF CLUB
A venture of Washington State University, Palouse Ridge is located east end of the WSU campus and is the home course of the Cougar men's and women's golf teams. A links-style design built to championship standards, the eco-friendly course fits the rolling topography of the Palouse and offers panoramic views of distant mountains in Idaho and Oregon.

The Palouse Ridge Golf Club was designed by golf course architect, John F. Harbottle III. After opening in 2008, the success of the golf course is accredited by its selection to host the Pac-12 championships in 2012 (women) and 2015 (men). Golf Week listed Palouse Ridge at No. 3 for college courses, behind Yale and Williams College.

Golf Digest and Golf Week both ranked Palouse Ridge in the second slot in 2009 for the best new courses,
