Golf courses near Pullman and Colfax

Published September 28, 2026. Researched planning guide. Confirm rates and availability directly with each course.

Planning golf around Pullman or Colfax? Three useful starting points are Palouse Ridge in Pullman, Colfax Golf Club in Colfax, and Vandal Golf Course across the state line in Moscow, Idaho. This is a practical planning guide based on course and local visitor information, not a ranked course test.

Three courses to compare

Palouse Ridge: start with the course information

Palouse Ridge is on the Washington State University campus in Pullman. Its website provides booking access, rates, a scorecard and hole-by-hole information. Use those resources to choose an appropriate set of tees and understand the round before committing to a time.

If golf is the centerpiece of your visit, confirm the tee time first and fit other activities around it. Ask the course about current maintenance, event restrictions and the expected time needed for your group. A clear plan is more useful than relying on a generic estimate of round length.

Colfax Golf Club: a nine-hole option

Visit Pullman describes Colfax Golf Club as a nine-hole public course beside the Palouse River. It is worth considering when you are staying in Colfax or want a shorter golf outing. A nine-hole layout does not mean you can assume walk-on availability, so confirm access and arrangements before traveling.

Ask about the total price for your preferred number of holes, any cart charge, league times and equipment rentals if you need them. If you are comparing it with a full round elsewhere, compare the complete cost and time commitment rather than only the advertised green fee.

For a bit of local golf fun, try our Colfax Golf Arcade. It is an approximate arcade interpretation, not a yardage book or a substitute for the real course’s guidance.

Vandal Golf Course: include Moscow in the search

Vandal Golf Course is on the University of Idaho campus in Moscow. The official site includes a course tour, daily-rate information, lessons and booking contacts. It gives a Pullman-area trip another course to consider across the Washington–Idaho border.

Check the live booking options rather than assuming the same price applies to every day or time. If you are pairing a round with university activities, confirm both schedules before making plans.

Build an itinerary around your available time

• A shorter outing: Investigate a nine-hole round at Colfax and confirm the booking arrangements directly.
• A day based in Pullman: Start with Palouse Ridge availability, then leave room for travel, check-in and warm-up.
• A weekend across the Palouse: Compare Pullman and Moscow tee times and book one round per day before adding a second.

These are planning suggestions, not fixed packages. Road conditions, weather, course events and your group’s pace can change what is realistic.

Questions to ask before booking

1. Is the course open for public play at the time I want?
2. What does the quoted rate include, and what costs extra?
3. Are there maintenance works, temporary greens or event restrictions?
4. Can our group walk, and are rental clubs or carts available if needed?
5. What are the cancellation and weather policies?
6. Which tees are appropriate for our group’s usual distances?

Pack for the forecast, including a dry glove and a rain layer when needed. Our golf accessories checklist covers the practical essentials. For a larger trip, continue with the Spokane golf course guide or the Pacific Northwest course guide; their archive notices identify details that still need a fresh check.
