Deer Park Golf Club
About this course
Deer Park Golf Club sits in the small town of Deer Park, roughly twenty miles north of Spokane in eastern Washington. Designed by Keith Hellstrom, a Pacific Northwest architect known for working within modest budgets to create playable courses for smaller communities, the layout reflects the rolling terrain characteristic of the region's transition zone between the Columbia Plateau and the foothills of the Selkirk Mountains. The course occupies land that features gentle elevation changes and is framed by ponderosa pine and mixed conifer forests typical of this part of Washington. The routing takes advantage of the natural contours, with holes that move through corridors of trees and across more open meadow areas. Water features appear on several holes, adding strategic interest to what is primarily a parkland-style design. Deer Park serves as the primary golf facility for its community and the surrounding rural area. The club caters to local members and visitors seeking an accessible round in a quieter setting away from Spokane's busier courses. The layout provides a straightforward test suitable for a range of skill levels, with enough variety in hole length and design to maintain interest without overwhelming recreational players. The course reflects the character of many small-town Washington golf clubs: unpretentious, well-integrated into the landscape, and focused on providing a solid golfing experience for its local membership and regional visitors.

Getting there
The journey to Deer Park Golf Club begins at Spokane International Airport, a comfortable thirty-minute drive to the north. From the terminal, the route traces US-2 westward through rolling wheat country and stands of ponderosa pine, the landscape gradually softening as the Spokane River valley gives way to the forested benchlands of rural Stevens County. The final miles wind through the quiet town of Deer Park itself, where the course emerges as an unexpected oasis of manicured fairways against a backdrop of evergreen-clad hills - a serene arrival that feels worlds removed from the city left behind.
