Lewiston at Lewiston Golf & Country Club

Lewiston Golf & Country Club occupies rolling terrain above the confluence of the Snake and Clearwater Rivers in north-central Idaho. The course was designed by Bob E. Baldock and later modified by his son Robert L. Baldock, members of a prominent Pacific Northwest design family whose work spans several decades across the region. The Baldocks typically routed courses to fit natural landforms, and Lewiston's hillside setting provides elevation changes and views across the river valleys below.

The layout moves through a mix of open and tree-lined corridors, with several holes playing along ridgelines or dropping toward lower ground. The terrain creates variety in stance and approach angles, and the design incorporates the slope and native grasses characteristic of the area. Greens are moderately contoured, reflecting mid-century design principles that emphasize playability for a range of skill levels while still rewarding accurate iron play.

Lewiston Golf & Country Club serves as the primary private club in a city that sits at the junction of two major river systems and functions as a regional hub for north-central Idaho and southeastern Washington. The club maintains traditional country club amenities and hosts local and regional amateur competitions. Its location in the Lewis-Clark Valley, where the climate is milder than much of Idaho due to lower elevation, allows for a relatively long playing season compared to courses at higher altitudes elsewhere in the state.
