The course sits atop of the old 9-hole WSU Public Golf Course. WSU Public was opend in 1954 and designed by Robert Muir Graves. It's replacement, Palouse Ridge Golf Club opened in 2008. Palouse Ridge was designed by John Harbottle, III.
Palouse Ridge is a premier college golf course. The design rolls through windswept, mostly treeless terrain and boasts panoramic views of mountain peaks in Idaho and Oregon. Particularly eye-catching are the massive bunkers that dot the layout. The 463-yard, par-4 1st hole sets the tone, playing along a fescue-covered ridge toward Bryan Clock Tower, WSU's most recognizable landmark.
