Hangman Valley Golf Course

190 acres of scenic Spokane

A par-72, 18-hole public championship course, Hangman Valley Golf Course spans 190 acres of the scenic Spokane County.

“People come out here because we’re kind of in the middle of nowhere, away from it all,” said Trevor Jensen, one of the assistant pros at the course. “We’re in the hills, a creek runs through the whole course—it’s really just a beautiful place to golf.”

Hangman Valley is a very peaceful place to golf, and you’ll have a chance to see much of the abundant wildlife that wanders out on the course.

Youth participation in golf is highly encouraged at the 6800-yard course.

“We run a junior program all summer,” said Jensen, “and we also do individual private lessons.”

Hangman Valley also has several reserved weekly tee times for local high school teams, as well as discounts for college golf teams.

The signature hole on the course is Hole 11.

“It’s a par 3 with out of bounds on the right and a short pond on the left,” said Jensen. “Then there’s a little waterfall that comes down into the pond on the left side of the green with a bunker right behind it.”

The pond-bunker-green pattern isn’t the only challenge at Hangman Valley, though—Latah Creek comes into play on several holes on the course, as well.
