“The Rosauers Open is my favorite event of the year. From the big scoreboards on the 18th green, to the always warm and sunny weather that we get that time of year and the fact that we play such a cool historic golf course in Indian Canyon. It is an event that you should not miss.” – Corey Prugh, PGA

Play one of Washington’s Most Desired Courses to Play
Indian Canyon was built in 1935 for $200,000. H. Chandler Egan, a member of the PNGA Hall of Fame, crafted the Canyon’s layout over the well treed hillside southwest of the Spokane River. Indian Canyon hosted the 1941 and 1984 Public Links Championships. This municipal track has been annually rated among Golf Digest’s “Best Public Courses”, “Best Affordable Courses”, “Best Golf Courses You Can Play”, “Best in State” and taken individually, some holes rank with the best holes found on any course – public or private – in the region. Indian Canyon’s lofty acclaim is well deserved.
