Speed of Play
We have upwards of 100 players each week, all with different skill levels, and we need to be mindful of how long we spend at each hole. We would like to try to keep our 9-hole rounds to about 2.5 hours and need everyone's help to keep the game moving along.
Please play ready golf. Unsure of what that means? Ready Golf means that ALL golfers should go to their balls as soon as possible and get READY to play their shots. While waiting to hit, players should survey their shot, select their clubs, take them from their bags, and stand at their balls ready to step up and make the shot when it is their turn. Really do anything you can to keep moving along.
Please be mindful of how long you are spending looking for you ball. None of us want to lose balls but sometimes we need to accept it and move on.
Please be mindful of how many strokes you are going above par, please pick your ball up if you have reached a double par on any given hole.
Basic Etiquette: We are a fun league, open to players of all abilities. But if you're struggling on a hole (as we all do), please be aware of teams that may be stacking up behind you. Allow smaller or faster groups to play through, or simply move on and keep the game going. If we do get jammed up, patience is appreciated!
Food and Drink Reminders
A gentle reminder that there are a lot of Canyonettes and a very small kitchen and staff at the Indian Canyon restaurant and bar. If you are planning to enjoy a post-game meal, please consider calling the restaurant when you're on your 8th hole (might not be the actual 8th hole, depending on where you start) to preorder. Also, if you're dining with a group order as a group so your food comes out at the same time. As always, your patience is appreciated!
The phone number is 509-747-5353.

Member Orientation
Whether you are a new member looking for information on what to expect, or an existing member who needs a refresher, please take a peek so you're ready to go on May 3 and beyond. As always, if you have questions, email us!
Arriving at Indian Canyon: we recommend you arrive as early as possible. You will need to pay for your round (and cart, if using) in the Pro Shop, and lines can get long. You will also want plenty of time to familiarize yourself with our weekly game, figure out how to get to your starting hole, socialize with other Canyonettes, and pick up a drink or snack from the restaurant. We know not every schedule allows for an early arrival, but if you can make it work then we can clear the way for those who come in hot!
Greens fees and carts: This season greens fees for 9 holes is $30 and a one spot in a shared cart is $10. These fees are paid each week directly to the Pro Shop prior to playing.
Spokane Golf Pass: If you plan on golfing frequently this season at Spokane City Courses, consider looking into the Golf Pass. The Pass is $60+ and saves money on greens fees. Inquire at the Pro Shop if you are interested in purchasing a Golf Pass. More information can be found here.
Post-Round Fun: There is no reason for the fun to end once your round does! Many of your fellow Canyonettes can be found in the Clubhouse after golf, enjoying food, beverages and socializing. The restaurant offers weekly drink and menu specials for Canyonettes. Please see the note above about pre-ordering to save some time and save the sanity of the wonderful restaurant staff.
Scorecards and GHIN: If you have signed up for GHIN, please know it is your responsibility to post your scores in the GHIN app or online at USGA. Please fill out your scorecard (making note of any scores that are affected by weekly game rules, and circle your chip-ins and birdies), sign it, and place it in the hanging box in the Ladies' Lounge.
