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.
Don't forget to dress in your best Cinco de Mayo outfit!
Winner of the Best Dressed competition wins a $25 gift card to be used toward your next round or in the Pro Shop.
Week 1 Raffle Baskets
Start the season off right and win one of five (5) amazing raffle baskets. Everyone who plays on opening night (May 3) will be entered to win! Raffle winners will be drawn in the Clubhouse immediately following the round, and you must be present to win.

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!
Signing up to play: text Greg at (509) 481-5468 to reserve your spot. If you're planning to play with a friend or even have a full foursome in mind, it is best to give him that information all at once. Greg will also want to know if you're planning to walk or ride - it helps with hole assignments! Moving forward, Greg usually hangs out in the Clubhouse post-golf to sign members up for the following week or you can continue to text him!
Do not call Greg or the Pro Shop to schedule Canyonettes tee times, please.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 $12. 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.
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!
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.
