Pack a lunch!

Pace of play was horrible. 6 groups from a senior women's league ahead of us. No way to play around them. We picked up after 9.
Call ahead before you book to see who is scheduled.

Needs water!

Usually enjoy this course a lot, but for some reason, it is already dried out in many places! Also lots of damage around some of the greens.
Two groups of 7 were allowed to play and that slowed things up !

Heaven on earth

The setting is gorgeous and the course is in excellent condition. Pace of play was spot on. Just started year 2 and there a lot of fun challenges over water and marshes.

You need to play this course

We had an excellent experience at Priest Lake. The staff was very friendly and wanted to make sure we had a good time.. The course is well laid out with no two holes the same. The back nine is especially scenic

Great course - our complaint was 5:15 round. A group of 4 in front that took forever on tee boxes and the greens. 3 holes open in front. 2 groups behind us quit we would definitely try this course again though!

Bring lots of balls!

Priest Lake is one of the best kept secrets in North Idaho this lake is known as the "Crown Jewel "This golf course is just as beautiful as the lake, but beware lots of water everywhere remember to bring lots of balls the front 9 has nice open fairways And the greens are duable But when you get to the back 9 that's when it becomes a very difficult course to manage make sure you' have plenty of balls when you get to the back 9 because you're gonna need them I would say this course is not for beginners. Overall me and my brother had a great time on this course ,make sure you picked up a course book that detailed every hole.

Worth the drive

Pretty well maintained course, good layout. A little quirky to get to the range, but other than that, easy to navigate. Staff very friendly and helpful. Didnt eat so cant comment on that.

Its a bit of a drive from SP, but its a pretty drive which makes it enjoyable.

Fun to play on vacation

Every time we camp at Priest Lake we play Priest Lake Golf Course. Driver isn’t necessary on most of the holes, but it’s pretty fun target golf, especially the scenic back 9.
