Sun Dance Golf Course

Nine Mile Falls sits in the rolling terrain east of Spokane, where the Spokane River cuts through basalt canyon country before the land opens into the dry, pine-scattered plateaus of eastern Washington. This is high desert golf — wide skies, sagebrush and ponderosa, and the kind of light that makes late-afternoon rounds feel cinematic.

Sun Dance Golf Course is a public facility serving the communities of the Spokane Valley corridor and the smaller towns that dot the region. Courses in this part of Washington tend to be honest, unpretentious places — valued more for accessibility and playability than resort polish — and Sun Dance fits that tradition, offering everyday golfers a full 18-hole layout without the trappings of a destination property.

Eastern Washington's climate means firm, fast conditions through the summer months, with the dry air keeping fairways running out and the sun hanging well into evening. For golfers based in or passing through the Spokane area, it represents the working heart of the regional golf scene.
