Post Falls sits in the Idaho Panhandle's Rathdrum Prairie, where the Spokane River carves through basalt and ponderosa pine before crossing into Washington. The region's high desert terrain — dry summers, wide skies, and the kind of open, wind-exposed ground that actually lends itself to links-style play — gives The Links Golf Club a setting that earns its name more honestly than most courses daring to claim it.
The par-73 layout signals something slightly unconventional about the routing, likely a set of par-5s or extra par-4s that reward the long game while giving higher-handicap players a bit of breathing room. That extra stroke on the card can matter considerably when the afternoon wind rolls in off the prairie, turning straightforward holes into genuine tests of course management.
Post Falls and neighboring Coeur d'Alene form one of the Pacific Northwest's more active golf corridors, with a season that runs comfortably through the warm, dry months. It's a region where public golf is taken seriously, and The Links fills a workmanlike, accessible role in that local landscape.
