The course sits atop the west entrance to Spokane, overlooking the city. As the host to many major tournaments, Indian Canyon has hosted the USGA three times; the United States Amateur Public Links Championship in 1941 and 1984; and the United States Women’s Amateur Public Links Championship in 1989.

Built on a canyon wall with a vertical drop of 240 feet amid many towering pines, it offers a diverse and unique playing environment.
