Individual Hole Analysis

Signature Hole:  16th Hole – 558 Yard Par 5 – The signature hole at Kalispel Golf and Country Club plays over the entrance road leading into the club and doglegs right to a green protected by a trio of bunkers.

Best Par 3:  17th Hole – 193 Yards – From the tees on the left this hole features an intimidating tee shot over the water while the tee boxes on the right allows the player to hit a runner between the bunkers to the putting surface.

Best Par 4:  2nd Hole – 374 Yards – This dogleg left allows you to cut the corner and really put it close to the green, however anything that is too far left will be a lost ball.

Best Par 5:  3rd Hole – 493 Yards – The tee shot here features a large drop down to the fairway and continues to play downhill to a green that can be reached in two if you avoid the trees surrounding it.

Birdie Time:  18th Hole – 321 Yard Par 4 – The 321 yard uphill finishing hole is driveable and thus offers a great chance at birdie if you can avoid the four bunkers that protect this hole.

Bogey Beware:  4th Hole – 466 Yard Par 4 – At 466 yards, the 4th hole is easily the longest par four on the course and features a fairly narrow landing area of the tee. You'll be thrilled with a four here.
