Heading 2 1/2 hours West of Spokane is this beautiful region near Brewster where the mountains and Columbia River meet. The prolonged drought and record heat had dried all the vegatation out and several fires had broken out on the way over. Alta Lake is located a few miles north of the town with a beautiful 18 hole setting on the edge of the mountain. There is a nice hotel on site with pool and the F9 is surrounded by several really nice cabins. The B9 I enjoyed much more as it is a lot more wide open with a better variety of holes. The course was designed in 1976 by Dan Barth who created many tiered greens. I liked 1, 3, 6, 8, and 9 on the front, the uphill Par3 6th with the beautiful mountain backdrop was my favorite. The B9 starts out with a Par5 that feels a bit squeezed due to real estate development but after that it is wide open with many nice holes (11-15) culminating in two great uphill fininshing holes. If you came here because of golf at Gamble Sands, have some extra time, and need resonable lodging be sure and check it out. GOLD rated
