Sandpoint Elks Golf Course

Sandpoint Elks Golf Course is North Idaho's oldest Elks Lodge course, a 9-hole layout (with double tee boxes for 18-hole play) that dates to the 1920s / 1930s era of North Idaho golf, operated by Elks Lodge #1376 and open to the public. The course sits just over a mile northeast of downtown Sandpoint off Highway 200, giving it genuine in-town proximity, a rare asset for a Lake Pend Oreille / Schweitzer Mountain golf trip where most courses require a drive out of the Sandpoint downtown resort zone. The property includes a well-maintained 9-hole layout, equipment and cart rentals, a friendly clubhouse restaurant and bar, and pricing that puts it firmly in the pace-of-play / walking-round / morning-before-the-lake category rather than in destination-round territory. For the North Idaho / Sandpoint / Schweitzer-Golf-Loop trip visitor, the Elks course is the inexpensive 9-hole supplement, paired naturally with The Idaho Club (Jack Nicklaus, 20 min north in Sandpoint) or StoneRidge (Jim Krause, Blanchard 30 min south) for a championship-round / muni-round mixed day.
