Avondale Golf Club

Nestled among native North Idaho pines in Hayden, Idaho, Avondale Golf Club is a par 72 course that appeals to golfers of all playing levels. The member-owned but public-access course features 18 holes with varying difficulty across five tee boxes, ranging from 257 to 567 yards depending on the hole and selected tees.

The course layout balances challenge with accessibility, proving demanding for low-handicappers while remaining enjoyable for recreational golfers. Notable characteristics include well-conditioned greens—among the best in North Idaho—with multiple holes featuring multi-tiered putting surfaces that demand careful pin position assessment. Several signature holes showcase strategic design: Hole 2 presents a short par 3 over water, Hole 13 offers a risk-reward par 5 with water hazards, and Hole 17 challenges players with length and a two-tiered green.

Throughout the course, strategic bunkering and out-of-bounds markers test shot placement. The design emphasizes accuracy over distance on many holes, with doglegs and tree-lined fairways requiring thoughtful club selection. Water hazards appear on select holes, adding complexity to the overall challenge.
