Esmeralda Golf Course

Esmeralda Golf Course, constructed in 1956, is located in Northeast Spokane and serves as the city's most played municipal course. The 18-hole course features a par 70 layout spanning 6,331 yards from the blue tees. Its defining characteristic is open spaces combined with flat fairways lined with over 2,000 trees, creating a welcoming environment for golfers of all skill levels.

The course design makes it relatively easy to break 100, though challenging to achieve par. These attributes have made it particularly popular with seniors and beginners seeking an accessible playing experience. The well-maintained fairways and straightforward layout provide an ideal setting for golfers to develop their skills without excessive difficulty.

Course ratings vary by tee selection, with men's blue at 68.3/111 and women's blue at 72.9/120. The combination of manicured fairways, abundant tree coverage, and manageable terrain creates a course that accommodates diverse skill levels while maintaining playability standards expected of a municipal facility.
