If golf is your game of choice, put Sandpoint on your scorecard. Tucked between mountain peaks and sparkling Lake Pend Oreille, there are six scenic courses within easy reach — each with its own charm and challenge. Plus, for those who like disc golf, there are 10 splendid courses among four disc golf destinations.
The crown jewel for golfers is The Idaho Club, Idaho’s only Jack Nicklaus Signature Course. Winding through lush forested hills and along the Pack River, it’s as stunning as it is satisfying to play — with its many water hazards, a true bucket-list round. It’s just 10 minutes east of town.
Right in town, the friendly Elks Golf Course offers a classic, walkable nine. A half hour north, Mirror Lake Golf Course in Bonners Ferry delivers well-kept fairways and dramatic mountain backdrops framing the green Kootenai Valley. Thirty minutes west, The Ranch Club in Priest River has a rustic, welcoming vibe.
A bit farther out, it’s roughly an hour to Priest Lake Golf Course, a forest-lined gem with quiet fairways and mountain views. Finally, about 50 minutes south is StoneRidge Golf Course in Blanchard, where 18 championship holes are set among rolling hills and ponds.

Meanwhile, for that other brand of golf: Sandpoint offers some of the finest disc golf in Idaho. Right by town are the free public 18-hole Baldfoot and nine-hole Littlefoot courses. The pay-to-play Caliber Disc Golf has two acclaimed pro-level courses, while Schweitzer has 18 holes amid glorious alpine scenery (and free). Finally, 40 minutes south, Farragut State Park has five 18-hole courses for all skill levels. Get info on all courses below.
