Frequently Asked Questions

What's the best time of year to golf in Benewah County?

We've found late spring through early fall offers the best conditions at the county's sole course, St. Maries Golf Course. You'll avoid the heavy winter snows and enjoy lush fairways, though summer can get busy with local play.

Is Benewah County a good destination for a dedicated golf trip?

Honestly, with just one course, Benewah County isn't a multi-day golf marathon destination. We recommend it as a charming stop for a single round if you're exploring the Idaho panhandle, perhaps combined with fishing or hiking along the St. Joe River.

What can I expect from the golf course in Benewah County?

You'll find St. Maries Golf Course to be a well-maintained, welcoming public track, perfect for a relaxed round. It's not a championship layout, but the tree-lined fairways and views of the St. Joe River offer a genuinely pleasant experience without breaking the bank.

Are there any unique challenges or signature holes at Benewah County's course?

While not overly long, St. Maries Golf Course presents some tight, tree-lined holes that demand accuracy, especially on the back nine. We particularly enjoy the par-3 17th, which requires a precise shot over a ravine to a well-guarded green.

What's the typical cost to play golf in Benewah County?

Playing a round at St. Maries Golf Course is refreshingly affordable, especially compared to resort courses in the region. Expect green fees to be in the $30-$50 range for 18 holes, making it excellent value for a casual day on the links.
