The Hayden Lake Country Club is a member-owned club rich in history and tradition.

Once a favorite gathering place for the Coeur d’Alene Indian Tribe, the Club location on the shores of Hayden Lake was originally the site of the Bozanta Tavern. J.C. Olmsted, of the distinguished Brookline, Massachusetts Firm of landscape architects who designed New York’s Central Park, was brought out to plan the grounds.

The lakeside resort was designed in 1907 by the leading Northwest architect of the era. In 1927, ownership of the tavern was transferred. It then became known as The Hayden Lake Country Club, and today is regarded as one of the premier clubs in the Western United States.

Opened on 22 June 1897, the day of a public holiday to mark Queen Victoria’s Diamond Jubilee. The course originally had only 12 holes and was intended for ladies and beginners, but successive re-designs has left the course arguably the toughest in the town.

The course lies on the narrow strip of land between the New Course and the West Sands, and is famous for it’s exposed raised tees. Since it was opened in 1897, the Jubilee Course has undergone three major re-designs.

In 1902, the course was extended to 18 holes. This could only be done with the agreement of the Rifle and Artillery Volunteers, which saw play stopped to allow them to practice at the butts towards the end of the course.

In 1938, work began under the guidance of Willie Auchterlonie (Open Champion in 1893). The war years saw work almost stop, but Willie finally struck a drive from the first tee to open the course in 1946.

In 1988, the last redesign was undertaken by Donald Steel. Many holes were lengthened through the addition of new raised tees and, given the proximity to the Bay, the chance for the famous unruly winds to play havoc with many a drive.

Opened in the spring of 1895, the New Course wouldn’t generally be considered as such. As St Andrews’ second course, being built to cater to the increasing demand for golf in the Auld Toun, the name was chosen simply to distinguish it from its older and more illustrious sibling, the Old Course.

It’s a classic links course built to complement the land’s natural features. Shared fairways characterize the traditional out-and-back layout, many well-designed bunkers, and the typically St Andrewan feature of a shared double green for the 3rd and 15th holes.

The New is a favorite course of many local golfers due to the character and fairness of the course

It would be a real disappointment to visit St Andrews and not play the New.

Renowned worldwide as the “Home of Golf”, the Old Course is one of the oldest golf courses in the world having been in use since approximately 1400AD. The Old Course has played host to many of the golf’s greatest players and most dramatic moments.

The Old Course originally consisted of 22 holes (11 out & 11 in), with golfers playing to the same hole in both directions. In 1764, the society of St Andrews Golfers (later the Royal and Ancient Golf Club) decided that the first four holes were too short and combined them to form two holes. This reduced the course to 18 holes and became the standard for golf courses worldwide. The Old Course has many famous features; these include the Swilken Bridge over the burn, which crosses the 1st and 18th fairways, and the 112 bunkers, including “Strath” on the 11th, “Hell” on the 14th and the “Road Bunker” on the infamous 17th or Road Hole.

One of the unique features of the Old Course is the huge double greens – where seven greens are shared by two holes each. Only the 1st, 9th, 17th, and 18th holes have their own greens. These double greens are understandably very large, with 200 feet putts quite possible.

Another strange feature is that the course can be played in either direction, clockwise or anti-clockwise. Today, the direction of play is anti-clockwise, although the clockwise play is occasionally permitted.

Originally, the course was reversed every week to let the grass recover.

Renowned worldwide as the “Home of Golf”, the Old Course is one of the oldest golf courses in the world having been in use since approximately 1400AD. The Old Course has played host to many of the golf’s greatest players and most dramatic moments.

The Old Course originally consisted of 22 holes (11 out & 11 in), with golfers playing to the same hole in both directions. In 1764, the society of St Andrews Golfers (which later became the Royal and Ancient Golf Club) decided that the first four holes were too short and combined them to form two holes. This reduced the course to 18 holes and created what has become the standard for golf courses throughout the world.The Old Course has many famous features, these include the Swilken Bridge over the burn which crosses the 1st and 18th fairways, and the 112 bunkers, including “Strath” on the 11th, “Hell” on the 14th and the “Road Bunker” on the infamous 17th or Road Hole.

One of the unique features of the Old Course is the huge double greens – where seven greens are shared by two holes each. Only the 1st, 9th, 17th and 18th holes have their own greens. These double greens are understandably very large, with 200 feet putts quite possible.

Another strange feature is that the course can be played in either direction, clockwise or anti-clockwise. Today, the direction of play is anti-clockwise, although clockwise play in occasionally permitted. Originally, the course was reversed every week in order to let the grass recover.
