Golf in Moscow

Moscow is Latah County's seat and home to the University of Idaho, positioned on the rolling loess hills of the Palouse region near the Washington border. The Palouse—wheat-covered hills formed from wind-deposited glacial silt—creates one of the most distinctive agricultural landscapes in North America, and Moscow sits at its southern edge. The university presence shapes a walkable, culturally active community with strong arts, craft beverage, and outdoor recreation scenes that distinguish it from similarly sized Idaho communities. Two courses serve the area, including the University Golf Course accessible to the campus community and the Elks Lodge facility that connects to Moscow's civic organizational history.
