The fertile countryside of the Palouse region, which includes Moscow, Idaho, and Pullman, Washington, is celebrated for its unique beauty and prolific crop production. But it’s also prized by bikers, hikers and even outdoor athletes aiming for birdies and eagles. “The Palouse is an outstanding destination for golfers, with a strong concentration of highquality courses,” says Michael Wagner, head pro at Moscow’s Vandal Golf Course, an 18-hole public course owned and operated by the University of Idaho.
