Horn Rapids Golf Course

About This Course: A Links Style Test in Northwest Richland

Horn Rapids Golf Course is a privately owned course in northwest Richland that is open to the public, and the reason to make the drive is a demanding Keith Foster layout. It plays 6,990 yards from the Black tees with a slope of 137, every par 3 measures 200 yards or more from the back, and the round ends on a par 5 that Cascade Golfer calls a fan favorite.

The course puts it simply: everyone is welcome, and anyone can eat, practice or play. There is a driving range and putting green, Rewster’s Craft Bar and Grill on site, and 2026 green fees that start at $33 for a twilight nine.

Horn Rapids Golf Course Fast Facts

Course Overview

Keith Foster designed Horn Rapids as a target golf course for a master planned community, according to Golf Course News in July 1993, with Fore Inc. as the builder. It opened in 1994 as a links style course and was owned for years by Bob Soushek of Fore Inc. In March 2019 Brad Rew, a construction company owner, bought it for $1.5 million and announced plans to fix the irrigation, add a practice facility and build a new clubhouse. Head Professional Josh Garza worked carts and caddie duty at Horn Rapids at 15.

The card rewards length and long irons. The four par 5s run 497 to 579 yards, five of the ten par 4s measure 414 yards or more, and the par 3s run 200 to 227 yards from the Black tees. The front nine plays 3,521 yards and the back nine 3,469. Most players will be happier at the Blue tees (6,709 yards) or the White tees (6,267), and the Gold, Red and Aqua tees bring it down to 4,367 yards.

Hole by Hole Highlights

Yardages are from the Black tees, from the course’s own scorecard.

• Hole 1, 321 yards, par 4: A short opener and the number 15 handicap. Ease into the round with a controlled tee shot.
• Hole 2, 453 yards, par 4: The longest par 4 on the course and the number 1 handicap hole. Bogey is no disaster here.
• Hole 6, 227 yards, par 3: The longest par 3. Most players need a hybrid or fairway wood.
• Hole 9, 390 yards, par 4: The course layout map shows ponds around the ninth green, right beside the pro shop.
• Hole 12, 579 yards, par 5: The longest hole on the course and the number 2 handicap. Plan it as three shots.
• Hole 13, 200 yards, par 3: The shortest par 3, and it still asks for a long iron from the back.
• Hole 16, 432 yards, par 4: The number 4 handicap hole, a long par 4 to start the finish.
• Hole 18, 497 yards, par 5: The shortest par 5 and, in Cascade Golfer’s words, a fan favorite where you have a good chance at a birdie.

How to Score Here

• Bring your long irons and hybrids. All four par 3s are 200 yards or more from the Black tees.
• Play hole 2 for bogey and do not chase it. It is the number 1 handicap hole.
• Score on the short holes: the 321 yard opener and the 497 yard closing par 5 are your best birdie chances.
• Pick the tees that fit your game. A 137 slope from the Blacks is a serious test; the Blue and White tees still play over 6,200 yards.

Final Word

Horn Rapids gives Tri-Cities golfers a demanding Keith Foster design with 2026 green fees from $33, a range, a craft bar and grill, and a closing par 5 built for one last birdie.
