Meridian, ID

TimberStone Golf Course is a public course located in Caldwell, Idaho, though it is sometimes associated with the Meridian area in regional directories. The land was originally a working farm growing sugar beets, beans, and wheat before former owner Bruce Barlett commissioned architect John Stiedel to design the course. The layout later fell into disrepair before being restored and reopened. It has been recognized in recent years as one of Idaho's top-rated public golf courses.

Yakima, WA

Apple Tree Golf Course is located in Yakima, Washington, built through a century-old apple orchard that continues to bear fruit alongside the fairways.

The front nine plays over rolling ground shaped by the orchard terrain with water coming into play on several holes, while the back nine winds through an adjoining housing development. The course is known for its par-3 17th hole, which features an apple-shaped island green exceeding 10,000 square feet. It plays to a par of 72 across 18 holes, measuring 6,961 yards from the back tees.
