Personally, I'm all for MORE golf, more courses, BUT... I'd like to see Spokane have at least one nice, "finished" course. Meaning a course that a traveler could drive up to the #1 tee and proceed to play the course without having to wander around, guessing at the next target or tee location.
I like the alternates at High Bridge, and it is just a work party or two from being two complete, fun, layouts. Let's finish it.
Downriver is a beautiful location and was one of the toughest courses in the state, but it wasn't very cooperative to play. It's still a great place to play, and whatever layout gets completed will be fun. I'm leaning toward completing/ adjusting the current layout, with alternates if possible, and moving on to other parks. The Downriver ball Golf Course is the oldest in the city, not the toughest, or longest, but still a fun, playable course. Let's step in line with a cohesive, completely playable, course, famous for it's history and beauty, not it's difficulty.

Excellent points, Steve. For Downriver: addressing the initial issues with certain holes, creating alternates where they will not recreate the same types of issues and getting up signage makes sense to me given the "growth spurt" we are having. Who would have thunk even a year ago we would have such opportunities!
