The Coeur d'Alene Resort Golf Course
Home of the World's Only Floating Green
The Coeur d'Alene Resort Golf Course is nestled in the foothills of the Rocky Mountains on the shores of beautiful Lake Coeur d'Alene in North Idaho. Opening in 1991 to unprecedented reviews and awards, The Coeur d'Alene Resort Golf Course established itself as a premier destination golf course debuting as the #11 resort golf course in the nation, while unveiling an extraordinary #1 ranking in the category of "Beauty and Esthetics" by Golf Digest.

“Coeur d'Alene is what every resort should be. It's not just upscale, it's posh. You aren't just pampered here, you're spoiled. It's not just an escape, it's an experience...”
The Coeur d'Alene Resort has been christened "America's Greatest Golf Experience" based on amenities both seen and unseen, that golfers enjoy at this Northwest Gem.
Designer Scott Miller's vision was to create a golf course that offered a stimulating round of golf, surrounded by a park-like environment. The result is fairways that play from tee to green on lush carpets of Bent Grass, accented with beds of brilliant red Geraniums, acres of fragrant Junipers and the mountain water challenges of Lake Coeur d'Alene and Fernan Creek. The 6,803 yard, par 71 course is designed around four distinct geographic features: an expansive lakeshore, a forested ridge, gently rolling woodlands and Fernan Creek, a revitalized trout stream. Chip Beck, PGA Tour Player and winner of the 1992 Merrill Lynch Shootout at the Coeur d'Alene Resort, called the Idaho course one of the finest he has ever seen, lauding it as a course playable for families, yet challenging enough to test the pros.
What you can expect...
Each hole offers five tees providing each player ability level with a challenging, yet playable golf course. As our special golf Guest, you are transported from The Resort to the golf course via handcrafted mahogany lake shuttles, dubbed The Eagle & The Double Eagle. Once at the golf course, you are greeted at the dock by your group's personal forecaddie for the day. Each group of players is then accompanied to the pro shop where you will find your clubs cleaned and preloaded on state-of-the-art custom golf carts, complete with all the amenities. Then it's off to the scenic over-water practice facility to warm-up the golf game and your body with a complimentary sports massage. As you play the golf course, you will soon be enveloped in finely manicured green grass, vibrant red geraniums, and the fresh aroma of North Idaho Pine Trees. The font nine takes you through scenic elevated par 3's set on a woodland hillside with panoramic vista views of Lake Coeur d'Alene and finishes with a long, yet open 601 yard par 5.
Play continues through the 9-hole turn where your lunch order is taken by your caddy and faxed in to the Floating Green Restaurant. Lunch is delivered in a hand-woven picnic basket as play continues. The next four holes are some of the most breathtaking you will ever play, as the anticipation builds towards the world renowned 14th hole, the worlds only par 3 floating movable island green. Don't be intimidated by the 15,000 sq. ft. putting surface as it beckons your challenge, quietly floating 150 yards off the lakeshore. Confidence is your key to success. Board the Putter Boat shuttle, and enjoy the short ride over to finish the most unforgettable island golf green in the world. Don't misread your putt... remember, everything breaks towards the water.
