Hole 1

This dog-leg right opening hole presents a forgiving fairway for the first tee shot. The left side of the par 5 fairway is protected by a large bunker and a lone 60-foot pine tree. For those looking to go for the green, a right-center tee shot is preferred. A deep bunker, back-right of the green, awaits a left to right run-up approach shot. The safe second shot favoring the left side of the fairway leaves a short slightly elevated approach to the green.

Golf Course Layout

Designer Scott Miller’s vision was a golf course offering a stimulating round of golf, immersing players in a pristine park-like environment. The result is fairways, playing from tee to green on a lush carpet of bentgrass, accented with beds of brilliant red geraniums, acres of junipers and alpine water challenges of Lake Coeur d’Alene and Fernan Creek. The 6,803-yard, par 71 course boasts views of the lake from nearly every hole and is designed around four distinct geographic features: an expansive lakeshore, a forested ridge, gently rolling woodlands and Fernan Creek. Former PGA Tour Professional, Chip Beck, called The Coeur d’Alene Resort Golf Course one of the finest he has ever seen, lauding it as “a course playable and fun for families, yet challenging enough to test the pros.”

TRANSPORTATION

Two custom-designed, hand crafted Honduran Mahogany lake shuttle boats—the Eagle and the Double-Eagle—provide transportation between the resort and golf course. Custom-designed golf carts are equipped with ultra-comfortable seating, two beverage coolers, two USB charging outlets, sweater basket and a built-in covered waste container.

LAKEFRONT PRACTICE TEES

Lakefront over-water practice tee using floating golf balls, 2,400 sq. ft. putting green, 3,500 sq. ft. chipping green and practice sand bunkers. Certified PGA Professionals are available by reservation to assist with golf instruction and group clinics. Periodic golf equipment demos are occasionally featured at the practice tee. The Coeur d’Alene Resort Spa provides complimentary pre-round warm-up sports massages on the practice tee.
