About this course

Coeur d'Alene's floating green isn't a gimmick; it's a defining moment of audacity, a testament to the resort's commitment to the unforgettable. Carved into the forested hills above the eponymous lake, the course occupies terrain more akin to a mountain parkland than a traditional lakeside layout. It’s a scenic test where golfers navigate the undulations and strategically placed bunkers that make accuracy more rewarding than raw power. Designed by Robert Muir Graves in 1991 and later refined by Gene Bates, the layout presents a memorable routing. The course blends seamlessly with its natural surroundings. Each hole offers unique challenges and breathtaking views that capture the essence of Northern Idaho's beauty. From the elevated tees providing panoramic vistas, to the narrow fairways demanding precise shot placement, Coeur d'Alene favors strategic play over brute force. Beyond the golf, it is the culture of luxury and service that distinguishes Coeur d'Alene. Boat transfers whisk players to the floating green, a memorable touch. A dedicated caddie program enhances the experience. The club's commitment to excellence, exemplified by its iconic 14th hole, cements its status as a destination where golf becomes a spectacle.

Getting there

The journey to The Coeur d'Alene Resort Golf Course begins at Spokane International Airport (GEG), situated roughly ninety minutes to the west across the Washington-Idaho border, or alternatively through Boise Airport (BOI) for those routing from the south - a more expansive four-hour drive through high desert and mountain passes. The final approach winds eastward through the forested spine of the Idaho Panhandle, descending gradually into the pristine alpine valley that cradles the resort's lakeside setting. As you near Coeur d'Alene proper, the landscape shifts from dense conifer forest to glimpses of the crystalline waters of Lake Coeur d'Alene itself, with the resort's distinctive floating boardwalk and championship layout emerging as a serene punctuation to the mountain drive. The arrival at The Coeur d'Alene Resort marks the transition from wilderness passage to one of the West's most storied golf destinations, where the course unfolds between the shoreline and the surrounding peaks.
