Stoneridge Golf Course

Stoneridge Golf Course occupies rolling terrain in Blanchard, a small community in northern Idaho's Panhandle region, roughly twenty miles north of Coeur d'Alene. Designed by Jim Krause and opened in the mid-1990s, the course reflects the straightforward, playable approach common to Pacific Northwest daily-fee layouts of that era. The property sits amid forested hillsides and open meadowland characteristic of the region's transition zone between mountain and lake country. The routing makes use of natural elevation changes, with several holes playing uphill or downhill through corridors of pine and fir. Water features appear on a handful of holes, and the design incorporates both strategic bunkering and native grasses that frame fairways and greens. The course serves primarily local and regional golfers, offering a woodland setting without the resort pricing found closer to Lake Coeur d'Alene. Stoneridge operates as a public facility with a modest clubhouse and practice area. The layout provides a mix of risk-reward opportunities and straightforward holes, suitable for a range of skill levels. Its location in a quieter part of the Idaho Panhandle gives it a more secluded feel than courses in the busier tourist corridors to the south, and the surrounding landscape offers views of the nearby Selkirk and Cabinet mountain ranges on clear days.
