Dubbed the “Lakeside Playground,” Coeur d’Alene,
Idaho sits beside arguably one of the most alluring lakes in the
Northwest with the world’s only floating moveable golf green
at The Coeur d’Alene Resort Golf Course, which improved to
No. 96 in Golf Digest’s prestigious 2017-2018 100 Greatest
Public Courses ranking and also made another golf publica-
tion’s “Top 100 Courses You Can Play.” High-speed lake
shuttle boats take hotel resort guests to and from the golf
course, a beautifully maintained, 6,803-yard layout designed
by Scott Miller.
Coeur d’Alene and the surrounding Idaho panhandle is
a golfer’s paradise, with more than a dozen other courses,
including the also highly touted Circling Raven Golf Club.
Another must-play is StoneRidge, a superb par-71, 7,008-yard
layout surrounded by North Idaho’s conifer-filled forests and
crystal blue lakes.
From restaurants and shops to spas and beyond, Coeur
d’Alene is a small town that gets hospitality right. The lakefront
downtown has more than 100 shops and restaurants with a
choice of accommodations, including the five-star lakefront
Coeur d’Alene Resort. The area boasts events and attrac-
tions happening all year long with worldwide easy access, as
Spokane International Airport (GEG) is just 30 minutes away.
