In the Panhandle of Idaho, about a half hour East of Spokane, sits the lake and town of Coeur d'Alene, "Golf's New Promised Land". Four great resorts: Highlands in neighboring Post Falls, Hidden Lakes in Sandpoint (1 hour), and Stoneridge in Blanchard (3/4 hour), as well as the famous Coeur d'Alene Resort, are featured with this destination. The beautiful Coeur d'Alene Resort Golf Course is designed around forested rolling hills, a creek and the lake (viewable from every hole), with fabulous greens, fairways, and 10's of 1000's of flowers. Fax an order on #9 Tee and a picnic basket is delivered on #10 Tee. It is a world-class course most noted for its famous floating green - yes, a floating green that changes position every day (in season) and accessed by water taxi to finish out the hole. The course has received numerous awards from various magazines and associations - awards such as Top 20 in America, Top 20 in the World, Top for America's "Sweet 16", and others.
If making this a family trip check out Silverwood Theme Park, Wild Waters Waterslide Park, take a cruise on the lake, or visit the Coeur d'Alene Tribal Casino in Worley (1/2 hour).
