The North Idaho Golf Guide

The Northwest's most decorated private course — a bold Jim Engh routing across nearly 700 gated acres above Lake Coeur d'Alene, with a private beach club and marina. Golf Digest's Best New Private Course of 2003 and long the only Idaho course on its national Top 100.

A 1,000-acre private golf and sporting club in the middle of a sweeping reinvention — a completely re-routed Tom Weiskopf course, a new 20,000-square-foot clubhouse, and a Lakehouse with StanCraft cruises and a floating waterpark. Mountain-modern Fairway Lodges from $2M.

Discovery Land Company's private summer world on a bluff above the lake — a Top-30 Tom Fazio course with shaggy bunkers and black-rock outcroppings, two marinas, and a family-first club culture. One of the most coveted memberships in the Northwest.

Home of the world's first and only floating, movable island green — a 2,200-ton marvel on the 14th. A Scott Miller masterpiece reached by mahogany boat, once named "America's Most Beautiful Resort Golf Course," and the anchor of downtown Coeur d'Alene's lakefront luxury.

Idaho's #1 course you can play — a Gene Bates design winding 7,189 yards through 620 acres of wetland, forest, and Palouse grassland at the Coeur d'Alene Casino Resort. Voted Golfweek's best in the state and a fixture on Golf Magazine's Top 100 You Can Play.

The birthplace of serious golf in Idaho. Founded in 1907 and expanded to a full 18 holes by 1912, Hayden Lake Country Club is the oldest course in the state — a private, member-owned club set on the pine-lined shores of Hayden Lake, just north of Coeur d'Alene. Tradition, a private marina, and lakefront dining make it one of North Idaho's most enduring addresses.

Idaho's only Jack Nicklaus Signature course, routed along the Pack River beneath Schweitzer near Sandpoint. A reborn community planned for 345 luxury homes — from fairway lodge homes to Moose Mountain estates with panoramic Lake Pend Oreille views — with a new clubhouse and a planned marina.
