My husband & I played two rounds this week and had an absolute blast. Every single staff member from the time you enter the gate was so friendly and accommodating, & our forecaddie Jaben was the best!! We requested him again on day 2 and they made it happen. The course was beautiful, and pace of play was great (we played on Tuesday & Wednesday). 10/10 experience, we cant wait to come back next year!

Really enjoyed the course this time, having played it once before 25 years ago. I've got a few more courses under my belt since then and better suited to appreciate the entire layout. The entire course was in phenomenal condition and the forecaddie we had was awesome. Would like to have another crack at hole 11, but my saving grace was a nice tee shot onto the floating green.

Beautiful course, but overrated resort course. Pace of play is 5 hours plus. You’re forced to have a caddie and walking highly discouraged. Pompous staff who like to brag how the only reason it’s not too 100 is they refuse to pay golf digest. It’s not top 100 bc the fairways are chewed up and the sand is more fitting for a municipal course.. Shot distances are also very similar hole to Hole. The forecaddie is of of little value trying to navigate 4 separate players- they certainly don’t help with the pace of play. The floating green is a neat attraction but not worth the price.

I had an incredible time playing at Coeur d’Alene golf course. The course was beautiful, and thanks to our awesome forecaddie, Dave, I shot my best score ever! He was knowledgeable, helpful, and made the whole round more fun. I’d highly recommend him to anyone — he really made a difference. Looking forward to coming back!

The Coeur d’Alene Resort Golf Course is one of my all time favorites. It is a really fun resort course. Very favorable bounces. The only knock i have is that the greens are a bit slow. Probably running at a 9. Playing it the day after Circling Raven made it difficult to get the ball to the hole. The novelty of the floating green is always fun. The wind was blowing off the lake into our faces pretty hard, so that shot was even more difficult. The course is immaculate. There is no expense spared on manicuring this coarse. Flowers everywhere, each fairway is perfect. Greens are clean and role smooth. Caddies always add a great feature. All around great experience.
