Frequently Asked Questions

How do you actually play the famous floating green at Coeur d'Alene?

This is the highlight, no doubt. You'll take a short boat ride from the 13th green to the 14th tee, where a dedicated captain will ferry you to and from the green after your shot. It's a truly unique experience, but don't let the spectacle distract you from the shot itself-it's a tough one!

When is the best time of year to play Coeur d'Alene Golf Club for ideal conditions?

We highly recommend late spring (May-June) or early fall (September-early October) for the best experience. The summer months can get quite hot and crowded, while spring and fall offer cooler temperatures, vibrant scenery, and often a slightly more relaxed pace. Just be prepared for potential afternoon breezes off the lake.

Is playing Coeur d'Alene Golf Club worth the premium price tag?

Absolutely, if you're looking for a truly memorable, all-inclusive golf experience. Your green fee covers everything from a forecaddie (mandatory and excellent), a luxury golf cart, and even a personalized bag tag. It's an investment, but the impeccable service, stunning views, and the sheer novelty of the floating green make it a bucket-list round.

Do I need to stay at the Coeur d'Alene Resort to play the golf course?

While staying at the resort offers preferred tee times and often package deals, it's not strictly required to book a round. However, we strongly advise booking well in advance, especially if you're not a resort guest, as prime tee times fill up quickly. The resort stay truly enhances the overall luxury experience, making it a seamless golf getaway.

What's the pace of play like, and how do the mandatory forecaddies enhance the round?

The pace is generally excellent, kept moving efficiently by the resort's well-trained staff and the mandatory forecaddies. Your forecaddie is a game-changer-they'll read putts, help with yardage, find errant shots, and share local insights, allowing you to fully immerse yourself in the round. It elevates the experience from just a golf game to a truly pampered outing.
