Coeur d'Alene and the floating green. · Vol. 01

The Ultimate
Idaho Golf Trip.

Idaho is Coeur d'Alene Resort, the floating-green par-3 14th hole, the boat shuttle to the tee, and not much else in the public-access bracket. The Club at Black Rock (Jim Engh) and Gozzer Ranch (Tom Fazio) add the private side. Sun Valley's Trail Creek is the mountain-summer alternative further south.
