Hole Description
The first hole starts the trek into the forested part of the course. This hole is an undulating par 4, with a short, forced carry off the tee. There is a signature fir tree on the left side that is your aiming point. You don’t need to be long off the tee, but favoring the left side is best to avoid the thick forest on the right side. The second shot is a blind shot to a green with two bunkers on the left and a big green with lots of movement. Par is a good score here.

Hole Description
The second hole is a beautiful downhill par 4 with an elevated tee and two fairway bunkers protecting the fairway on the right. You can challenge the two bunkers off the tee and go for a shorter approach shot or use them as aiming bunkers and choose a club off the tee that will leave you short. The approach shot is still down-hill with the green protected by a large bunker to the right and a small “pot” style bunker on the left. The green slopes from back to front so being short of the pin will allow you to be aggressive with an uphill putt.

Hole Description
A beautiful dog leg right par 5, the third hole has a high-risk reward factor in play. The tee shot is somewhat blind with a fairway bunker on the right. The safe drive is to aim to the wide part of the fairway, left of the bunker, making it a three-shot par 5. Longer hitters may take a more aggressive line over the fairway bunker and have a chance at going for the green in two. The green setting is beautiful with a large Black Cottonwood tree on the left side and a stream crossing in front, which puts a premium on the accuracy of your layup shot.

Hole Description
The fourth hole is a par 3 that plays about one club downhill to a large green complex. Your tee shot is required to carry both a water hazard and bunker located in front of the green. The creek continues to the left of the green. To the right of the green is a bail out area.

Hole Description
The fifth hole is our hardest hole on the front nine. This is a difficult driving hole with three fairway bunkers on the right and a creek on the left. After your tee shot, you’re left with a long approach shot that plays slightly downhill. The green has one front left bunker and a bail out area to the right over another bunker that sits about 50 yards short of the green. The bail out area is a great place to hit it as it often kicks left and most of the time ends up on the green.

Hole Description
The sixth hole is a short par 4 with a funneling fairway, but given it plays uphill on the tee shot, it plays longer. A ball hit slightly left may catch one of the two bunkers on the left side of the fairway and a ball hit down the right side should kick left back to the middle of the fairway. The approach may be one of your shortest of the day, but it is not one of the easiest. A bunker sits in front of the middle of the green dividing it in two. A lower tier on the left is the easier pin placement to get to, but anything behind the bunker or to the right is more difficult.

Hole Description
Playing slightly uphill, this par 5 has a creek running up the left side and crossing in front of the green. There are two fairway bunkers that come into play off the tee on the left. A longer hitter can cut the corner on the left and set themselves up for an opportunity to go for the green in two. Shorter hitters may want to aim for the right fairway bunker as this is the wide part of the fairway. A layup down the right side of the fairway will put you in prime position with a short iron to approach the green. The green setting is very picturesque and sits over the creek and plays slightly uphill with plenty of slope to challenge even the best putters.

Hole Description
Hole Eight is a short, downhill par 4 with much strategy to consider. The hole features a split fairway allowing a longer hitter to go for the green to the right with their tee shot. The safe play is going down the left side of the hole hitting a tee shot that is between 230 and 250 giving you a short iron into the green. If your drive was successfully placed down the left side you are left with an approach navigating the hazard, a large cottonwood tree and 3 green side bunkers.

Hole Description
The ninth hole is a challenging and picturesque uphill par three that plays a half to a full club longer. The green is surrounded by 2 bunkers on the left and one bunker on the right with a false front in the middle. Being pin high on this green is no easy task as it slopes from back to front, leaving you with a big breaking putt.

Hole Description
Hole Ten is a short par 4 but is a difficult hole. The drive needs to be up the left side of the fairway while avoiding the bunkers on the left. Everything slopes from left to right and is a narrow landing area off the tee. The green is elevated with two signature pine trees just to the left of the green. Given the elevation change, you need to take one more club on the approach shot to cover the bunker that protects the majority of the green on the right. The green complex does not make this hole any easier.

Hole Description
Our eleventh hole is a slight dog leg left, par 4 with a fairway bunker on the right and native grass on the left. An elevated tee shot presents a great view of the entire hole and the ability to cut a little off the dog leg. Still, the best approach is from the right side of the fairway, as a bunker and water hazard protect the left side of the green.

Hole Description
Hole Twelve is a down-hill par 3 that boasts one of the bigger and more undulating greens on the course. The design of this green is really what makes this hole difficult. It has three sections: a raised front right, a lower middle, and an upper back left. If you find yourself in the wrong spot, you’ll have a very difficult putt.

Hole Description
The par four thirteenth hole is the most difficult hole on the course, with an uphill blind tee shot. The longer hitters can take their tee shot over the right fairway bunker leaving a mid-iron approach, but the ones that lay further back will have to carry a creek that sits 80 yards in front of the elevated green. The elevated and well bunkered green makes this hole very challenging.

Hole Description
For the fourteenth hole, the tee shot is slightly down-hill with a fairway bunker on the left and a relatively wide landing area. The layup is the key shot on this difficult par 5. The player can either lay up short of the fairway bunker and hazard on the right or try and hit it further up the left side into a tight landing area. This is a true three shot par 5 with a difficult green complex. The views from the green of beautiful Lake Coeur d’Alene are spectacular.

Hole Description
The par 3 fifteenth hole is one of the most unique in all of golf. It treats you with a 180-degree view of gorgeous Lake Coeur d’Alene and a down-hill tee shot with two greens to choose from. The larger of the two greens, the green on the left, measures 236 yards from our back tee but only plays about 200 yards. The green on the right is smaller and measures 199 yards from the back but plays 175 with the downhill.

Hole Description
The sixteenth hole is a short par 4 that gives you two options off the tee. A proper layup tee shot to the right side of the fairway will give you the best angle into the green to attack the pin with a short iron. If you decide to attempt to drive the green you will have to navigate a well bunkered green.

Hole Description
The seventeenth hole is a par 5 with a generous fairway. The longer hitters can choose to challenge the two fairway bunkers off the tee and leave yourself an opportunity to go for the green in two. If laying up is your decision, then you will have a bunker 80 yards from the green to deal with. You can layup to the skinny right side and have the optimal angle for an approach or lay back of the bunker and have a more difficult approach shot over a greenside bunker.

Hole Description
The final eighteenth hole is a par four, dogleg right, around a land mine of bunkers. The ideal tee shot here is middle to the left side of the fairway, far away from those sand traps. This will give you an approach shot up hill, adding 5-10 yards, over a greenside bunker. This difficult finishing hole does not let up once on the green. It’s a two-tiered green with plenty of break. Par on this hole is always a good score.
