As a golfer, your experience begins with a thrilling high-speed ride in a sleek mahogany boat, whisking you across the waters of Lake Coeur d’Alene to a land of meticulously manicured fairways—and that's just the beginning. Gorgeous lake views on nearly every hole await, with every feature—from hole design to luxury carts and personalized forecaddie service—all expertly curated and attended to.

We have room for 32 players, so this is your chance to tackle the stunning course on the shores of Lake Coeur d'Alene!

Off-Road Driving Adventure

For non-golfers... take to the off-road trails in your very own ATV.  Experience some views few people get to see plus the excitement of backroad mountain driving on this guided excursion.  The outfitter has vehicles for two, three and four passengers.  

The guides do a good job assisting with learning how to drive safely, plus they know the best views and will keep our group together.  We're planning a three-hour excursion and will return to the resort in time for lunch and the afternoon general session.
