Idaho: the land of potatoes. Yes, potatoes—we all love them; they go with everything: steak, salmon, and without them, potato salad would just be, well, plain ol’ salad. Whether they are baked, scalloped, mashed or hashed, there’s no secret that the potato may very well be the gem of the state, but it there’s another special treasure to be found in Idaho: the Coeur d’Alene Golf & Spa Resort.
First opened in the late 1980’s, the Coeur d’Alene sits ashore the Lake Coeur d’Alene and is surrounded by rich greens and picturesque views. The mountains around it not only make for majestic sights, but contribute to the range in country weather and activities year-round.
Guests worldwide visit the Coeur d’Alene mainly for two things. Number one, is the unbeatable upscale elegance that the resort embodies throughout its grounds. In the 18-floor Main Tower of the resort are 338 rooms and suites, each featuring a unique look out onto the mountains, lake, or marina. LCD televisions, fireplaces, oversized bathrooms, elevated beds and more, make the sound-proofed rooms complete. A Coeur d’Alene penthouse suite has high-class luxury written all over it. With dining and entertaining rooms, hot tub and an elevated pool with a glass bottom, two bathrooms, and a full-time butler; the only thing that could match it is the breathtaking view.
The second thing that draws so much attention to the Coeur d’Alene resort is their highly-awarded, prestigious golf course. It features the world’s only floating green, also known as the 14th course. It takes a five-minute scenic trip on a beautifully handcrafted, Honduran, mahogany Eagle boats to get to the—often named the best course in America—golf course itself. These luscious greens of Bent grass are generously carpeted with effervescent red geraniums. A game of golf includes a personal forecaddie, ready-to-tee clubs, and an amenity-filled custom golf cart. Every single hole is accompanied with surrounding lake views that are sub-par to none. When the game’s over, the resort keeps on giving with a name-engraved bag tag and a trinket to remember the one-of-a-kind experience.
A day of hitting the greens is sure to stir up quite the appetite, and the Coeur d’Alene knows just how to fill it. In the mood for fresh Idaho trout, Fine steak—and perhaps potatoes on the side? Sushi? Pasta? Whatever you’re craving, the resort features 13 different dining options ranging from Beverly’s, an upscale, five-star restaurant, to Beachouse, a nautically-inspired bar and grill for the family to enjoy.
If golf isn’t your preferred way of relaxation, the resort has just the thing: the Spa at Coeur d’Alene resort. Become one with the alpine with signature treatments like the forest mineral scrub or Coeur (heart) stone massage. The Coeur d’Alene features a SilverTag Swiss Shower providing personalized hydrotherapy with 19 showerheads for pure body bliss.
