Golf in Sandpoint, Bonner County, & North Idaho
Well, the thought of golf
in North Idaho may not occur to the avid golf enthusiast, but lovers of the
links are finding out why so many are making the Idaho Panhandle a golfing
destination. Most recently, Jack Nicklaus bought award-winning Hidden Lakes
in Sandpoint, designing the course himself. Apparently, though Jack Nicklaus
companies owns many golf courses, he only has designed a handful personally.
So, this course should be something really special. Rumors abound that
Arnold Palmer has been looking for a spot to build another of his
challenging courses in the same area. Coeur d'Alene has another
world-famous, award-winning golf course at CdA Resort, with perhaps one of
the most recognizable greens in the world with their floating green, and in
nearby Priest River, Settlement Golf course is underway.

But golf alone is not the only thing to attract
putters from around the globe. Sure, golfers want great fairways, but the area
has so much more that it becomes the destination of choice for individuals and
families alike. When not teeing off, the golf-oriented can go boating or fishing
on any one of our many mountain lakes. These are not tiny lakes either. Lake
Pend Oreille is the 2nd largest in the west with 111 miles of shoreline, and
Lake Coeur d'Alene, Hayden Lake, and Lake Cocolalla are no small matters either.
Great hunting, hiking, biking, and swimming are also around in great abundance.
You can parasail, water ski, jet ski, or white water within minutes of virtually
every hole.
For family fun there is also great art colonies
with galleries galore, and the restaurants are known for every kind of cuisine.
There is Silverwood Theme Park, water parks, and museums. We are one of the
nation's greatest rail watching areas, and if all of this isn't enough, during
parts of the season, you can even go snow skiing at many, many ski resorts.
So, golf ain't bad, and it's getting better. But
throw in the rest of it, and you have a golf vacation and place to live that is
truly spectacular.
