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.
