Definitely agree! I love the Black Rock course near Coeur d’Alene. The signature hole is breathtaking with lake views. Have you played there?

I’ve heard a lot about the Circling Raven Golf Club. The layout is designed to blend with the natural environment, which is uncommon and really refreshing. Does anyone know about the upcoming tournaments there?
Yes! They host some fantastic events. The tournament atmosphere there is electric, especially during the summer months when the weather is perfect.
Besides the scenery, the different terrains in Idaho can be extremely challenging. The elevation changes on courses like Tamarack Resort add an extra layer of difficulty. What’s everyone’s take on altitude affecting play?
It definitely affects your club selection! I find it tricky sometimes but it pushes you to improve. Anyone else have tips for handling altitude?
I’ve played at Eagle Hills Golf Course, which has a fun mix of difficult holes and beautiful scenery. The par 3s can be especially memorable. Anyone else find a favorite par 3 in Idaho?
The 17th at River Birch is a classic! It’s short but visually intimidating over water. Makes for a fun challenge, especially on tournament day!

I think we need to highlight the unique weather conditions in Idaho. The windy days can throw off your game. Ever had to make a drastic change to your swing because of the wind?
Absolutely! I’ve learned to adjust my grips and aim off-target in windy conditions. It’s so key to stay adaptable. What’s everyone else doing to cope?

So true! A well-kept course can make all the difference. I get frustrated when the conditions aren’t up to par (pun intended!).
Idaho’s golf community is so supportive. I love how players encourage each other, regardless of skill level. It’s refreshing! Does anyone have tips for improving at a faster rate?
Exactly! Having a good group of friends to tee off with pushes you to improve. Just don’t let them steal all your birdies!
If you’re planning on golfing in Idaho, you might want to check out Coeur d’Alene Resort Golf Course. The views are stunning, especially in the spring! Also, try to visit during the early morning for less crowd and great weather.
Absolutely! Coeur d’Alene is definitely a gem. I also found that late September is a great time because the temperature is just right and the course conditions are superb!
Don’t forget to gear up for Idaho’s unpredictable weather! I always bring waterproofs, especially in spring. It can rain out of nowhere. A good umbrella never hurts!
True! Quick changes in weather can be tricky. Personally, I find using a light jacket works best – easy to pack and keeps you warm without being too bulky.
Right on! And remember golfing etiquette! It’s common to let faster players through. I’ve seen many clashes over this!
