Played today and what a wonderful golf course. It is a private course, that allows outside play. Located in Hayden, just N of Coeur d'Alene, on Lake Avondale. The course is immaculate and while playing to 6614 from the tips, most of the front 9 is lined with huge pine trees, which makes it imperative to stay in the fairway. The design of the course is a great mixture of holes, which is truly enjoyable. # 1 is a par 4, fronted by large pond, large deep bunkers and a 2 tiered green (just how you want to start on a course you have never played). Two beautiful par 3's, that use water, sand, elevation and undulating greens, due to their length (both short but difficult). The back nine is somewhat flatter, until you reach 17/18. Back to back par fives, that encompass doglegs, trees, elevation and water. Tee boxes were beautiful. Fairways had the perfect grass with great lies and roll. Bunkers were great and in terrific shape. Very little rough and what there was, was playable. Greens were outstanding and chipped and putted beautifully all round. Customer service was excellent at all levels. Great food with a great outside eating area. Highly recommended.
