The Coeur d’Alene Casino Resort Hotel is set to open Circling Raven Golf Club on April 3, marking the beginning of its 22nd season. This highly anticipated opening introduces a variety of enhancements and new offerings at what is consistently recognized as Idaho’s premier public golf course.
A representative from the club emphasized that while top rankings by objective experts are a source of pride, they are merely the surface. “Exceptional customer service, immaculate course conditions, uniquely designed holes, and a stunning natural environment are the fundamental elements players rely on when they choose Circling Raven,” the representative stated.
Golfers visiting the Gene Bates-designed championship course this season can look forward to several key improvements and additions:
- The expansive 25-acre practice facility now features detailed wildlife silhouettes with laser-measured yardages.
- New Women’s “Boot Camps” combine professional instruction and training with a round of 9 holes.
- The award-winning pro shop boasts refreshed merchandise and innovative displays.
- The clubhouse’s Twisted Earth bar and grill has updated its menu with enhanced selections.
- Sections of the course now include a new cart path for improved navigation.
- Wooden bridges across the course have been revitalized through an engineer-supervised maintenance project.
- The popular Raven Cards, value-laden frequent player cards, continue to offer substantial perks and savings.
Circling Raven offers two distinct seasonal pricing segments: Shoulder Season (from opening day until May 17) and Peak Season (from May 18 through October 4). Shoulder Season rates are typically $30-$40 less than Peak rates, with variations based on whether it’s 9 or 18 holes, stay-and-play packages, and the day of the week.
The Raven Card, available for $599, provides an impressive array of benefits and cost savings, including:
- One complimentary round (Monday–Thursday, during the current season).
- $40 off both 18-hole and 9-hole green fees.
- “Raven Hour”: unlimited play for three hours before sunset for $75.
- Complimentary entry to the exclusive Raven Card Tournament.
- Monthly group instruction sessions (June–September).
- Discounts on in-stock merchandise.
- All-season access to the practice facility.
- Buy-one-get-one-free simulator suite hours, alongside numerous other advantages.
To book golf rounds or stay-and-play packages, which include golf for two and a one-night stay (double occupancy) at the award-winning resort, guests are encouraged to call 1-800-523-2464.
Owned and operated by the Coeur d’Alene Tribe, Circling Raven is named in honor of a revered tribal leader who guided the Tribe through challenging periods. Since its grand opening, the club has garnered numerous prestigious accolades, including recognition in categories such as “Top Casino Courses in America,” “Best in State,” “Top 100 Resort Courses,” and “Pro Shop Merchandiser of the Year.”
