In the mood for a relaxing day on the golf course? Make it an experience to remember and head to the world’s only floating golf course. Just when you thought you knew everything there was to know about Idaho, you discover a fascinating new tidbit that blows you away. It’s true. The only floating green in the world is located in Coeur d’Alene and it makes for one of the best golfing experiences you’ll ever have. Take a look at this incredible beauty and get ready to plan your next golfing trip.
Located at the Coeur d'Alene Resort is a golf enthusiast's dream come true—the world's only floating green. It's no wonder this golf course has consistently been ranked as one of the best in the world by magazines like Golf Digest and Golf Magazine.
They say that the golf course at Coeur d'Alene isn't just an escape, but an all-inclusive experience. Not only is the course home to a floating green but it's totally surrounded by stunning beauty. The 18-hole course is comprised of finely manicured greens that will totally floor you with their beauty.
However, the main highlight of the golf course is the floating green at the 14th hole. This hole is by far the most anticipated. Here golfers take their shots and hope that their ball lands on the island.
If they miss, the ball sinks to the bottom of the lake to be collected at the end of the season. However, if by a stroke of luck your ball lands on the island then you'll get to take the boat over to the famous floating green.
Players will board a small passenger ferry lovingly called "Putter" to the island. A boat attendant is there to assist you on and off the boat, and afterwards you'll even be awarded with a certificate of achievement.
The man-made green is really something. At 15,000 square feet, it's like a little slice of heaven in the middle of Lake Coeur d'Alene. Not only does it float, but the green moves as well. Controlled by a computer, the green can move to different distances.
The lake's floating green is one of the most iconic sights attributed to Coeur d'Alene. It just goes to show that Idaho is home to all sorts of one-of-a-kind treasures.
