Thinking About Living in Coeur d'Alene Resort Golf Course?
Get connected with a local real-estate specialist who understands Coeur d'Alene Resort Golf Course and the surrounding North Idaho & Coeur d'Alene golf market.
The Coeur d'Alene Resort Golf Course, opened in 1991 and designed by Scott Miller, is one of American golf's most famous single holes: the world's only floating, movable green, installed on the 14th hole at the insistence of resort owner and developer Duane Hagadone. Golfers reach it by a mahogany boat shuttle across Lake Coeur d'Alene, and Golf Digest named the course America's Most Beautiful Resort Golf Course the year after it opened. As a downtown resort course tied to the Hagadone-owned Coeur d'Alene Resort hotel, it is primarily a public/resort-guest destination rather than a private residential club, and most golfers here -- hotel guests, CDA Club social members, and the general public -- pay green fees rather than holding any form of residential membership.
What distinguishes it from a pure prestige-venue exclusion case, however, is a genuine on-course residential product: The Terraces, a 30-residence waterfront condominium community built directly on the golf course property on Lake Coeur d'Alene's shoreline. Real-estate marketing for The Terraces describes two lifetime golf memberships to the Coeur d'Alene Resort Golf Course included with each unit, alongside a private boat slip and concierge service; HOA dues are reported around $4,500/quarter ($18,000/year) and units have traded in the roughly $2-3 million range. This bundling claim comes from real-estate marketing sources rather than an official HOA declaration or the resort's own membership pages, so buyers should independently confirm current terms before purchasing, but it is a real, documented and repeatedly-described bundled-membership product distinct from the resort's general public/resort-guest access model.
Golf & Course
Opened in 1991 to a Scott Miller design -- his first independent effort -- the course is best known for its 14th-hole floating green, a 2,300-ton platform installed in 1990 at the direct instigation of resort owner Duane Hagadone, reachable by a mahogany boat shuttle across Lake Coeur d'Alene. Golf Digest named it America's Most Beautiful Resort Golf Course the year after it opened, and it remains one of the most recognizable single holes in American golf.
Membership & Access
Does buying a home here include club membership?
Most access to this course is public/resort-guest: hotel guests, the general public paying green fees, and CDA Club social members (a dining/social membership dating to 1986 that includes discounted green-fee access) all play here without owning property. The Terraces is the one confirmed exception, where real-estate marketing describes two lifetime golf memberships as included with each of the 30 units -- buyers should independently verify this before assuming it applies to any other condo or home near the course.

The Terraces is a 30-residence waterfront condominium community built directly on the golf course property on Lake Coeur d'Alene's shoreline, with units in the roughly 6,300-8,300 sq ft range and reported HOA dues near $18,000/year.
Lifestyle & Amenities
As part of the broader Coeur d'Alene Resort, golfers and Terraces residents have access to the resort's restaurants, spa, indoor/outdoor pools, fitness facility, and boat-ferry/airport transportation services.
Location & Surrounding Area
The course sits on the north shore of Lake Coeur d'Alene, integrated into the downtown Coeur d'Alene resort core -- unlike this market's other qualifying anchors, which sit in more suburban/rural lakefront settings.
