The Coeur d’Alene Casino Resort Hotel is preparing to open the Circling Raven Golf Club for its 22nd season on April 3rd. Recognized as Idaho’s top-ranked public golf course, Circling Raven is ready to welcome guests with enhanced services and new features, maintaining its commitment to a first-class experience.
A spokesperson, Rasmussen, highlighted the club’s philosophy: “While receiving accolades from objective experts is a humbling distinction, the true foundation of Circling Raven lies in our exceptional customer service, impeccable course conditions, memorable holes, and the breathtaking natural environment players come to expect.”
The championship course, masterfully designed by Gene Bates, introduces a variety of new and improved offerings for the upcoming season:
- The vast 25-acre practice facility now features wildlife silhouettes with precisely lasered yardages.
- New “Boot Camps” tailored for women, combining expert instruction and training with a 9-hole playing experience.
- The acclaimed pro shop has refreshed its merchandise selection and display arrangements.
- An enhanced menu is available at the clubhouse’s Twisted Earth bar and grill.
- A new cart path has been installed across a section of the course.
- Wooden bridges throughout the course have been revitalized through an engineer-supervised maintenance project.
- The popular Raven Cards, offering significant value and frequent player perks, are once again available.
Circling Raven offers two distinct seasonal rate structures: the “Shoulder Season” (from Opening Day until May 17) and the “Peak Season” (May 18 until October 4). Shoulder Season rates provide savings of approximately $30-$40 compared to Peak rates, with variations depending on whether guests play 9 or 18 holes, specific stay-and-play packages, and the day of the week.
