History




Welcome to The Coeur d'Alene Resort - Welcome to your North Idaho paradise! The Coeur d'Alene Resort is your base for adventure in this gem in the Pacific Northwest. Idyllic landscape provides year-round activities on local lakes,...

The North Shore Resort opened 53 years ago in 1965 and completed its seven-story tower in 1973; it was acquired by Hagadone Hospitality in June 1983 in a takeover of Western Frontiers, Inc. Duane Hagadone soon announced plans for resort expansion, and the North Shore closed on New Year's Day in 1986 for several months; it reopened in the spring with a new name: "The Coeur d'Alene: A Resort on the Lake." The new 18-story addition, known as the Lake Tower, was built by Hagadone and Jerry Jaeger and opened 32 years ago in May 1986. Designed by architect R.G. Nelson, the hotel features a 0.75-mile (1.2 km) floating boardwalk.

The golf course is about a mile east of the resort and was originally the site of the Rutledge sawmill, which operated from 1916 until October 31, 1987. The Hagadone Corporation bought the property from Potlatch Corporation in March 1988 via a three-way land swap, and its buildings were allowed to be burned in June; local fire departments used it as a training exercise.

The golf course and the floating green were developed, and the course opened for play 27 years ago in 1991. The construction of the golf course required environmental clean-up of the debris left from the lumber industry, and had stalled in August 1988. With environmental concerns allayed, the project was well received in January and course construction began in 1989.

The original portion of the resort, the seven-story Park Tower, completed a renovation in 2000, as did the signature Lake Tower in 2006.

The Coeur d'Alene Resort Golf Course is best known for its floating green on the 14th hole, and location on the north shore of Lake Coeur d'Alene. The 2,300-ton floating green was installed in September 1990 and unveiled by Hagadone and Governor Cecil Andrus shortly after; the course opened the following spring.

Phoenix-based designer Scott Miller planned the course to feel like a park, and it has since been ranked among the best resort golf courses in the United States by Golf Digest, Golf Magazine and others. The course was featured in the video game Tiger Woods PGA Tour 2005; its average elevation is approximately 2,200 feet (670 m) above sea level.
