Played here this morning. Being a great fan of Jim Engh courses, I had to call in a lot of favors to play here. They were all worth it. Located 20 miles S of Coeur d'Alene in a private development, this course will not disappoint. The par 3's were the most unique, I have ever played. Engh used solid granite walls, water falls, water ponds and elevation in their design. And at all of his courses, you will find 3 par 3's and 3 par 5's on either the front or back 9. Great enjoyment and great for scoring. The course from the Black Tees is 7130 with a 73.9/145 rating. All of the par 4's and par 5's are outstanding (with great elevation changes and views of the lake) and designed to be below the cart paths and have mounding along the sides, to route shots back into the fairways. He also has used his traditional bowl shaped greens, which are part of his signature design. If you ever come across a member, tell them to invite you. Or, try one of Engh's many public courses in the Western US. I hope to one day, say I have played them all.
