  • FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Golf Digest Rates Circling Raven No. 1
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Golf Digest Rates Circling Raven No. 1 Public Course in Idaho Coeur d’Alene Casino Resort Amenity Stands Alone in National Magazine’s Biennial Best-of List (Worley, Idaho; May 12, 2021) – The votes are in and panelists for Golf Digest and its “America’s Greatest Courses” rank Circling Raven as Idaho’s top public course. The best-in-kind accolade comes via the just-released “America’s Greatest Courses by State, 2021-22” compilation. Of the eight Idaho courses cited for this distinction, Circling Raven and Coeur d’Alene Resort Course were the only two public venues included, with Circling Raven listed as the No. 1 public course. To arrive at its ranking of America's Greatest Golf Courses, Golf Digest panelists play and score courses on these eight criteria: shot options, challenge, layout variety, distinctiveness, aesthetics, conditioning, character, and fun. “We work tirelessly to ensure that Circling Raven is an exceptional amenity of Coeur d’Alene Casino Resort Hotel, and we are constantly enhancing the course and golf club,” said resort CEO Laura Penney, MBA. “This honor from Golf Digest reinforces that our best practices are well designed and executed.” Like the casino resort, the Gene Bates-designed championship golf course is owned by the Coeur d’Alene Tribe. Located in the lush, scenic Idaho panhandle, Circling Raven is ingeniously routed across 620 stunning acres of Palouse Region terrain. Named for a seminal tribal chief, the course sits amid woodlands, wetlands, and wildlife, including eagles and moose. Nature and reverence for the land are essential to the course and Tribal custom.
