Owned and operated by the Coeur d'Alene Tribe, Circling Raven opened for play seventeen years ago in the summer of 2003.[4][5][6][7] It was preceded on the site by a casino (1993) and hotel (2001).[8] The course is named after a visionary chief of the tribe in the 18th century.[9][10][11]

Designed by Florida-based architect Gene Bates,[5] the back tees at Circling Raven are at 7,189 yards (6,574 m);[1] the course rating is 74.0 with a slope rating of 144.[2] The terrain varies between rolling prairie, woodlands, and wetlands at an average elevation of approximately 2,600 feet (790 m) above sea level. The course is spread out over more than 600 acres (2.4 km2) and the practice facility covers 25 acres (10 ha).[11]

Events

In September 2005, Circling Raven hosted a team from Royal Dornoch Golf Club in Scotland for a friendly international competition and cultural exchange.[12][13] The following August, the course was the site of the Pacific Northwest PGA Professional Championship, won by Ryan Malby.[14] The event returned six years later in 2012, and was won by Ryan Benzel, a former Idaho Vandal.[15]

Location

The resort complex is just east of the intersection of U.S. Route 95 and State Highway 58 in southwestern Kootenai County, about three miles (5 km) northwest of Worley and thirty miles (50 km) south of the city of Coeur d'Alene. The southern end of Lake Coeur d'Alene and Heyburn State Park are approximately ten miles (16 km) southeast, as the raven flies. The nearest major airport is Spokane International, about 45 miles (70 km) northwest by vehicle.
