Overview

CDA National sits on bluffs overlooking Lake Coeur d’Alene in northwestern Idaho. There are some tremendous elevation changes, which not only present captivating shot options but offer golfers stunning vistas of the lake below. The front nine is relatively open, while the back nine is a far more secluded, forested layout. Given the sloped terrain, the course can be a strenuous walk—but if you get the chance, don't turn down an opportunity to play this stunning Tom Weiskopf design.

“Very cool golf course in an even cooler area of the Country. What is now CDA National Reserve has seen some owners over the years, but this Weiskopf is a championship track. Rumor has it that the celebs and general traffic at Gozzer has caused a lot of folks to drive their boats across the lake to this spot. New clubhouse coming soon."

“Rock Creek Idaho is a Weiskopf design across the street from Black Rock. The setting is beautiful and the experience fantastic. The golf is good too!"

“Great practice facility. Very good course, with options for high handicappers and a really good test for low handicappers. Enjoyable views the entire round. From #9 on you feel like you are the only group on the course and playing the only hole to be seen. Take advantage of the opportunity."

“Great Weiskopf design with very good design variety and some interesting elevation changes.. Lots of acreage allows holes to meander through the trees and fields with no parallel fairways. There are several great views of Lake Coeur d'Alene and lots of scenic vistas. It is challenging but fair. Don't pass up a chance to play here."
