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.

“Such a great design course. Really feels like the first 11 holes flow really well and give some good winding natural landscape and the remaining 7 are ever changing lake views cutting through some trees. This course offers score ability for high handicappers, but also a significant challenge for low handicappers. Greens are world class and very deceptive. Gives a couple good shot option holes with different landing areas to play. A couple short par fours to allow hero shots. Three of the four par fives are really unreachable in two and gives great strategy on where you would like to play your third shot into the green from."

“A great mix of easy-medium-hard holes. Super and consistent turf conditions on every hole. Many elevation changes. Great views of the mountains throughout the entire 18. A very high fun factor. Go out of your way to play this one."

“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."

“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."
