The Coeur d’Alene Casino Resort Hotel is set to open Circling Raven Golf Club for its 22nd season on April 3, 2026, welcoming golfers with a range of new enhancements and additions. Renowned as Idaho’s top-ranked public course, Circling Raven consistently delivers a first-class experience for its guests.
The club prides itself on exceptional customer service, pristine course conditions, memorable holes, and a breathtaking natural setting, which are fundamental factors contributing to its popularity among players.
This season, the Gene Bates-designed championship course introduces several improvements:
- Enhanced Practice Facility: The expansive 25-acre practice area now features wildlife silhouettes with integrated laser yardages.
- Women’s Boot Camps: A new program combining golf instruction and training with a 9-hole playing experience.
- Revamped Pro Shop: The award-winning pro shop offers refreshed merchandise and displays.
- Upgraded Dining: The Twisted Earth bar and grill in the clubhouse boasts an enhanced menu.
- Course Infrastructure: A new cart path has been installed on a section of the course, and wooden bridges have been revitalized through an engineer-supervised maintenance project.
- Raven Cards: Value-packed frequent player cards that offer significant perks and savings.
Circling Raven operates with two distinct seasonal rate segments: Shoulder Season (Opening Day – May 17) and Peak Season (May 18 – October 4). Shoulder Season rates are approximately $30-$40 less than Peak rates, depending on whether it’s 9 or 18 holes, stay-and-play packages, and the day of the week.
The popular Raven Card, priced at $599, provides an impressive array of benefits for the 2026 season, including:
- One complimentary round (Monday–Thursday, 2026 Season)
- $40 off 18-hole and 9-hole green fees
- “Raven Hour”: Unlimited play for 3 hours before sunset for $75
- Free entry to the Raven Card Tournament

Owned and operated by the Coeur d’Alene Tribe, Circling Raven is named in honor of a pivotal tribal leader. Since its inception, the club has received numerous accolades, including recognition as a “Top Casino Course in America,” “Best in State,” “Top 100 Resort Course,” and “Pro Shop Merchandiser of the Year.”
