Award-Winning Amenity of the Coeur d’Alene Casino Resort & Hotel Continues to Offer Stay-and-Play Rates of Exceptional Quality
(WORLEY, Idaho) – Having won more than 37 “best-of” awards since opening five years ago, Circling Raven Golf Club and the Coeur d’Alene Casino Resort Hotel could easily justify charging substantially higher rates. However, the casino resort and golf club – located an easy, scenic drive from Spokane Airport (GEG) – have always prioritized customer service and satisfaction, course conditions and an exceptional experience on equal footing with the bottom line.
Instead of charging players in the $200 range for a round – like many courses of its highly rated status routinely do (you can stay and play for less than that at Circling Raven) – the golf club has steadfastly maintained rates at less than $100. (And substantially less than that depending on the time of day, week or year a round is played.)
Why?
It’s part of the club’s mission to exceed expectations.
“Circling Raven and Coeur d’Alene Casino Resort Hotel are committed to ensuring that our guests enjoy an unforgettable experience,” said Circling Raven Director of Golf Tom Davidson, the reigning PGA of America Pacific Northwest Section Merchandiser of the Year. “Everything we do – from our staff greeting you as you arrive until you finish enjoying the 19th hole in our Twisted Earth Grill – is designed to ensure a memorable, positive visit.”
Combine that philosophy with customer friendly priced hotel accommodations adjacent to the course in a stay-and-play package and the value is exceptional.

About Circling Raven Golf Club and Coeur d’Alene Casino Resort & Hotel
Owned and operated by the Coeur d’Alene Tribe and convenient to Spokane (WA) airport, the casino resort and golf club are nestled on a reservation covering 345,000 acres of mountains, lakes, old-growth forest and farmland. The resort spans the western edge of the northernRocky Mountains. Tribal history also tells us that Circling Raven was a spiritually powerful leader, his name coming from his close relationship to the raven, who helped guide him on his journeys, warn him of danger and show him where to find fish and game.
Circling Raven was created amid a unique blend of wetlands, grasslands and woodlands. At 7,189 yards, the par 72 championship layout meanders through 620 acres, only 100 representing cultivated ground. Wildlife is abundant, including elk, deer, moose and an occasional black bear. In fact, the opening was delayed due to damage on two greens by migrating elk.
