Resort Course Offers a Free Sleeve of Titleist Pro V1 Golf Balls for Dad with Each Paid Round on June 21; However, Season-Long Stay-and-Play Package Makes Every Day Dad’s Day
(Worley, IDAHO) – Circling Raven Golf Club – the acclaimed amenity of the Coeur d’Alene Casino Resort Hotel, which is an easy, scenic drive from Spokane (GEG) Airport – is offering a free sleeve of Titleist Pro V1 golf balls with the course logo on them for Dad with each regular-rate paid round on Father’s Day (June 21).
Most golf clubs would consider offering a free sleeve of expensive golf balls as ample incentive and show of appreciation to fathers. Particularly when this is in addition to the golf club’s regular, value-laden playing rates ($95 Friday – Sunday – Holidays before 2 pm; $75 Friday – Sunday – Holidays after 2 pm).
However, Circling Raven (www.circlingraven.com) is not most golf clubs.
Through September 30, the stay-and-play package rates are Monday-Thursday $199, Friday-Sunday $249. These include golf rounds for two people and double occupancy/shared room (tax not included).
To clarify, this is two rounds of golf (one per person) and one shared room for two people for one night. If broken out by units – that is, purchasing each item individually – the price would be roughly $300 per person. However, with Circling Raven’s package, the cost per person is effectively $100 to $150 depending on time of week. Many Top 100 golf courses charge in excess of $200 for just an individual golf round. (Add-on rounds to the stay-and-play package are also available at a bargain price, which further enhance the available value.)
“We work hard to ensure our guests feel wowed by their experience at Circling Raven and Coeur d’Alene Casino Resort Hotel,” said CDA Casino Resort Hotel CEO David Lasarte-Meeks. “This is our ongoing priority, and the stay-and-play rates exemplify this mandate in action.”
Since its first full season (2004), the Coeur d’Alene tribally owned and operated course has exceeded industry norms, including racking up more than 40 best-in-kind awards. These include garnering awards for customer service, “Merchandiser of the Year” acclaim on multiple occasions, and Top 100 U.S. public course distinction from GOLF, Golfweek and Golf Digest magazines (out of more than 13,500 such courses nationally).

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 northern Rocky 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.
