DrumDog thanks for the pics! I'm am just absolutley blown away by the engineering it took to build something like that. Sounds like a road trip indeed.

What about the fact they market this as the only floating green in the world when it's not? Seems wrong to me.

Can you post up links to the others that you are referencing? Would enjoy looking at them.

It's the course Tiger, Paul Casey and some others played a skins game at earlier this year.

I'll meet you, Drumdog and anyone else who wants to play there!

A weekend up here would be great!
We could play the Coeur d'Alene Resort course and Circling Raven(another great track) and if possible toss in Palouse Ridge.
I haven't played Palouse Ridge yet, but I hear it's getting high marks.

Yea that is so awesome. I do wonder how they get the mowers on the green to mow it.. I skimmed the video because I watched it a while ago.

The course looks absolutely beautiful... and that green is a marvel for sure.

Would love to play there, i don't think Idaho is too far from Colorado?!?!?!

**Misiotoagodia** · 04-20-2011, 08:43 PM

That is a great looking course. Lots to do in Idaho! I was only through once, but I do remember camping at Craters of the Moon Nat'l Monument...got a pass to go "back country" there and slept in a volcano.

Wow, that is awesome. This course is going on the list to play in the future. This would make for a great THP weekend somewhere down the road.

Agreed it would be a great trip and the other pics of holes from the course make it look like it is truly an enjoyable track and not a 1 trick pony (floating green hole). Also that driving range would mess me up potentially. I have spent my entire golfing life trying to keep the ball from going in the water and now the driving range is telling me to hit at targets in the water. That goes against everything golf has ever taught us. Where I like for good driving range sessions to carry over to the round, I would hopefully leave the water balls at the range and keep my real balls in play during the round.
