History

The "North Shore Resort" opened Template:Time ago in 1965 and completed its seven-story tower in 1973;[3] it was acquired by Hagadone Hospitality in June 1983 in a takeover of Western Frontiers, Inc.[4][5][6] Duane Hagadone soon announced plans for resort expansion,[7] and the North Shore closed on New Year's Day in 1986 for several months; it reopened in the spring with a new name: "The Coeur d'Alene: A Resort on the Lake."[8][9] The new 18-story addition, known as the Lake Tower, was built by Hagadone and Jerry Jaeger and opened Template:Time ago in May 1986.[10][11] Designed by architect R.G. Nelson, the hotel features a Template:Convert floating boardwalk around the marina.

The golf course is about a mile east (1.6 km) of the resort and was originally the site of the Rutledge sawmill,[12][13] which operated from 1916 to 1987, closing on October 31.[14][15][16][17] The Hagadone Corporation bought the property from Potlatch Corporation in March 1988 via a three-way land swap,[18][19] and its buildings were allowed to be burned in June; local fire departments used it as a training exercise.[20][21]

The golf course and the floating green were developed, and the course opened for play Template:Time ago in 1991.[22][23][24] Its construction required environmental clean-up of the debris left from the lumber industry,[12] and had stalled in August 1988.[25][26] With environmental concerns allayed, the project was well received in January and course construction began in 1989.[27]

The seven-story Park Tower (1973), completed a renovation in 2000,[6] as did the signature Lake Tower (1986) in 2006.[28]

The Floating Green – (14th Hole)

The resort's golf course is best known for its floating green on the 14th hole,[22][23][24][29] and location on the north shore of the lake.[30][31] The 2,300-ton floating green was installed in September 1990 and unveiled by Hagadone and Governor Cecil Andrus shortly after;[32] the course opened the following spring.[22][23][24] "Putter" is the vessel that shuttles players to and from the green.

Phoenix-based designer Scott Miller planned the course to feel like a park, and it has since been ranked among the best resort golf courses in the United States by Golf Digest, Golf Magazine and others.[31][33] The course was featured in the video game Tiger Woods PGA Tour 2005; its average elevation is approximately Template:Convert above sea level.
