The Coeur d'Alene Resort Golf Course is an 18-hole resort layout in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, designed by Scott Miller and opened in 1991. Its defining feature is the movable floating green on the 14th hole, positioned in Lake Coeur d'Alene. The official course history credits the concept to resort co-founders Duane Hagadone and Jerry Jaeger and records the first shot to the floating island green in 1991.
The course is generally listed as a par-71 layout of about 6,497 yards from its longest conventional setup. Lake views are integrated throughout the routing, while the facility operates as part of The Coeur d'Alene Resort and includes forecaddie service, GPS-equipped golf cars and practice amenities. The floating green is not merely an island-style green built into the shoreline: it is a movable structure in the lake, which is the feature that distinguishes the course from similarly marketed island-green designs elsewhere.
The course is an 18-hole resort golf course. It plays to par 71, 5,941m (6,497 yards). Designed by Scott Miller, the course originally opened in 1991. It is open to the public.

The resort course was developed around a lakefront concept that culminated in its floating green. The official account traces the idea to a moment when a raft of logs being towed across Lake Coeur d'Alene inspired the concept for a movable island golf green.
Scott Miller routed the course to maintain lake views while incorporating Lake Coeur d'Alene and Fernan Creek into the playing environment. The 14th was conceived as a genuine floating target rather than a conventional peninsula or fixed island green.
The course was completed and opened in 1991. The floating green became the defining identity of the facility from its first season.
The floating green has become one of the most widely recognised individual golf holes in the United States and is central to the resort course's national profile.
The course remains part of The Coeur d'Alene Resort and operates with resort-oriented services including forecaddies and GPS-equipped golf cars.
