Taping into what GolfWorld Magazine calls "their most valuable resource - our readers", surveys were tallied with one primary goal in mind... answering the question "What makes for a great place to golf?". When the results came in, The Coeur d'Alene received a #1 ranking in course conditioning and #3 in service which vaulted The Coeur d'Alene Resort to the top of all resort courses in the Western United States overall.

"We are extremely proud of receiving such a high ranking in the GolfWorld's 2009 Readers' Choice Awards. It is the first time the magazine has ranked the best facilities in the country. The fact that the GolfWorld's readership distinguished our resort with high marks is tremendous.

"Our golf course Superintendent, Kevin Hicks, and the entire golf course team should take great honor in being ranked 'the finest conditioned resort course in America'".

The World's Most Romantic Spa

Couples Enjoy Combination of Service and Privacy at Lakeside Retreat
COEUR D'ALENE, IDAHO, July 2008—Occasionally, romance benefits from a little nudge. Couples visiting The Coeur d'Alene Golf & Spa Resort have discovered a cozy approach to enjoying some privacy while sparking the passion in their relationship.

Although the Spa Coeur d'Alene did not start out to be a romantic getaway, it has nonetheless become one, having been named "The World's Most Romantic Spa " in a special report for the Sherman's Travel newsletter and featured on MSNBC.com.

"Being named "The World's Most Romantic Spa" is quite an honor," said Bill Reagan, general manager of The Coeur d'Alene Golf & Spa Resort, a member of the Preferred Hotels family of destinations. "While we purposely set out to design the most amazing, luxurious and innovative spa in the world, the romantic element is something that just magically happens when a couple enters our world."

Conde Nast Traveler has also recently named The Spa Coeur d'Alene as one of the Top 54 Resort Spas in America. The rating was based on 4,000 readers voting on location/setting, treatments, staff/service, rooms, diet/cuisine and staff/services. The Spa Coeur d'Alene ranked at #21 overall with particularly high marks on signature treatments.

An ideal way to enter the romance of The Spa Coeur d'Alene is through the "Just for Two" Couples Massage Suite at the Spa Coeur d'Alene. The Couples Massage Suite features a tranquil setting, complete with a fireplace and side-by-side waterbed massage tables that provide a wide, gorgeous view of Lake Coeur d'Alene. Secluded behind closed doors, the Couples Massage Suite is a superb setting to share the relaxation and rejuvenation of a world-class spa. The romance is on the house.

The spectacular 30,000-square-foot Spa Coeur d'Alene was recognized specifically for the calm setting of waterfalls, fountains and lake views from every window. Recommended dining included the caramel-braised muscovy duck and hot huckleberry soufflé at a lake-view table for two at Beverly's, the resort's showcase restaurant.

The choice for discerning travelers worldwide, The Coeur d'Alene Golf & Spa Resort combines luxury with endless recreational opportunities and serves as an ideal locale for conventions and wedding celebrations alike.
