Circling Raven Golf Club is an 18-hole championship golf course in the northwest United States, located in northern Idaho near Worley. It was rated the third best public course in Idaho by Golf Digest in August 2015.
Owned and operated by the Coeur d'Alene Tribe, Circling Raven opened for play fourteen years ago in the summer of 2003. It was preceded on the site by a casino (1993) and hotel (2001). The course is named after a visionary chief of the tribe in the 18th century.
Designed by Florida-based architect Gene Bates, the back tees at Circling Raven are at 7,189 yards (6,574 m); the course rating is 74.0 with a slope rating of 144. The terrain varies between rolling prairie, woodlands, and wetlands at an average elevation of approximately 2,600 feet (790 m) above sea level. The course is spread out over more than 600 acres (2.4 km2) and the practice facility covers 25 acres (10 ha).
