"Experience a golf hole like no other and test your skills on a world-famous challenge. The Coeur D’Alene Resort Golf Course’s famous 14th Hole, The Floating Green, is recognized around the globe as an iconic feat of engineering and design, and a formidable test for players of all skill levels," the official website says.

"The first and only floating, movable island golf green is a 2,200-ton marvel that changes position via an intricate, underwater cable system. Each day, this par 3 hole plays anywhere from 90 yards from the ladies’ tee, up to 220 yards from the championship tee. The standard mens tee typically plays from 140–170 yards.

"Talk about risk and reward! Land on the island and you’re a hero. Miss and your ball will join the thousands fished out of the water by divers each season. Either way, you’ll never forget this one-of-a-kind, bucket list golf experience."

"The 6,497-yard, par 71 golf course boasts views from nearly every hole. Designed around four distinct geographical features: an expansive lakeshore, forested ridge, gently rolling woodlands and Fernan creek, meandering through the early holes of the back nine," the golfcda.com says.

"Take a live peek at our high-definition video feed overlooking the famous 14th hole, Floating Green, off the shores of Lake Coeur d’Alene. Watch as players finish one of the more challenging par 3’s in golf. Envision yourself here with us, playing one of the most iconic golf holes in the world on every golfer’s bucket list.

"Experience a golf hole like no other. The movable Floating Green island hole at The Coeur d’Alene Resort is recognized throughout the world for its unique design and engineering. It’s a true test of overcoming every golfer’s worst fears of a lost ball in the lake or conquering the challenge with bragging rights. With either outcome, it’s an experience not soon forgotten."

"The target is a floating green that weighs 2,100 tons – that’s 4.2 million pounds – and is connected to underwater cables that allow the green to be moved. It typically plays anywhere from about 100 yards off the forward tees all the way to 220 off the tips. The green is moved farther offshore each fall as the lake’s water level drops," the Golfweek says.

The base of the green is made of concrete cells and Styrofoam. The height of the island from bottom to top is 16 feet – about 11 feet in the water and five feet above the lake. The green is 55 yards wide and 35 yards front to back, and the island features brilliant flower beds, three trees and two bunkers. The water is about 25 feet deep.

"With all that water, water everywhere, players dump plenty of tee shots into the drink. But environmentalists need not worry, because each year a diver fishes out all the balls, anywhere from 30,000 to 40,000 of them. Players travel to the green on a little boat named Putter that also is attached to a cable. A captain runs the boat, and the trip takes just several minutes."

"The Coeur d’Alene Resort Course in northern Idaho is known for its floating island green par-3, but the resort and the golf course are so much more than that," the Golf Stays and Plays says.

Anyone who plays the Scott Miller-designed layout, which opened in 1986, will never forget the experience of playing the 14th hole. In fact, if you hit the green on this 15,000-square-foot floating island, you will score a certificate suitable for framing, which will help you remember.

"But as anyone who has played here can tell you, it’s just one of many highlights of not only the golf course but the resort experience as a whole. A trip to The Coeur d’Alene Resort means you’ve arrived at one of the prettiest lakes in the region. You can rent a boat and fish or simply do a little bar and restaurant hopping at the town of Coeur d’Alene, which is right next to the resort on the north shore of Coeur d’Alene Lake."

"In Northern Idaho, the Coeur d’Alene Resort Golf Course’s 14th hole floats on the lake. According to the resort, it’s the first and only floating, movable island golf green in the world," the BoiseDev says.

"“The Coeur D’Alene Resort Golf Course’s famous 14th Hole, The Floating Green, is recognized around the globe as an iconic feat of engineering and design, and a formidable test for players of all skill levels,” the Coeur D’Alene Resort’s website notes.

"Weighing more than 2,2000 tons, it can be moved into different positions through an underwater cable system. It can be moved to play anywhere from 90 yards up to 220 yards. The standard tee though is anywhere from 140-170 yards."

"Golf lovers rejoice! The spectacular Coeur d´Alene Resort Golf Course (described by Golf Digest as "America’s Most Beautiful Resort Golf Course") provides an unmatched waterfront golf experience, a floating green!, the Bless This Stuff says.

"Secluded in a valley of tall pines and sloping hills of Northern Idaho´s Lake Coeur d´Alene, the beautiful golf course is reached in a sleek mahogany boat, and besides plenty of incredible views and meticulously manicured fairways, the one-of-a-kind round includes the finest challenge – the famous floating 14th, a man-made island that changes location!"

"But tucked away in a beautiful little corner of the Pacific Northwest resides a course not known for its PGA Tour pedigree, or for its impenetrability to the average golfer, but rather for one unique trait: the floating green," the Breaking Eighty says.

"It’s the world’s first and only movable island green (not to be confused with the natural island green at Punta Mita). Its distance can be adjusted to anywhere from a short wedge, to a brutal long iron. To get there, you take a short cruise on a boat known as the “Putter”.

"And while it might be the admittedly-gimmicky 14th hole that draws you out to Idaho to play it, once you’re there, you’ll be pleasantly surprised to find that the Coeur d’Alene has a lot more to offer in terms of memorability than a single par 3."

"The Coeur d’Alene Golf & Spa Resort has spared nothing to deliver the ultimate golf experience, once described as “America’s Most Beautiful Resort Golf Course” by Golf Digest," the Visit Idaho says.

"It’s one of the best-known icons in golf: the famous 14th Hole at The Coeur d’Alene Resort Golf Course—The Floating Green.

"Located on the shores of beautiful Lake Coeur d’Alene, this award-winning resort course is an experience not to be missed. Golf fashions & equipment. Restaurant overlooking the world-famous Floating Green," the Visit Coeur d'Alene says.

"It began with a sudden flash of inspiration – a man walking his dog, gazing out at a tugboat towing a raft of logs on Lake Coeur d’Alene. In 1991, the first ball was struck onto the floating green on the 14th, and Duane Hagadone’s vision was on its way to becoming one of the best-loved icons in golf.

"The Coeur d’Alene Resort golf course is simply sublime. Nothing is spared to deliver the ultimate golfing experience, once described as America’s Most Beautiful Resort Golf Course by Golf Digest. As a golfer, you reach its meticulously manicured fairways with a ride in a sleek mahogany boat, and that’s just for starters.

"With the attention of your personal forecaddie, the comfort of your luxury custom cart, gorgeous Lake Coeur d’Alene views on every hole, and every item expertly attended to, you’re in for the golf game of your life. It’s quite simply, golf at its finest…"

"Located at the Coeur d'Alene Resort is a golf enthusiast's dream come true—the world's only floating green. It's no wonder this golf course has consistently been ranked as one of the best in the world by magazines like Golf Digest and Golf Magazine," the Only In Your State says.

"They say that the golf course at Coeur d'Alene isn't just an escape, but an all-inclusive experience. Not only is the course home to a floating green but it's totally surrounded by stunning beauty. The 18-hole course is comprised of finely manicured greens that will totally floor you with their beauty.

"However, the main highlight of the golf course is the floating green at the 14th hole. This hole is by far the most anticipated. Here golfers take their shots and hope that their ball lands on the island. If they miss, the ball sinks to the bottom of the lake to be collected at the end of the season. However, if by a stroke of luck your ball lands on the island then you'll get to take the boat over to the famous floating green."

"The Coeur d'Alene Resort is a resort hotel in the northwest United States, located in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho. Seated on the north shore of Lake Coeur d'Alene by Tubbs Hill, the resort features a marina, convention facilities, spa, as well as a notable 18-hole golf course.

"The resort's golf course is best known for its floating green on the 14th hole, and location on the north shore of the lake. The 2,300-ton floating green was installed in September 1990 and unveiled by Hagadone and Governor Cecil Andrus shortly after; the course opened the following spring."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. The course was featured in the video game Tiger Woods PGA Tour 2005; its average elevation is approximately 2,200 feet (670 m) above sea level." (Wikipedia)
