The Coeur d’Alene Resort Golf Course in Idaho Features a Putting Green on a Floating Man-Made Island

Floating Green at Coeur d'Alene Resort Golf Course

At the Coeur d’Alene Resort golf course in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho, the 14th hole is located in a most unusual spot–it resides on a putting green built atop a floating platform in the nearby lake (Lake Coeur d’Alene, naturally). Golfers are ferried to the man-made island aboard a wooden motorboat. And because the platform floats, it can be moved around the lake to alter the layout of the course. According to the resort, thousands of golf balls that fail to make the 14th green are fished out of the lake each year.
