The Idaho Club in Sandpoint, Idaho, is a private Jack Nicklaus Signature course, opened in 2008 and ranked seventh in Idaho by Golf Digest (2025-2026). This 18-hole, par-72 course spans 7,100 yards with a course rating of 72.9 and a slope of 138, set along the Pack River with Pend Oreille Lake and mountain views. Featuring a luxurious clubhouse, practice facilities, and a scenic forested layout, it’s a high-end retreat. Its Nicklaus design blends challenge with natural beauty, making it a standout for members.

**How It Plays**: The Idaho Club’s tight, tree-lined fairways demand accurate drives, with water and bunkers punishing wayward shots. The par-4 8th, with its river hazard, tests precision, while the par-5s offer birdie chances for strategic players. Greens are fast and contoured, requiring well-judged approach shots to avoid tricky slopes. Elevation changes and occasional wind off the lake add challenge, making course management key. The course’s length and scenic distractions make it a tough but rewarding test for skilled golfers.
