A New Frontier of Luxury: Inside CDA National Reserve, Idaho’s Private Lakeside Golf Retreat

If you’ve been waiting to witness Idaho’s next big thing, feast your eyes on Coeur d’Alene’s private club renaissance.

Idaho’s population grew by 1.5% in 2024, while a record-breaking 27% surge in summer tourism suggests everyone’s angling to experience the rugged grandeur of the Gem State—and nowhere embodies that better than CDA National Reserve, Coeur d’Alene’s private club that’s redefining what it means to play in an outdoor sportsman’s paradise.

For those seeking a year-round escape in the Idaho Panhandle or a new place to put down roots, this sprawling 5,000-acre haven of rushing rivers, lakes, granite cliffs, and unspoiled forests has you covered.

Club members can fly in via the club’s private jet hangar and, once on the ground, tee off on the exclusive Tom Weiskopf golf course, cruise across a floating waterpark, head out for hunting or clay shooting, or take to the water aboard a custom StanCraft boat.

Overview

Just 50 minutes from Spokane, CDA National Reserve blends upscale mountain living with an all-access pass to some of the region’s most exciting outdoor pursuits.
