    COEUR D'ALENE, Idaho - For 20 years, the golf course at the Coeur d'Alene Resort has set the standard for golf settings with its pine trees, geraniums, not to mention its world famous floating green.

The new course lies high in the hills above Kellogg where, historically, the headlines have been more about mining the terrain.
