Nestled in the scenic mountains of northern Idaho, Coeur d’Alene Casino Resort Hotel has long been celebrated for its cultural authenticity, welcoming spirit, and immersive leisure offerings. Now, its commitment to excellence has been formally recognized: the property was named “Tribal Gaming Operator of the Year” at the prestigious SBC Americas Awards held in May at Hard Rock Hotel in Fort Lauderdale,
Florida.
What makes Coeur d’Alene Casino truly exceptional is its ability to blend tradition with forward thinking hospitality. A prime example is the resort’s Aescape massage amenity, an AI-powered innovation offered at Spa Ssakwa’q’n (pronounced SOCK-wah-kin) that customizes massage therapy in a way never before available in the U.S. Northwest (the next closest property with Aescape is in Santa Barbara, CA).
This cutting-edge benefit complements the spa’s menu of traditional services (including human-touch massages), giving guests new ways to unwind in comfort and privacy.
Another standout is Circling Raven Golf Suites, an indoor sports bar-style venue featuring virtual golf and sports games alongside food, drinks, and gaming machines. These suites are an extension of the award-winning Circling Raven Golf Club—consistently ranked among the best public and casino courses in the U.S.—and cater to the fast-growing audience engaging with off-course experiences in the game.
The innovation doesn’t stop there. Coeur d’Alene Casino is also home to Discovery Den, the only venue in the Northwest where guests can test new video gaming machines before they’re available anywhere else. Updated quarterly with the latest game prototypes from leading
manufacturers, it puts players at the forefront of casino entertainment.
Beyond amenities, Coeur d’Alene Casino is deeply rooted in a philosophy of care and community. Operated by the Coeur d’Alene Tribe, the resort has donated more than $36.5 million to local causes and education, all while delivering warm, authentic service under the welcoming
motto: “Welcome Home.”
With 300 guest rooms, 14 suites, live entertainment in the casino showroom (music, comedy, boxing/MMA), 1,200 video gaming machines, high-stakes bingo, a 15,000 sq. ft. spa, 40,000 sq. ft. of meeting space, multiple restaurants, and breathtaking indoor/outdoor wedding venues, the resort is an all-encompassing destination. This summer, guests can look forward to the debut of a vibrant new taco eatery in the food court (El Coyote Cantina), further expanding the resort’s diverse culinary offerings that include steak, pasta, pizza, and Asian cuisine.

Nestled amid the lush landscapes of Middle Tennessee, the city of Clarksville offers a golfing experience that combines natural beauty with sporting excellence.
With multiple well-designed courses, a mild Southern climate and diverse recreational opportunities, Clarksville has firmly established itself as a golfing destination.
 Golf Anyone?
Golf enthusiasts visiting Clarksville are treated to a selection of meticulously maintained courses that cater to players of all skill levels.
The city boasts an impressive range of golfing facilities, each offering a unique challenge and an unforgettable round. One such gem is the Clarksville Country Club, a hub for golfers since 1913. The club is now open for public golf year around with pristine fairways and manicured greens.
Onsite, P’body’s restaurant will satisfy the largest of appetites with hospitable portions of your favorite American entrees and desserts.
Swan Lake Golf Course is an 18-hole championship course, designed by renowned architect Bill Bergin. This center-city course combines strategic bunkering, water hazards, and rolling terrain to test players’ skills and decision-making. Surrounded by woods, filled with wildlife, and adjacent to Dunbar Cave State Park, Swan Lake has become a favorite among locals and visitors alike.
Eastland Green, The River Club Golf & Learning Center and Cole Park at the Fort Campbell Army Installation, round out traditional 18-hole course offerings.
Disc golf is another valued recreational amenity in the city. An 18-hole course at Rotary Park follows the hilly terrain’s creeks and streams.
A flatter 9-hole course is part of Barbara Johnson Park. Following an outing at Rotary, nearby Dock 17 is a large warehouse-converted restaurant featuring burgers, brews and brunch along with live music Wednesday – Sunday. Also nearby, The Thirsty Goat’s quaint outdoor beer garden features creatively crafted wood-fired pizzas.
While the city values outdoor recreation, Clarksville extends its appeal beyond the golf courses. After a satisfying round, players can explore the local attractions, from historic sites like the Customs House Museum and Cultural Center to the vibrant downtown with galleries, pubs, boutiques and restaurants.
Whether you’re an avid golfer or a novice looking to embark on a new sporting adventure, a getaway to Clarksville promises to deliver an entertaining and memorable experience.

One of Horseshoe Bay Resort’s most popular signature golf events returns Saturday, October 28 at 10 a.m. when four decorated professional golfers with a combined 17 wins on the PGA and LPGA Tours (including one major) face off in the Fifth Annual Shootout at Horseshoe Bay Resort on the private, award-winning Summit Rock course.
Exhibition Match
The 10-hole exhibition match will feature LPGA stars Gerina Mendoza and Angela Stanford and multiple-time winners from the PGA Tour, Bob Estes and Nick Watney, competing on Horseshoe Bay’s highly rated private Jack Nicklaus-designed Summit Rock course. Gallery members are welcome to take part in up-close viewing access at this unique event and will have a scenic walk on the dramatic, towering Summit Rock layout.
Playing along towering ridges overlooking Lake LBJ and plummeting through lush valleys and primitive limestone beds, this quintessential Texas Hill Country course is unquestionably the fifth star of The Shootout at Horseshoe Bay Resort and the upcoming episode of Golf Life TV that will be recorded during the event and aired all over the United States later this fall.
“The Shootout is a can’t-miss event for resort guests and members and the perfect weekend to play the Slick Rock, Apple Rock and Ram Rock courses then watch the pros take on each other the thrilling Summit Rock course,” says Horseshoe Bay Resort’s Golf General Manager Anthony Holder. “Seeing these players up close, you will gain a whole new appreciation for their talent and shot making. Make this the ultimate golf weekend and book your overnight stay for the Shootout weekend.”
2002 PGA Championship victor Rich Beem will play host along with Holder with Beem also taking part in the Golf Life TV coverage. This fifth edition of The Shootout at Horseshoe Bay Resort will be a 10-hole, two-team, match-play event, teeing off at 10 a.m., Saturday, Oct. 28. A Welcome Breakfast Reception will commence prior to the round on the Summit Rock driving range. All guests staying at Horseshoe Bay Resort that weekend will have access to watch all the live golf action on Summit Rock.

Less than an hour’s drive from bustling San Antonio lies the original Hill Country resort, Tapatio Springs—an ode to all this region has to offer. Surrounded by rolling hills, rugged limestone bluffs, and crystal-clear waters, the resort’s 220 acres combine natural beauty with the warmth of true Texas spirit. Boasting big-hearted service, awe-inspiring views, and the opportunity to make lifelong memories with the ones who matter most, Tapatio Springs is ideal for both on-site relaxation and recreation, as well as exciting area day trips.
Resort leisure amenities include tranquil adult-only pool and wellness options at Puresólspa, including an authentic salt cave, rejuvenating couple’s massages, and soothing body-scrub treatments. The resort’s true crown jewel, however, is its award-winning 18-hole golf course. In 2015, a $2-million renovation led by renowned architect Tripp Davis transformed the already remarkable course into one of the best in the state. Surrounded by majestic oak trees, the green takes players on a journey through the stunning views of Hill Country, delivering an experience that is challenging but playable for golfers at all skill levels. The course is open daily to club members and all resort guests, but aficionados will want to book the special Stay and Play package, which includes one round of golf per night.
Pro tip: reserve mid-week for the best rates!
Between jaunts on the green, take a breather at La Cascada, a bright, modern restaurant proudly presenting Texas-forward flavors and a large, inviting patio, often with live music. And don’t forget to check out their robust event schedule featuring fitness programming, a weekly singer-songwriter series, family game nights, and more.
Your Gateway to Hill Country Adventure
Historic and charming downtown Boerne is a quick drive from the expansive resort, with its quaint Main Street offering up classic Americana, boutique shopping, and an enticing assortment of pubs, and fine dining establishments. Northwest of town is Boerne Lake, perfect for kayaking, canoeing, or paddle boarding, and those keen on exploring Hill Country by horseback can head just up the road for an adventure with Stricker Trail Rides.
No matter why you visit, Tapatio Springs promises a personable, attentive experience, incredible amenities, and a uniquely beautiful environment in Texas Hill Country.
As George Strait, King of Country and owner of the resort, says, “Come for a good time. Stay for a long time.”
