Coeur D Alene / Idaho / United States
When people think of The Golf Club at Black Rock, the first thing that comes to mind is world-class private golf, and rightfully so. Architect Jim Engh has crafted 18 completely unique holes through wooded forests, across prairies and wetlands and around natural ledges, towering waterfalls and basalt rock formations from which Black Rock gets its name. This in addition to jaw-dropping views of Lake Coeur dAlene, was enough to earn the illustrious title of Golf Digests Best New Private Course of 2003 and enough to name Jim Engh the publications first ever Architect of the Year.
