Coeur d'Alene Ladies Nine-Hole Golf League Opens Registration for April Play

Women golfers in Coeur d'Alene can skip opening day entirely and still join the Ladies Nine-Hole Golf League, which tees off its Tuesday morning season April 14 with a 9 a.m. shotgun start at the Coeur d'Alene Golf Club.

The league runs April through September, rotating between the front and back nines on alternating weeks across the club's 18-hole layout. The April 14 opener carries a weather-permitting caveat, a practical acknowledgment of the late-spring variability North Idaho routinely sees in the weeks before the season finds its footing.

Open to all skill levels, the league enrolls every member in the USGA Golf Handicap and Information Network (GHIN) system as part of registration. That membership lets participants submit scores, establish official handicaps and carry those numbers into other events and courses throughout the summer.

The flexible join-at-any-time policy is one of the league's more practical features. Players who miss the April 14 start, whether because of travel, weather hesitation or late registration, can enter the rotation on any subsequent Tuesday without penalty. The nine-hole format also keeps the time commitment manageable, offering the structure of organized competitive play without requiring a full morning on the course.

Weekly league play at the Coeur d'Alene Golf Club, located minutes from downtown Coeur d'Alene, generates consistent revenue for the pro shop and cart operations, and the predictable Tuesday schedule creates steady traffic for restaurants and bars near the course before and after rounds.

Women interested in joining can contact the Coeur d'Alene Golf Club directly to register, set up their GHIN handicap and get details on rain-date procedures and tee-time policies for league participants.
