Golf in Rathdrum

Rathdrum sits at the edge of Rathdrum Prairie in Kootenai County, positioned above one of the Pacific Northwest's largest unconfined aquifers. The Rathdrum Prairie Aquifer supplies drinking water to much of the greater Spokane-Coeur d'Alene region from glacial meltwaters that percolated through gravels deposited during the last ice age. Twin Lakes Village Golf Course, within a planned community near Twin Lakes, reflects Rathdrum's development as a residential destination for Panhandle residents seeking lake access and ponderosa forest character without paying Coeur d'Alene resort-adjacent prices. The prairie's flat agricultural land transitions to forested hills toward the north, providing the scenic variety that characterizes the broader Panhandle.
