In 2008, Gozzer Ranch secured its place as the 13th Best New Course, a triumph for architect Tom Fazio. Its victory was attributed to the stunning vistas of Lake Coeur d’Alene and the panoramic farm valley. Gozzer Ranch's architectural excellence lies in its meticulous details: a subtle false-right-front edge on the first green, a backboard slope behind the sixth green, and the strategically contoured fairways, notably on the dual-fairway drivable par-4 12th. The shaggy-edged bunkers serve more than aesthetic purposes, defining targets and presenting varied options and challenges throughout the course.
