Award-Winning Circling Raven Golf Club is Celebrated on YouTube.com

Streaming Video Shows Why this Amenity of the Coeur d’Alene Casino Resort Hotel and Coeur d’Alene Tribe in the Idaho Panhandle is On Most Discerning Golfers’ Bucket List

(Worley, IDAHO) – They say a picture says a thousand words and seldom has that truism rung more clear than in a streaming video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B0WniiMK0Gw) about Circling Raven Golf Club, the Coeur d’Alene Tribe and its casino resort hotel on YouTube.com – the iconic social media site which allows people worldwide to “see, touch, feel and listen to” things around the globe they wouldn’t otherwise.

The video vividly demonstrates the inspiring, unspoiled beauty of the Creator-blessed terrain, and how CDA Tribe members ensure their sacred land – through Circling Raven – paid their predecessors the homage and respect they deserve. By settling for nothing less than a course which honors the tribe and its legacy, the Coeur d’Alenes have made their tribe and its legacy known worldwide.

“We have been blessed with the history and guidance which led us to this place, this time, and this land,” said CDA Casino Resort Hotel CEO David Lasarte-Meeks, a Coeur d’Alene tribal member. “It is our ongoing mandate to ensure Circling Raven and all tribal endeavors reflect the commitment we have toward excellence and making our tribal members and ancestors proud.”

Since its first full season (2004), Circling Raven has consistently exceeded industry norms, racking up more than 40 best-in-kind awards. These include garnering awards for customer service, “Merchandiser of the Year” acclaim on multiple occasions, and Top 100 U.S. public and resort course distinction from GOLF, Golfweek and Golf Digest magazines (out of more than 13,500 such courses nationally).
