North Idaho — Coeur d’Alene, Post Falls, Hayden and Sandpoint — is the state’s Panhandle, where the PEAK Health & Wellness Center in Hayden and its four indoor courts anchor year-round play through long, snowy winters. Public courts at North Idaho College and Cherry Hill Park in Coeur d’Alene and Travers Park in Sandpoint round out the outdoor game, and the Coeur d’Alene Tennis Association organizes adult social play. Unlike Boise and southern Idaho, the Panhandle belongs to USTA Pacific Northwest, reflecting its ties to nearby Spokane. This guide covers North Idaho’s clubs, events, adult leagues, high schools and the nearest college tennis.
