Most expensive golf course in Montana to play the same 9 holes twice. Decent dogs tho!

Staff is very nice

Well-maintained course with beautiful backdrop. Enjoyed playing here. Overall course is straightforward. Carts are clean and the clubhouse service is good. The driving range is a short drive away from the course.
Tom Hemling
Very average course at best. No water hazards. 1 sand trap that I recall. Greens fairways and t boxes were in acceptable condition. BUT $40 to walk 9 holes is very high.

Unfriendly and poorly orchestrated business From the start we have 2 people who can’t golf but wanted to join for a family day. Wouldn’t let us take out 3 carts and have 3 out of the 6 people golf because they’re short on carts. (Get more carts then. You’re a golf course). We’re beginners so we were a little slow so we let the groups behind us play through and they were still on our ass about it. Can’t even let people learn without a hot breath torching your neck Then finally the parking. Can’t even pull in, and can’t even get out without pulling into bushes and 3 spotters on ever corner Course is outdated and did not appreciate management at all However whoever was mowing the lawns and green keeping did a great job. Props to them, seriously. Only good part
