12th Hole at Wilderness Club (557 Yard Par 5)
What to Expect: Located just a couple of miles from the Canadian border, The Wilderness Club is appropriately named due to the remote location. Nick Faldo was commissioned to offer his expertise as the course designer at this property that started as a private club but was later opened to the public to enjoy. The surrounding mountains provide a stunning backdrop for many shots you’ll have throughout the day while the bunkers and water hazards offer eye candy within the bounds of the course. The course starts with a couple of warmup holes and then is really amped up through the middle of the round before dialing back a bit in preparation for the stunning finishing holes. The conditioning of the bluegrass fairways and bentgrass greens is excellent and the setting reminds me of something you would find outside of Coeur d’Alene, ID. Fescue lines the outside of the fairways and provides a variety of different lies and challenges. The vast majority of patrons are going to ride a cart at this course that offers some significant elevation changes at times throughout the routing. The Wilderness Club is comfortably in the discussion when considering Montana’s best courses and offers some of the best, most memorable, holes in the state. By the Numbers:
