Bill Roberts Golf Course

About Bill Roberts Golf Course

This municipal track sits in the heart of Helena with the Rocky Mountain foothills providing a dramatic backdrop that makes you forget you're playing a city course. The layout takes advantage of Montana's rolling terrain, with several elevated tees that give you sweeping views of the valley while testing your ability to judge distance in the thin mountain air. What sets Bill Roberts apart from other public courses in the region is its surprisingly varied routing – you'll face doglegs that follow natural ridge lines and approach shots to greens nestled against hillsides that create interesting optical illusions. The course punches well above its weight for a municipal facility, with conditioning that rivals many private clubs in the area. At 4.3 stars from nearly 200 reviews, it's clearly resonating with locals and visitors alike who appreciate both the challenge and the value. Walking is encouraged here, and you should take advantage – the terrain isn't punishing, and you'll get a better feel for the subtle elevation changes that can fool you from a cart. For the green fee, you're getting legitimate mountain golf without the resort pricing.
