Old Works Golf Course

About Old Works Golf Course

You need to make the drive to Anaconda for this one – it's worth every mile. Built on the former site of the Anaconda Copper Mining Company's smelter, Old Works sits on land that's been completely reclaimed and transformed into one of Montana's most unique golf experiences. The black sand bunkers aren't just a gimmick – they're made from actual copper slag left behind from the mining operation, creating a striking visual contrast against the green fairways and serving as a constant reminder of the area's industrial heritage. The course winds through what was once heavy industry, but you'd never know it from the pristine conditions and thoughtful routing that takes full advantage of the dramatic mountain backdrop. The 4.6 Google rating from over 400 reviews tells the story here – this is a course that consistently delivers beyond expectations. The value is exceptional for the quality of golf you're getting, and the fact that it's walkable makes it even more appealing in an era where too many courses push carts. The setting is pure Montana – wide open spaces with the Pintler Mountains providing a stunning backdrop that changes with the light throughout your round. It's the kind of place that makes you want to play 36 holes, especially given how reasonable the rates are compared to what you'd pay for similar quality elsewhere.
