Wilderness Club

About Wilderness Club

Nestled in the Tobacco Valley near the Canadian border, this Nick Faldo and Brian Curley design takes full advantage of Montana's dramatic mountain backdrop. The routing winds through rolling terrain with the Cabinet Mountains looming to the west and the Purcells rising to the east, creating one of the more visually striking settings you'll find in the northern Rockies. Faldo's strategic sensibilities shine through in the risk-reward opportunities scattered throughout the layout, while Curley's shaping work ensures the course feels naturally carved from the landscape rather than imposed upon it. What sets Wilderness Club apart from other mountain courses is its emphasis on playability without sacrificing strategic interest. The design team resisted the temptation to create a brutally difficult mountain monster, instead crafting a course that rewards good course management and solid execution. The conditioning punches above its weight for a public facility in a smaller Montana town, and the walking-friendly terrain makes it a refreshing change of pace from cart-mandatory resort courses. At this elevation and in this setting, you're getting genuine mountain golf character without the resort course price tag.
