Course Report
Wilderness Club is ranked in the Top 60 public golf courses in America by Golf Digest and has twice been recognized as Montana’s top-ranked golf experience.
About
The Wilderness Club in Eureka, Montana, was designed by Sir Nick Faldo and is consistently rated as the #1 golf course in Montana. Set within 550 acres of picturesque Rocky Mountain woodlands, the resort offers a championship-caliber 18-hole layout praised for its design variety, stunning mountain views, and impeccable conditioning. The experience balances challenging strategy with a welcoming atmosphere for all golfers.
Caddie Tip
Hit fairways to set up manageable approaches—misses can be punished by deep, natural bunkers and strategic hazards. Bring your best iron game for the variety of green complexes, and keep an eye on shifting wind through the back nine. The greens tend to run fast and true, demanding careful touch throughout your round.
The Main Challenge
The most formidable test at Wilderness Club is its demanding stretch of finishing holes, where fast greens and natural hazards converge with shifting winds. Fairways are generous but recovery from wayward shots is tough due to deep bunkers and thick native rough. Course management and precise approach play are required for a good score.
The Good
Golfers rave about the breathtaking mountain scenery on nearly every hole, with pristine forests and natural water features making each round unforgettable. The course design offers a mix of inviting fairways and strategic shot-making, making it a favorite for both casual and serious players looking for an idyllic Montana escape.
The Not So Good
Some guests have noted limited dining options and would appreciate more robust food and beverage services, especially during peak periods. A few also mention that, due to the remote location, tee times can book up fast during summer weekends, and course amenities such as practice areas could benefit from periodic updates.
Signature Hole:
#
18
The 18th hole is a memorable par 4 finishing hole framed by towering pines and set against a dramatic mountain backdrop. Its wide fairway invites an aggressive drive, while the approach to a subtly contoured green is protected by deep bunkers. Both a scenic and strategic climax to the round, this hole exemplifies the balance of challenge and beauty throughout the course.
Clubhouse
The clubhouse features a pro shop, locker rooms, the Wilderness Grille restaurant, and an expansive patio overlooking the 18th. Other resort offerings include a spa, outdoor pools, a private beach and lake, and a family sports park, ensuring a complete resort experience on and off the course.
Practice Facilities
Wilderness Club provides a full practice range with all-grass tees, a 9,000 sq. ft. putting green, and a sizable pitching area with a deep-faced bunker, ideal for short game work. Facilities are modern and well maintained, supporting serious warm-up and practice sessions for all levels.
