Black Bull

Black Bull occupies rolling terrain in the Gallatin Valley outside Bozeman, Montana, designed by Tom Weiskopf and opened in 2009. The course sits at approximately 4,800 feet elevation with views of the Bridger, Gallatin, and Spanish Peaks mountain ranges forming the horizon in multiple directions. Weiskopf routed the layout across natural contours and native grasslands characteristic of southwestern Montana, incorporating elevation changes and open sightlines that emphasize the high-country setting.

The design follows Weiskopf's preference for strategic options and varied angles of play, with fairways that move across the property's natural ridges and draws. Bunker placement and green complexes reward precise approach shots, while the firm, fast conditions typical of the region's climate allow for ground-game options. Several holes play along or across drainages, and the routing takes advantage of the property's natural movement without excessive earthwork.

Black Bull operates as a private club and serves as the centerpiece of a residential community development. The facility includes practice areas and a clubhouse designed to complement the surrounding landscape. The course has hosted regional amateur competitions and remains relatively low-profile compared to other Weiskopf designs, though it represents his work in a distinctive high-elevation, mountain-valley environment that differs from his better-known resort courses in more temperate climates.
