About this course
Buffalo Hill Golf Club, a cornerstone of Kalispell golfing heritage, features two distinct courses tracing back to the 1930s, offering panoramic Montana views. The original 18, now the Championship Course, is a classic parkland layout sculpted by the hand of William "Billy" Bell Sr., known for his work throughout the West. The terrain here favors shot-shaping rather than brute force, rewarding clever angles on doglegs that wind through mature pines. While not nationally renowned, Buffalo Hill holds a special place in the hearts of local golfers, prized for its accessibility and engaging design. The later addition, the aptly named "Cameron 9", while shorter, challenges golfers with its undulating greens and strategic bunkering. Bell's original design has seen thoughtful renovations over the years, preserving the course's integrity while subtly modernizing its playability for contemporary golfers. Beyond the golf, Buffalo Hill cultivates a convivial atmosphere, especially known for its member tournaments and relaxed dining on the patio. It remains a beloved hub for Kalispell residents, offering a timeless golfing experience amidst the beauty of the Flathead Valley.
