Madison Meadows Golf Course sits in the Madison River Valley near Ennis, Montana, a small ranching and fly-fishing community in the southwestern part of the state. Designed by Frank Hummel and opened in the mid-1990s, the course occupies rolling meadowland with views of the surrounding mountain ranges that define this stretch of the Rocky Mountain region. The layout takes advantage of the natural terrain, incorporating elevation changes and the open character typical of Montana valley courses. The design reflects a straightforward approach suited to the high-altitude setting and the area's short playing season. Fairways move through native grasses and scattered stands of cottonwoods, with several holes playing along or near irrigation channels that feed the property. The routing offers variety in length and direction, and wind is often a factor given the exposed nature of the valley floor. Greens are generally modest in size and contour, appropriate for a course that serves both local members and visiting anglers who come to the Madison River. Ennis itself is known primarily for its trout fishing rather than golf, and Madison Meadows functions as a community course in a region where golf facilities are few and far between. The club provides a relaxed atmosphere consistent with the rural Montana setting, and the course remains a seasonal operation due to winter weather. It offers golfers a chance to play in a landscape defined more by ranching heritage and outdoor recreation than by golf tradition.
