Whitefish Golf Club

The North Course at Whitefish Golf Club is a John Steidel design situated in the Flathead Valley of northwest Montana, with views of the surrounding mountain ranges that define this region near Glacier National Park. Steidel, a Montana-based architect, crafted a layout that works with the natural terrain and incorporates the area's mix of open meadowland and stands of conifers. The course serves the resort community of Whitefish, a town known for its proximity to outdoor recreation and ski areas. The routing takes advantage of elevation changes and natural contours, with holes that move through varied terrain. Water features come into play on several holes, and the design emphasizes strategic options rather than overwhelming length. The course is walkable for those who prefer it, though the terrain includes some uphill stretches. Conditioning and playability are maintained to accommodate both resort guests and local members throughout the Montana golf season, which typically runs from late spring through early fall. Whitefish Golf Club operates as a semi-private facility, welcoming outside play alongside its membership. The club provides a relaxed mountain atmosphere consistent with the character of Whitefish itself—a community that balances tourism with year-round residents. The North Course complements the club's South Course, giving golfers in the area access to two distinct layouts in a single location.
