Old Works Course
Anaconda, MT, USA





Old Works stands apart; born from a landscape scarred by copper smelting, this course repurposes industrial waste into a unique golfing canvas in Anaconda, Montana. The course reflects the imagination of an era, a monument to reclamation. Black slag bunkers – remnants of the area’s mining past – visually dominate, presenting both stark beauty and formidable hazards across the open terrain. Designed by Jack Nicklaus, Old Works favors strategic play over sheer length. The course is not particularly notable in golf circles but offers a challenging layout punctuated by strategically placed bunkers and subtly undulating greens. Fairways that encourage thoughtful approaches, penalizing errant shots into the unforgiving bunkers. While Old Works hasn't hosted major championships, its appeal lies in its singular identity. A testament to environmental ingenuity.
