University of Montana Golf Club

The University of Montana Golf Course serves the university community and public golfers in Missoula, situated in western Montana's mountain valley setting. Designed by Gregor MacMillan, the course occupies terrain characteristic of the region, where the layout works with the natural topography near the Clark Fork River drainage. The routing takes advantage of the area's elevation changes and native grasses, with views of the surrounding mountain ranges that define the Missoula basin. As a university-affiliated facility, the course functions as both a recreational amenity for students, faculty, and staff, and a public-access layout for area golfers. The design reflects the practical considerations of a campus course while incorporating the landscape features available on the property. Play here involves navigating the transitions between flatter stretches and more rolling ground, with mature trees framing several holes and water features coming into play on select portions of the routing. The course operates within the context of Montana golf, where the season runs from spring through fall and conditions reflect the high-elevation climate. University courses often emphasize accessibility and playability for a range of skill levels, and this layout serves that role for the Missoula golf community while providing a home course for the university's golf programs.
