About this course

Wilderness Club stands as a modern testament to rugged Montana golf, carved into the undulating landscape near Sophie Lake. The course presents a contrasting test: expansive fairways invite aggressive drives, while heavily contoured greens, framed by native fescue and strategically placed bunkers, penalize imprecise approaches. Longer hitters will find an advantage here, but strategic shot-making and a deft short game are crucial for navigating its demanding par 72 layout. Designed by Sir Nick Faldo, Wilderness Club avoids the pitfalls of overly penal design, favoring instead a strategic experience where thoughtful risk-reward decisions are paramount. While not steeped in championship history, it has quietly become a favored destination for discerning golfers seeking a high-end golf experience amidst the natural beauty of the region. Beyond the golf, the club cultivates a relaxed atmosphere, attracting a membership drawn to the tranquil setting and the camaraderie it fosters. The 'Trapper Grille's' bison burger, a local twist on a classic, has become a post-round tradition, embodying the club's blend of sophisticated golf and unpretentious Montana hospitality.
