Frequently Asked Questions

What's the golf scene like in Beaverhead County, given there's only one course?

Don't come to Beaverhead County expecting a multi-course golf resort; this is a one-course destination, and that's part of its charm. You'll find a relaxed, unpretentious atmosphere where the focus is purely on enjoying the game amidst stunning Montana scenery. It's perfect for a laid-back round or as a unique stop on a broader Montana adventure.

When is the best time to visit Beaverhead County for golf, considering its Montana location?

Your best bet for golf in Beaverhead County is definitely late spring through early fall, roughly June to September. The summer months offer the most consistent weather and longest daylight hours, but expect cooler mornings and evenings even then. We recommend aiming for July or August for the most reliable conditions.

What can I expect from the single golf course in Beaverhead County – is it worth the trip?

The course here, Old Works Golf Course, is absolutely worth the trip if you appreciate a unique design and incredible views. Jack Nicklaus did a fantastic job incorporating the area's mining history into the layout, with black slag bunkers that are unlike anything you've played before. It's a challenging but fair test, offering a memorable round you won't soon forget.

Are there other activities or attractions near the golf course in Beaverhead County to make a longer trip worthwhile?

Absolutely, Beaverhead County offers plenty beyond the greens. We highly recommend exploring the nearby Big Hole River for some world-class fly fishing, or hiking and wildlife viewing in the Beaverhead-Deerlodge National Forest. It's an ideal spot to combine a great round of golf with an authentic Montana outdoor experience.

What's the typical cost for a round of golf in Beaverhead County, and is it easy to get a tee time?

A round at Old Works Golf Course typically runs in the $70-$100 range, which we think is excellent value for a Nicklaus design in such a unique setting. While it's popular, especially in peak summer, getting a tee time isn't usually a major struggle if you book a week or two in advance. Weekday mornings are often your easiest bet.
