Colstrip Montana (406)748-2700
Hole number 1--Par 3
Relatively straight forward par 3. Out-of-bounds left and a creek on the right. The only two bunkers on the course are right and left of this green. Green slopes to the front and towards the creek. Short of pin leaves an up hill putt for birdie.
Hole number 2--Par 4
Hole 2 is a 400 yard par 4 that crosses the creek twice. The creek also runs along the left side of the fairway. Long hitters can clear the creek with their driver. The approach shot is very important. The green is small and slopes from back to front and to the left and right. Long shots will find thick rough.
Hole number 3--Par 4
This 350 yard par 4 plays straight down the middle. Out-of-bounds left and the creek on the right have accounted for many penalty strokes for wayward tee shots. Long drives can reach the green or have a wedge into the green. Green slopes sharply to the front and pin position can make par a challenge.
Hole number 4--Par 4
This 400 yard par 4 requires a decent drive to clear the gully and find the fairway. Long and left is out-of-bounds and right will find the rough. The green slopes to the front. Long approach shots over the green will run down the steep slope and leave a tough chip to get close to pin.
Hole number 5--Par 5
This 533 yard par 5 starts by deciding whether to take the shortcut with a long drive or layup to the fairway straight in front of the tee box. Pulled tee shots can go out-of-bounds and faded shots may find the creek. Laying up makes this a long hole but may eliminate big numbers on the score card. This green is somewhat domed and depending on pin placement it can be tough to two putt.
Hole number 6--Par 4
From the blue tees this is a blind tee shot. To the right is rough that is very tough to attempt a shot to the green. This elevated green has sublte undulation making it difficult to read. Par is a good score.
Hole number 7--Par 3
This 190 yard par 3 is considered by many local golfers to be one of the most difficult holes on the course. Tee shots are hit from an elevated tee box. Left of the green is hazard well below the hole. Right of the green is a steep hill. Short of the green slopes sharply to the left. The green slopes back to front. To par this hole hit the green on your drive.
Hole number 8--Par 4
Arguably the most picturesque fairway on the course, this hole crosses the creek four times. Aiming at the 150 yard marker is a great target for laying up. Long hitters are challenged with clearing the creek but are rewarded with a short chip to the green. Keep the ball below the pin for an uphill putt on this green.
Hole number 9--Par 5
The longest hole on the course, this 560 yard par five, has many obstacles that can result in multiple penalty strokes. There is a pond right of the tee box and two creeks to be crossed before arriving at the green. Long hitters can clear pond but must be careful to lay up short of the creek. Shot management is extremely important to get a good score on this hole.
