Big Sky Resort
Arnold Palmer began his career as a golf course architect near his hometown Alleghenies, and he soon continued to more grandiose mountain ranges near Billings, Montana. The majority of visitors to the area come for its skiing attractions, but the Big Sky Resort opted to tap a big name to make its golf offerings equally alluring.
The club’s most aesthetically-pleasing holes interact with the West Fork of the Gallatin River, and small greens put a premium on shot placement at this 6,800-yard route. It’s enough to take your mind off of the ski slopes for at least a few rounds.
