Yellowstone Club

Entrepreneur Tim Blixseth established the Yellowstone Club at the start of the new millennium as a private ski resort for seriously wealthy members, hiring Tom Weiskopf to lay out an 18-hole golf course for play during the summer months when the ski slopes are free from snow.

What the architect fashioned is a mountain course overflowing with substantial elevation changes and sensational views, where the game is played out on bluegrass fairways and bent grass greens that are designed to offer resort golf players an engaging round of golf.

Notable holes include the 434-yard 4th, with a pond to the right of a fairway that rises up to a an elevated green; the 203-yard 6th, where a waterfall sits to the left of the putting surface; and the 541-yard 12th, which plays downhill to a green that’s fronted by a creek feeding into a pond on the right side of the fairway.
