Yellowstone Country Club
Located under the picturesque Billings rimrocks, Yellowstone Country Club has its origins in the Billings Golf and Country Club which was founded in 1914. In 1958, the club moved west along the valley to a new 630-acre site, with Robert Trent Jones Sr. engaged to lay out a new 18-hole course for the members.
Around a third of the acreage is devoted to golf (although 75 acres have been ear marked for a possible 9-hole development in the future) with four hundred homes constructed on the remaining portion of the property.
A bunker renovation was carried out in the early 1990s to reduce the number of sand hazards by almost a quarter and most of the trademark RTJ runway tees were also replaced. Since then, the club has invested heavily in a state of the art irrigation system.
