#1

From the tee box, you have a great view of the entire city of Missoula and the magnificent mountains. This hole plays straight and down hill. The fairway, as all are on this course, is narrow. A poor shot left from the tee gives you an excellent chance of hitting a roof or a window of a house. A large fairway bunker the right side can cause problems. The green is a good size.  If you can drive the ball in the fairway on the first hole this is a good par hole.

#2

This is the longest par four and probably the most difficult hole on the course. The tee box sits in front of a small pond that shouldn't come into play. You'll be tempted to want to hit your drive straight, but if you do that, you'll end up out of bounds and retrieving your ball from a yard. This is a very tricky hole to drive on. There are a couple of large trees that can cause serious problems if you aim at the green.  You can't see the green from the tee. This hole goes downhill, similar to the first hole. The green is also similar to the first but has more undulation.

#3

This is the shorter of the two par 3's on the course. Some very nice houses lie just to the right of this hole. Sand traps are placed on each side of this large green. Remember, just because you're on in one doesn't guarantee a birdie or even a par.  Putting on this green is difficult.

#4

Houses lie on each side of the fairway. This hole requires a straight drive. If you hit it towards the right rough, you're risking hitting a large fairway bunker. Also, an approach shot from this area is very difficult as several large trees block the shot. If you're lucky enough to get it over the trees from this area, you risk hitting into a large sand trap that sits on the right side the green. Try to hit it on the front of the green, so you don't leave yourself with a difficult downhill putt. Also, there isn't a lot of room for error if you hit your approach long. A city street sits about 10-yards behind the green.

#5

Dog leg right! A long, narrow water hazard lies about 160-yards along the right side of the fairway. There is a nice landing area on the fairway to aim for.  This hole is somewhat difficult to reach in two if you're not a long driver. The green is small and sits lower than the rest of the hole. Large sand traps sit either side of the green. The green is narrow and is very hard to read.

#6

This hole plays longer than it looks. Big trees separate the fairway from the No. 5 fairway. Large sand traps lie on both sides of the green. If you hit the right club and get on in one, this is a good par hole but the sand does wreak havoc.  Also, don't forget out of bounds behind this hole.

#7

A long driver can reach the green in one. It's a risky shot though, since you can't see the green from the tee box. Aim straight to get it up on the hill and you'll leave yourself a wedge to the green. Houses lie on both sides of the fairway. The same city street that came into play on the 4th hole could cause problems if you hit over the green.

Note: You walk up a steep incline and across a street as you head to the No. 8 tee box. This is not a long walk, but it isn't fun either.

#8

This is a dogleg right and you see the sunken green from the tee box. One of the longest sand traps in the state sits on the right side before the dogleg. Try and hit your drive straight towards the far left of the corner of the dogleg. Then you're left with less than 120 yards. The approach shot you hit from high above the green. It's a fun shot! The green is fairly big.

#9

Not a fun hole to walk. This one is quite a hike. A small pond sits about 50 yards off the tee box, but shouldn't come into play. Large houses line the left side and the No. 1 fairway lines the right side. A large fairway bunker lies in between No. 9 and No. 1 and could come into play if you tend to push your drives. This hole is difficult to hit in two. The green is elevated and it's hard to gauge distance from your approach. If you slice your approach you could end up in the clubhouse or in a large pine near the green. The green is large and fairly flat.
