Yellowstone Country Club in Billings, Montana, is a private 18-hole course designed by Robert Trent Jones Sr. in 1957, measuring 6,700 yards with a par of 72, a rating of 72.1, and a slope of 130. Set along the Yellowstone River with views of the Pryor Mountains, it features tree-lined fairways, subtle elevation changes, and bentgrass greens, offering a classic parkland layout. The club provides a modern clubhouse, dining, and practice facilities, hosting member events and earning praise for its well-maintained conditions.
The course plays as a classic test, with tight fairways and strategic bunkers, like the par-4 8th, demanding accuracy off the tee. X posts highlight the par-3 16th for its challenging green complex and scenic river backdrop. The greens, though relatively flat, require precise approaches due to their size and surrounding hazards. Golfers on X describe it as “a fair but tough track,” suitable for mid-handicappers who can navigate its traditional design, with wind and tree placement adding complexity for all skill levels.
