Northern Pines Golf Club in Kalispell, Montana, is a public 18-hole course designed by Andy North and Robert Packard in 1996, measuring 6,500 yards with a par of 72, a rating of 71.6, and a slope of 129. Located in the Flathead Valley with views of Glacier National Park, it features tree-lined fairways, water hazards on eight holes, and bentgrass greens. The course offers a pro shop, driving range, and casual dining, known for its affordability and scenic beauty, making it a popular choice for locals and visitors.
The course plays as an accessible yet engaging test, with forgiving fairways that suit mid-handicappers but challenge with water and bunkers, like the par-4 7th with its lake-guarded green. X posts praise the par-3 14th for its elevated tee and mountain views, though wind can complicate club selection. The greens are moderately fast, requiring solid putting to navigate subtle breaks. Golfers on X describe it as “fun and scenic,” ideal for casual players but with enough hazards to keep skilled golfers strategic.
