Big Sky Golf Course in Big Sky, Montana, is a public 18-hole course designed by Arnold Palmer in 1974, spanning 6,500 yards with a par of 72, a rating of 70.5, and a slope of 125. Set in the Gallatin Valley with views of Lone Peak, it features wide fairways, water hazards, and bentgrass greens, blending meadow and mountain elements. The course offers a pro shop, dining at the Bunker Bar & Grill, and resort amenities, earning praise from GolfNow for its scenic beauty and accessibility.
The course plays as an accessible yet scenic test, with generous fairways that suit big hitters but challenge with water and bunkers, like the par-5 3rd with its creek approach. X posts highlight the par-3 12th for its mountain views and elevated tee. The greens are large and moderately fast, requiring steady approach shots. Golfers on X describe it as “a fun, resort-style round,” playable for all skill levels but rewarding for those who leverage its open design and scenic distractions.
