Polson Bay Golf Course in Polson, Montana, is a public 18-hole course designed by Bill Benson in 1938, spanning 6,500 yards with a par of 72, a rating of 70.8, and a slope of 125. Set along Flathead Lake with views of the Mission Mountains, it features tree-lined fairways, water hazards, and bentgrass greens, blending parkland and links-style elements. The club offers a pro shop, dining, and affordable rates, earning praise from GolfPass for its scenic beauty and community vibe.
The course plays as a forgiving yet scenic test, with open fairways that encourage big drives but challenge with water and bunkers, like the par-5 6th with its lake approach. X users highlight the par-3 11th for its stunning lake views and tricky wind conditions. The greens are moderately fast, requiring steady putting to handle breaks. Golfers on X call it “a scenic, affordable round,” playable for all skill levels but rewarding for those who navigate its hazards and enjoy the lakeside setting.
