Rock Creek Cattle Company, located in Deer Lodge, Montana, is a private 18-hole course designed by Tom Doak in 2008, spanning 7,400 yards with a par of 72, a rating of 73.5, and a slope of 139. Set in a vast ranchland with views of the Flint Creek Range, it features wide fairways, rugged bunkers, and fescue-lined greens that mimic links-style play. The club offers a rustic clubhouse, lodging, and fishing, earning accolades from Golf Digest for its remote, natural beauty and challenging layout.

The course plays as a links-inspired challenge, with open fairways encouraging bold drives but demanding precise approaches to contoured greens, like the par-5 2nd with its strategic bunkering. X users praise the par-3 11th for its exposed green and wind challenges, noting the course’s firm, fast conditions. The natural terrain and occasional water hazards require creative shot-making, and the remote setting adds a serene yet demanding feel. Golfers on X call it “a masterpiece for strategic players,” ideal for low-handicappers but accessible to those who adapt to its minimalist design.
