Montana, USA

Western Montana

Western Montana is one of the most underrated golf regions in North America — jaw-dropping Rocky Mountain scenery, immaculate conditions, virtually no crowds, and some of the best value green fees in the West. From Glacier National Park's doorstep in Whitefish to the mountain resort atmosphere of Big Sky, this is the kind of trip where the drive between courses is half the experience.

Best time to visit: June – September
