Livingston Golf Course

Aug 5

No, Beth Dutton probably wouldn’t play golf here. She’s more of a Yellowstone Club Gal. For those of us not looking to break the bank on a round, this is the closest you can get to actually playing in Paradise Valley at the the gateway to Yellowstone National Park. Big skies, rodeo grounds, Montana mountain views, Yellowstone River access, and even nearby camping make this course one of my favorites in Montana. With the terrain of the course pretty flat and straight forward, this course will let you get western with your swing. The middle holes are prime for hitting long bombs away even with that duck hook you thought you fixed (keep a heads up for other people playing your fairway). The fairway grass is soft and the greens are smooth and fast.

The reason to come to this course is just the low key, relaxed feel. You’re here to have a good time with your friends, not pitch your next business venture to the YC Billionaires. Camp nearby, float the Yellowstone River before or after you play. Hell, you might even catch the rodeo.
