About Spanish Peaks Mountain Club

At Spanish Peaks Mountain Club you can expect one thing; one of the best mountain golf course experiences in the Western U.S. Tom Weiskopf designed a masterful track that fully takes advantage of the wonderful mountain views and features a handful of forced carries, excellent par fives, and of course Mr. Weiskopf's obligatory drivable par four. Spanish Peaks delivers a excellent combination of playability and challenge by featuring generous landing areas, undulated greens, and flat out fun holes. The private course sits at over 7500' feet elevation so you'll be glad you are golfing and not running a marathon during your four hours in Big Sky. New to 2024 is the 10 hole par 3 course called "Toms Ten". 10 beautifully laid out holes that pay homage to some of Toms favorite par 3 holes around the world.
