Golf
The Big Sky Golf Course is an 18-hole, par 72 course at 6,300 feet above sea level, offering spectacular views of Lone Peak. The golf course, which winds along the wildlife-rich banks of the West Fork of the Gallatin River, was designed by the late great Arnold Palmer. Don’t miss an al fresco brunch at the Bunker Deck & Grill before or after heading out on the course. The popular Bunker Brunch has returned, and will continue throughout the summer.
