Wondering where to golf in Montana? Courses in the Missoula area typically open before courses in the Flathead Valley. The Flathead Valley has been named a "Top 50 Golf Course Destination" by Golf Digest. To play as many rounds as possible, pre-schedule tee times (for a small fee) through the Northwest Montana Golf Association.
