Meadow Lark Country Club was founded in 1919 and sits at the confluence of the Sun and Missouri Rivers. It is one of the premier Country Clubs in the Pacific Northwest. The large main clubhouse is the crown jewel of traditional private Country Clubs in Montana.
Meadow Lark has been a pioneer in Montana golf. Re-designed by golf course architect William A. Diddel in 1948, today Meadow Lark is recognized as having one of the great classic courses in Montana and has a reputation for the sleek, undulating greens.
The greens at Meadow Lark are the glory of the course, and its defense against even the best of players. They feature humps and hollows, steps and terraces, false fronts and slopes in a number of different directions. They are protected by grassy swales, mounds and strategically placed bunkers.
Getting to the green is quite an adventure too, as the fairways roll back and forth over a forested parkland. Pines, Ash, Willows, and Cottonwood trees, as well as sand and water make good driving a must! Water is in play on nine of the holes, with a series of ponds and the Missouri River providing the challenge.
The grand finale, known as River Run, begins at hole fifteen and finishes on number eighteen where golfers must avoid the Missouri. While challenging for the best of players, the course is enjoyable for all golfers because of the great flexibility allowed by its four sets of tees.
Beautifully maintained, the Meadow Lark Country Club Golf Course continually offers its golfers a splendid venue to enjoy the game
