Refurbished Yellowstone Park Bus

A 1960 touring limousine bus originally produced by the checkered cab company which was once used as a touring bus at Yellowstone National Park is being completely restored. The bus was developed specifically for sightseeing in the National Park System of the United States. The touring vehicle has 8 doors, seats 12 people, and features a wood baggage rack on the roof. It was originally used as a Yellowstone Park touring bus from circa 1961 through 1989. The older Yellowstone fleet was gradually phased out and the buses were used until the 1980's when the remaining buses were sold, as many vehicles needed major repairs. Sadly, many of the buses never operated again; until now. Black Bull is completely restoring the bus and will be used for member activities and will proudly feature the Black Bull logo.

Golf Course & Clubhouse Progress

The Black Bull Golf Course has been fully sodded & seeded and all sprinklers, cart paths, and bridges have been installed. The course will be open for member play as of early summer 2008, however, the club’s magnificent multiple practice facilities may be open for members in the middle of October 2007. The main practice facility will be second to none with multiple target greens, four USGA spec putting/chipping greens, fairway and greenside bunker options, and uphill/downhill lie opportunities.

The golf course in keeping with Weiskopf's designs is considered to be highly "playable", and will offer challenge and variety, yet "fairness", to all levels of play, from beginner to professional. Its design doesn't favor one style of play over another. Further, the course is designed for walking, with short distances between greens and tee boxes. In short, it's the perfect members' course.
