Black Bull golf course opens this month
July 15, 2008: Bozeman, MT – Black Bull, Montana's newest private golf course, opens to members this month. The practice facility, which features synthetic grass for early-season stroke work, opens for play this Saturday, July 19. Course designer Tom Weiskopf will be on hand when the 16 acre practice facility, the largest in the Rocky Mountains, opens.
The following Friday, the par 72, 7,200 yard course will open to members. "The course is in terrific condition and ready for play," says David Baucom, Director of Golf. "The greens, fairways, bunkers and tees are in great condition." Overall, the layout at Black Bull is designed to provide an outstanding "core" golf experience—a rarity in today’s residential courses—by strategically positioning the homesites to amplify the incredible mountain views. And, with up to 7 tees per hole, the experience is optimal for both beginner and expert golfers.
A unique feature of this course is the "bye hole" which is a signature 19th hole and is designed to settle all bets. "Bye holes are common in Scotland, but there are less than a dozen courses that feature this addition in the United States," adds Baucom.
The opening of the Corral, Black Bull's clubhouse, coincides with the course opening, and features dining services for members. A car washing facility and tennis courts will also be available for member use later this summer.
