Blue Mountain – 18 Baskets
The walker’s course. This location spreads out across a big stretch on the face of Blue Mountain located simply south of Missoula. The very first fifty percent of the program is primarily open with periodic tree obstacles that can obstruct the view of the basket, followed by the 2nd fifty percent of the program which dives down right into the woody gorges of Blue Mountain. The 2nd half can require a skilled hand at tree-dodging; though the fairways themselves are relatively clear if you can avoid playing in the rough. Generally, a “big-arm” course that needs lots of long shots.
