Detailed description of Anaconda Country Club

Anaconda Country Club is a Semi-Private, nine-hole golf course located in Anaconda, Montana

The Anaconda Country Club Golf Course dates to 1915, making it the oldest golf course in Montana. The layout of an 18 hole sand green course started in 1915. It took three years to build and contour fairways and greens. The course officially opened in 1917 and hosted its first state tournament in 1922. The Anaconda Company owned a copper smelter in Anaconda, Montana, and built the course for its employees. Gregor MacMillan designed the course.

In 1954, grass greens were added, and the course was reduced to nine holes for budgetary purposes. To keep costs in check. The Anaconda Company maintained the course and the clubhouse until the company closed in 1981 and turned the club over to its membership in 1982. In 1991, the club went semi-private and allowed non-members of Deer Lodge County to go golf with daily green fees.

Over the years, the course amenities have matured with over 50 cottonwoods, willow, and pine trees, not to mention the three artificial ponds and Mill Creek running through the course. This nine-hole course features tree-lined fairways. A creek flows through five holes. The terrain is predominantly flat, but a couple of hills can cause uneven lies. The small greens are elevated, undulating, and soft enough to hold your approach shots. The signature hole is #9, a 369-yard, par 4, requiring a tee shot over two willow trees in the middle of the fairway, then an approach shot over water to a small green. Additional sets of tees can be used when playing an eighteen-hole round.

The nine-hole golf course offers an 18 hole feel with differing tee boxes set for your "front" nine and "back" nine giving each hole a new twist for your second loop.

Anaconda Country Club plays 3,020 yards from the longest tees for a par of 35. The 18-hole yardage for the course is 6223 yards, par 71 for men, and 5545 yards, par 73 for women.
