Deer Park GC, Deer Lodge, MT. Today we saw no deer or mountains!

So where are they? They have to be here somewhere, right? We played nine holes and no evidence of them. This has to be bordering on false advertising. Deer Park Golf Course; Deer Lodge – with no deer anywhere! That’s not exactly true, there was one dear and she was sitting next to me for nine holes.

We are in Big Sky Country and we are welcomed to Big Fairway Country at Hole #1. Normally the views from this course would be outstanding, but the fires in the West spread a smoky haze over the landscape. There are four sets of tee boxes on this 9-hole course. If you only play 9, you use the white tees. If you decide to go around again, the blue tees offer a slightly different look. The two forward tees allow the same thing but at a shorter distance. With the wide fairway it’s time to shake off any rust and give your first shot of the day a good ride. Plenty of room to the left on this par 4, but a little hazard down the right in the form of a small creek.

Hole #1 – Big Fairway Country

Hole #2 is a long par 5 of 537 yards with a dogleg to the left. The layout of the course was printed incorrectly on the scorecard and luckily we were made aware of this before we headed out. Who knows where we would have ended up with the incorrect course layout. As you meander down this fairway, stay to the right because that side is much safer than the left. The par 3 third hole does not pose any real problems except that it’s 190 yards long.

The challenge at Hole #4 is getting the little white ball in the hole on the putting surface. It can be a little bit of a rollercoaster ride with dropoffs back, left, and right. At Hole #5 we caught up with the two groups in front of us. Two groups ahead looked like a “sixsome” and directly in front was a “fivesome” and between the two groups I counted 11 golfcarts! I’m a little jealous as my guess is many of these members owned their own carts. Everyone was very friendly and said we could play through but we were in no hurry. It gave us time to enjoy the smoke-filled skies of Montana. This par 5 has a creek running down the left side of the fairway. It’s a great chance for birdie unless you slam a putt way past the hole and turn that birdie putt into a bogey. 

Hole #5 – Par 5, 476 yards

Another straight par 4 of 330 yards at Hole #6. Plenty of trouble to the left on this hole but there is ample room to miss to the right. Hole #7 is a par 3 and I bet it usually has a great view of the mountains. They were obscured today by the smoke. Since we were slowed up and nobody was behind us, I took three shots at the green. I hit one right; one center; and one in the back bunker to the left. Talk about being inconsistent!

Black sand bunker at #7

Hole #8 is a dogleg left par 4 and Hole #9 is a dogleg right par 4. The finishing hole is the number one handicap and part of it has to be because of the green. It is crazy undulating, and I can see where it could make for a very interesting finish to a competition.

Hole #9 – Go luck putting this green!

Rating – Par (37 out of 60): If you have ever driven on I-90 across Montana, you know that the main cities of Billing, Bozeman, Butte, and Missoula are all about two hours apart. Deer Lodge is one of the stops along the route where you may want to get out and stretch your legs with a walking 9-hole round. The course was in excellent shape; the staff and members were very friendly and inviting; and hopefully when you visit you’ll be able to see some of that “Big Sky”!

P.S. As we exited the course grounds…still no deer!

Living the dream. Spending our 40th anniversary houseless and eating Dunkin Donuts in Santa Fe, NM. The journey continues…stay tuned…
Where were they? We didn’t see any? The Big Sky state was hidden because of fires. Review of Deer Park GC is now ready for review at www.alwaystimefor9.com.
Always a fun round at the @edgefieldmcmenamins Jerry Garcia birthday tournament on the 20-hole par 3 course. @mcmenamins.
Back in Oregon for the weekend. Love finding these hidden gems. @evergreen_golfcourse in Mount Angel, Oregon was awesome! Review will come in a few weeks.
The best way to describe our playing this course was…a few cards short of a full deck!  Visit my website at alwaystimefor9.com for our review of Coyote Willows GC in Mesquite, NV.
It had become a 9-hole Donald Ross New England adventure. Stop #5 of the 2021 New England trip: 9Holers; 9 Days; 9States; 9Courses; 900Miles was Carter Country Club in Lebanon, NH. Course review at alwaystimefor9.com.
As we drive from Atlanta to the Rocky Mountains, a great stop is @kirkwoodnationalgolfclub in Holly Springs, MS. I just have to remember that we are not playing in the thin air of Colorado. The ball just stalls in the thick humid air.
After seeing four outstanding drives at Hole #1, Bomoseen GC should have been named Seen-a-bomb GC. Stop #4 on the 2021: 9Holers; 9States; 9Days; 9Courses; 900Miles Golf Trip. Course review at alwaystimefor9.com.
As we travel along I-40, our next stop was Henryetta, OK and Henryetta GC designed by Perry Maxwell. Course review coming somewhere down the road.

We had a great time last Fall at Dudley Hill Golf Course in Dudley, MA. Another strange review from the warped mind of Mr. Always Time for 9. The Baby Boomers will understand. https://alwaystimefor9.com/dudley-hill-golf-course-dudley-ma/ #play9 #golf #alwaystimefor9 #golfthefairwayslesstraveled #dudleyhillgc
