Our tee time was at noon, so we had about one hour to warm up and hit some balls on the range.
What follows are pics from the tee boxes and greens. Along the way, we saw various animals and flowers. Here's Hole 1, par 4. White 370 yards (I'll play from here). Yellow 334 yards (Linda playing from here). First shot is a carry over a stream:
Hole 2, par 3, White 162, yellow 133:

Hole 3 fairway about 300+ yards out:
Hole 3 green:
Par 4, doglog left, big hill coming on next shot, White 337, Yellow 302:
Up the hill to the Hole 4 green:
Hole 4 green:
Hole 5: Elevated par 3, stream fronting the green, White 159, Yellow 126:
Hole 5 green. Linda's looking for a ball near the creek:
Look Bubba and Sissy, Grandma found a catepillar!
Hole 6: White 411, Yellow 345, Forgot to take the tee box picture, but here's its green. Nice house in back of the green:
Hole 7 Par 5 with a weird double-dogleg, White 502, Yellow 484. First a left dogleg then a right dogleg uphill to the green:
Hole 7 green up the hill over a creek:
Hole 8, back to normal. Water on the right. Houses tight on the left, White 384, Yellow 355:
Hole 8 green:
Hole 9 tee box. Tight on left. Water right beyond the tall pine on the right side, White 339, Yellow 323:
Hole 9 green:
Hole 10 tee box, White 314, Yellow 288. Our condos on on the left side:
Linda hit the fairway and the ball stopped in front of our condo. We're on the second floor. Our picture glass window is above her left shoulder in this picture.
Hole 10 looking back towards tee box. The building is one of Meadow Lake's new timeshare buildings:
Hole 10 green:
Hole 11 tee box. Dogleg right. White 372, Yellow 333. My shot ended up in the trees on the right. Linda's shot hit the fairway about 10 yards in front of the bunker straight out.
Hole 11 green:
Hole 12 par 3. White 146, Yellow 120. My shot hit the green. Missed my birdie putt. Linda hit the left side of the green.
Sissy, here's a pretty flower for you:
Hole 13, par 5, #2 handicap, White 554, Yellow 431:
Hole 14 par 4, dogleg left, White 480, Yellow 440. My shot ended up between the trees on the left and the left-most bunker. Linda was just short of the right-most bunker.
Hole 14 green:
Hole 15, par 5, White 437, Yellow 411. The main feature here was a tall pine tree 50 yards in front of the green. You can see it looking straight down the fairway as the last tree on the left before the long line of trees.
Hole 16, par 3, White 136, Yellow 106. Their signature hole. We both hit on the green from our tee shot.
Hole 16 view from tee box:
The main resort buildings from the Hole 16 tee box:
Hole 17 par 4, White 340, Yellow 307. Straight shot down the hill.
Hole 17 green:
Hole 18, par 4, White 328, Yellow 312. Strange layout. The yellow pole identifies the landing area. There's water behind the pole. From there, the second shot looks left towards the green. You have to carry the pond.
Look, Samantha! Canadian Geese met us at the 18th green:
We didn't get rained on, but it was cloudy and humid during the round. We were feeling some discomfort from the golf cart exhaust (they use gas-powered carts, not electric ones like at home). We heard several folks talk about how hard the course was, but I can say that it was a good challenge and very scenic. It is a good course to play for a reasonable price.
Tomorrow (Friday) is our last full day in Montana. Our plan is to head to Glacier NP and head south and east like we did on Sunday towards the Two Medicine area for some final hikes. The weather looks to be rainy all day, so we'll play it by ear as far as what we'll be able to do. Here's a couple of pics from Sunday as to what the Two Medicine area looks like. The closest lake is Lower Two Medicine Lake. The second picture is zoomed and you can see our destination of Upper Two Medicine Lake:
