History

Rock Creek Cattle Company, Tom Doak's 2008 masterpiece on a working cattle ranch in the Deer Lodge Valley of western Montana, represents the most remote top-ranked private course in America. Doak found a spectacular site in the shadow of the Continental Divide, with the Flint Creek Range visible across the valley and the Clark Fork River threading through the property. The course combines Doak's naturalistic minimalism with extraordinary mountain scenery. Its geographic isolation and ultra-private membership have made it one of the most exclusive and sought-after rounds in American golf.
