Last summer (fall?) there was a 9 hole post course installed on the campus of Salish Kootenai college in Pable, MT - just south of Polson. I haven't had a chance to play it, yet, but from hearing sidehuk and Lucas talk about it, it sounds like its worth the drive. Maybe one of them can post more details.
To get there take your first right at the first light coming into Pablo (about 2-3 minutes north of Ronan) then take your first right towards the college theatre, turn left before entering the parking lot and follow the road that goes behind the theatre building and take a left into a field where they have been parking excavators and trucks, go straight ahead towards the fence and park anywhere to the right of the dirt road. the first hole is just on the other side of the fence to the left. All the tee signs and post targets are color matched so there is no confusion. This course reminds me of Blue Mountain in a way smaller area which amounts to more throwing and less walking. It has about every shot in the book, including a sweet down hill bomb. The only thing it lacks is a good roller hole due to the dead growth and terrain. We usually play a round of the regular 9 then a round of "iron man" (tee of 1 to post of 2, etc.) making it really challenging. Lucas is talking about maybe getting baskets on the course and mowing some fairways this summer since he lives right there. For any more info call (406)880-4145
