At Old Works we offer the most unique and memorable golf experience, providing an
abundance of personal service and Big Sky hospitality for each and every guest.
Like a Phoenix rising from the ashes, the Old Works Golf Course has been reborn on the site of
Anaconda's historic century old copper smelter. The first course ever built on a Federal EPA
Superfund site, Nicklaus incorporated many historic relics in his design. With its affordability,
course conditioning and friendly service, Old Works is quickly building a reputation
as one of the premiere, daily fee golf experiences in the Northwest region.
Perhaps the best player of all time and considered one of the worlds leading course architects,
Jack Nicklaus has over 150 course designs to his credit worldwide. In addition Nicklaus
has six designs included in Golf Digest's America's 100 Greatest Courses.
As one of the largest Superfund waste areas in America, the site was also one of the most
challenging to design. Nicklaus, only signature design in Montana incorporated many historic
relics of the copper smelter, from the flue and oven remains, to fairways that border
and wind their way between black slag. The slag a by product of the copper smelting process
is also featured in all of the bunkers on the course providing a stunning contrast to
white bunker sand found on other courses.
The Old Works features generous fairway landing areas bordered by native grasses with
large undualating greens. Warm Springs Creek, once utilized by the smelting operation and
now hosting a healthy population of trout, is negotiated a number of times during the
round and adds character to the layout. Nicklaus also incorporated multiple tees each hole
allowing the course to measure from 5,290 to over 7,700 yards offering a challenge to
players of all skill levels.
