On September 15th, 1968, Montana Governor Tim Babcock cut the ribbon at the newly constructed Laurel Golf Club. Then, Harry Smart who was the President of the Laurel Golf & Recreation Association pulled out a gold ball and a gold tee, and hit the first of many shots at the newly dedicated course.
Since it opened the Laurel Golf Club has certainly lived up to a gold standard, having reliably served as a primary tournament stop for every type of golfer throughout the decades. Designed by Theodore Wirth, the well-groomed course has plenty of trees, and has remained a popular spot for the area’s residents. With a brand new clubhouse open to the public in 2023, the Laurel Golf Club will no doubt continue as one of the Big Sky state’s premier courses.
