Wilderness Club

We weren’t sure what to expect of this resort deep in the mountains of Montana but when we arrived we were definitely impressed. The cabin we stayed in was beautifully decorated and had an amazing, huge living room, dining area, and big kitchen. Our room was appointed nicely with lovely decor. There was a hot tub right outside our room. We could walk across the road to the golf shop and dining area. The golf shop staff were very friendly and helpful and we enjoyed their merchandise selection. Head pro, Jared Rogers, set us up with a lovely day of golf on their incredible course and gave us lots of information about things to do in the area. Sherry made sure we had everything we needed in our room. Tina in the restaurant was a great representative because she was friendly and professional. The food was delicious. Our only regret is we aren’t staying longer. We can see why this is the #1 golf course in Montana.

I was so disappointed. There is no lodge, there is no spa, there is no hotel. You either rent a cabin or you rent a room in a cabin with a separate entrance and share a common room. They don’t tell you this Upon arrival I was pounced on by there realtor. When he found out where I was coming from in Montana he backed off immediately. The staff barely spoke English and the food and service was horrendous as were the prices. The course was ok but not great. The sand traps were cement. The air quality was what scared me the most. Both my partner and I started to feel like we could not get our breath. They are going private so no more Canadian or area golf days. This resort has had many owners and it shows. Don’t waste your time when Whitefish, Kallispell and Fernie are close by.

The resort property is beautiful. We were very disappointed to learn that the horseback riding and stables were no longer an activity available on resort and wished this had been indicated somewhere prior to our booking. The cabin was very clean however it was overrun with flies at check-in. It took our entire stay to kill them all which was somewhat disgusting. We also had to go into town to buy our own fly swatter. Our family time was significantly impacted on three separate occasions by the unsupervised young people/ adolescents on the property. I can only guess that guests are coming to the resort then spending the day golfing or otherwise occupied while their spoiled kids run around doing their own thing without adults. Behavior we experienced by one group of pre-teens/teens included swearing, screaming (including racial slurs) for several hours over two days down at the lake. While at the pickle ball courts one evening, we were essentially circled by an unsupervised adolescent female, dressed provocatively, for approximately two hours. We were not the only people who noticed this, it was uncomfortable for everyone. For literally two hours, this person walked around this small area, alone, making strong eye contact. The resort is too small for a family vacation when you're trying to avoid certain areas due to unsupervised young people behaving badly. I would encourage anyone visiting the resort to ask ahead about their policies around guest conduct. Be cautious when asking questions however, management overwhelms easily.
