anaconda hills golf course

I played this course over the years as I grew up in Great Falls. This is the first time I played the back nine. It's tough, but fair. Lots of hills so a cart is a must for me. Well kept fairways and greens were very nice! The staff was friendly and the price is right. Go Play!!!!

Nice course to play and the name says it all. Very hilly especially to walk. Recommend a drive cart if you are so inclined. Back nine a little newer but still challenging.

Very decent city course. Have golfed it twice, would do it again anytime.

This golf course is challenging and very pretty...if one likes hills

I lived in Great Falls, MT for about 8 years and played Anaconda Hill's golf course for about 4 consecutive years. It is a par 34 on the front and a par 35 on the back for a total of 69. It is not a long course by any means, I believe about 5700 yards from the back tees, but don't quote me on that. The front nine is very pleasant looking, with several fairways lined with trees on either one side or the other if not both. However, on the back nine, be prepared for little to no beauty as the fairways are lined with nothing more than brush and weeds in which you will not find your ball should you land in it. The course as a whole is very hilly, I'd suggest using a cart, however I spent many a day walking it. Unfortunately, by about the 14th hole I was kicking myself for not spending the extra money for the cart on such days. Pretty much every hole is either up a hill or down a hill, you will not find anything flat here. One thing I recall was that the wind was really bad about 90% of the time I played there, and I had a season pass for 2 years, so I played there pretty regularly. I'm talking about a consistent 15-30 mph wind (the chinook winds). The greens are fair at best, expect a lot of hops and bounces during your putts. But all in all, the greens are not that difficult, most are relatively flat (the only things flat on the course). I often played alone, and the one thing I remember is that just about everyone I got paired up with were really good company. I always enjoyed meeting new people there because of that. However, the "etiquette" there isn't quite up to par. It's very common to see people playing in gym shorts and a tank top, or blue jeans and a t-shirt. There basically is no dress code except that you can't play shirtless. With that said though, there is definitely a large amount of regulars who do dress the part of golf (usually older retirees). Anaconda Hills is one of two city owned municipal golf courses, the other being Eagle Falls. Eagle Falls is without a doubt a nicer and flatter course, and a bit more challenging. One good thing though about Anaconda is that if you couldn't get a tee time somewhere else, or you just decided to play a round spontaneously, there was always room in their schedule to fit you in even if you walked in unannounced, unless there is a league going on. So all in all, it's ok, not great, but a course that I enjoyed going to due to the friendly staff and ease of getting a tee time.Macc

Great Falls, Montana is home to five golf courses. The legendary Meadow Lark Country Club, a private clup with a reciprical ( one of the finest tracks in the Northwestern USA! ), Gannon Ranch Golf Course, Emerald Green Golf Club and the two municipal courses Eagle Falls Golf Club and Anaconda Hills Golf Course.Anaconda Hills, built by the Anaconda company next to the "old smelter" is carved out on "the hill" and offers a competitive golf challenge and magnificent vistas of Great Falls and surrounding area including the magnificent Missouri river. A must for avid golfers and the novice alike!Although short in length, the inevitable hillside lies and treacherous rough " Montana style" makes for an interesting and unforgetable outing. Be prepared to lose a few!Afterwards the 19th hole provides...a truley Montana "Big Sky" welcome including a relaxing must ........"Red Beers"................
