Overview
The Andy North- and Robert Packard-designed Northern Pines Golf Club opened in 1996, set on the floor of the Flathead Valley in Kalispell. The course is highlighted by its two distinct nines, the front being fashioned after Scottish links-style layouts, while the back nine tumbles over more intense elevation and snakes along the Stillwater River. Off the tee, you’ll find wide driving areas protected by tall fescue and man-made mounding as well as firm and fast greens with challenging slopes. The standout hole at Northern Pines is the par-4 14th with a forced carry over the river off the tee and an approach to an intimidating riverside green.

“Northern Pines and the Whitefish North Course are the two best public courses in the immediate Kalispell/Whitefish area. Course has two contrasting nines - an open front 9 and a tree-lined back 9 along local Stillwater River"
