Bridger Creek Golf Course
About Bridger Creek Golf Course
Bridger Creek Golf Course is a public course in Bozeman, built on land alongside Bridger Creek. The project grew out of discussions in the early 1980s between Dane Gamble, Rex Easton and Paul Boylan, who owned the property, with the aim of combining new neighborhoods with a golf course open to the public. The front nine opened in July 1994, and the back nine, constructed and seeded the same summer, followed in 1995.

The layout takes in views of the Bridger Mountains, with Bridger Creek winding through the property as an unpredictable hazard.
The course is active in the local community, hosting fundraising events for area organizations and offering lesson programs for veterans through PGA-HOPE. It has also been the site of two U.S. Amateur qualifiers, Big I and Rocky Mountain Section PGA national junior qualifiers, and a number of state and regional championships.
