Overview Eagle Bend Golf Club

Situated on the scenic north shore of Flathead Lake, Eagle Bend Golf Club is a private, 27-hole championship golf course located in Montana's Flathead Valley. From tee to green, the three distinct nines accentuate the beauty of sweeping mountain ranges, water, and trees. We take great pride in our exceptional playing conditions and layout. Eagle Bend's first nine holes were designed by William Hull and opened in 1984, and four years later, another nine holes were added closer to the lake. Eagle Bend was awarded the USGA Public Links Championship in 1994. Shortly thereafter, Jack Nicklaus completed the construction of a third nine. In June of 2022, Eagle Bend celebrated the grand opening of a new clubhouse.
