Black Bull Rates as Top 100 Golf Community, Montana Rates as a ‘Place to See Before You Die’
One of the most relevant golf publications in America just honored Black Bull, a new family and golf community in Montana. Black Bull is one of 10 new communities on Travel + Leisure Golf’s list of the “Top 100 Golf Communities in America.” The January/February 2009 issue of the magazine features communities that have “exquisite environments which are case studies in how to make life on earth as pleasing, stimulating and worthwhile as possible,” this according to expert writers David Gould and Lauren Kay.
The Winchester Group, one of the developers of Black Bull, has six communities on this year’s list, with three featured in the Top 25.
Activities in Bozeman, Montana include golf, swimming, tennis, cross-country skiing and ice skating in the cooler months. The centerpiece of the Black Bull community is the 19-hole Tom Weiskopf golf course, which opened for member play in July 2008. Every home site at Black Bull has views of five mountain ranges, the golf course or water features. Lots are priced from $195,000 and Club Homes can be built there starting at $795,000.
Of course, who can mention Montana without thinking about fly fishing, better yet reeling them in with “The Bozeman Angler.”
In the 2003 edition of her guide book, 1,000 Places to See Before You Die, Patricia Schultz talks about Montana fly fishing, and skiing in nearby Big Sky, Montana. Schultz explains that Big Sky “boasts 3,600 spectacularly skiable acres, (almost) uniformly excellent conditions, vaulting Rockies views, and an average of only two skiers per acre – meaning lift lines are pretty much unheard of.”
A treasure not “unheard of” in Montana is the million dollar home. They can be found in several scenic Montana spots and all over the Western Hemisphere at PrivateCommunities.com
