1444.0. "Montana Course Info needed" by CGOOA::DANYLUK () Wed Feb 05 1992 15:05

    Looking for info on courses in the flathead valley (Kalispell,
    Montana), to be specific anybody played at Meadow lake or
    Eagle Bend and if so how early do these courses open.

	ECA...you know this stuff. I have played this course a few times and consider it a nice Public course. Not long, not narrow, but requires some shot selection because of dog legs, water etc. Rough can be demoralizing and the danger is that the "openness" can entice you into banging away. SCD

	Hi, EagleBend is a very nice course probably the nicest in the area. I would guess that regular greens would open in April but it depends on the winter as to what shape they would be in. Meadow Lake I've played on and it's an average to good course, pretty hilly. Kalispell has Buffalo Hills which is a very nice course like EagleBend and is always rated as one of the Best in Montana and much cheaper than EagleBend. Hope this helps, Jim

	Hi, The current info on the Flathead Valley area is that they go on regular greens before April. I just spoke with someone who was down in Montana recently (mid April) and played on very good quality greens. I wish I could say the same for up here as we just went on regular greens last weekend.
