Golf courses
When the phrases golf courses and golf course destinations are heard, a mental image of St. Andrew or Pinehurst or Palm Springs probably comes to mind. People normally recognize states like Florida, California and Georgia as "golf course states."
For those who would like go somewhere different, I would like to recommend a "Golfing Area" that few people have heard of, but was rated as one of the "Top 50 golf destinations in the world" by Golf Digest in 2000. For those who have been to Northwest Montana's Flathead Valley, a beautiful valley surrounded by lush forests and beautiful Rocky Mountain splendor just minutes away from Glacier National Park, for those who have golfed the nine unique championship golf courses, it is easy to see why the Flathead Valley received that notoriety.

Glacier National Park, "The Crown of the Continent" is probably one of the most beautiful places on earth. Every mile and every turn offers another breathtaking scene out of a picture book see photos of glacier national park. With over 600 miles of hiking trails in Glacier Park you could spend a summer there and never see everything there is to see. Even though the Glaciers truly are disappearing, the park offers geological evidence of glaciers of the past. The famous Going to the Sun Highway takes you from one side of the continent going up over the continental divide at Logan Pass and down to the other side of the continent. Triple Divide Peak is the only point in the United States that drains in 3 major watersheds, the Pacific Ocean, the Gulf of Mexico and Hudson Bay.
