The Best of Mountain Golf
When the snow melts and the season ends, many of us trade boots and skis for clubs and balls, rediscovering a love for all things green on sun-drenched fairways that stretch on for miles. Mountain recreation enthusiasts have known for years about the great golf opportunities in the high country, with celebrity course designers and rethought layouts built into the sides of our favorite mountains, we could not help but join them.
Here are our top-five public mountain golf courses.

The Best of Mountain Golf - Gold Mountain | Bremerton, Washington
Gold Mountain – Bremerton, WA The #1 course in Washington State is actually two courses in one: The Olympic, which has hosted such tournaments as the National Amateur Public Links Championship (2006) and the NCAA Men’s West Regional Championship (2008); and The Cascade, which is playable for all types of golfers, featuring the best of northwest parkland-style golf. Want a challenge? Play the Olympic course. Dramatic elevation changes, beautiful scenery, and large, brutal greens that beg for a three-putt. Looking for a relaxing day on the links? The Cascade will be more your style. Very walkable, wider fairways, and if you play golf like I do, you’ll be thankful for the gentler rough if you happen to miss the fairway. www.goldmt.com
