So after breakfast at Whitefish S, I headed over to Northern Pines. Today was the day to do 36 and I had thought of all those memorable posts by Sixpez doing his 36 days (hope he is doing well by the way). I do not know if Andy North is from this area, but I do know this is the only course I have ever played that he did. It sits N of Kalispell only a few miles. It has the feeling of a links course and a wooded/valley course combined. Front nine is on a great piece of land and back 9 runs along a beautiful stream or small river for those in CA. It is on a beautiful piece of land that has terrific views of the surrounding foothills and mountains surrounding Kalispell and Whitefish. Beautifully maintained and each tee box, fairway, trap and green would put any (except the best private courses) CA course to shame. As I have often said, Kalispell offers some of the best golf one can find in the Western US. If you are looking for a great place to play (the days are nice and long) this is a great location. Easy to get here from LA and a terrific airport convenient to everything. And after golf I went back up to Whitefish and had one of the best fresh trout dinners I have ever had. God please let me live to be 90 so I can come back here often :).
