This Hot Springs Resort In Montana Is Also A Golf Course And It’s Fun For The Whole Family

Among the many, many things Montana does better than the rest of the country is hot springs. From our fancy hot springs resorts to our rustic natural springs, there's no better place to go for a relaxing soak than a hot springs resort in Montana. If you like hot springs in Montana, we've got a great place for you to stay.

Fairmont Hot Springs Resort has always been one of the more popular places to go for a weekend escape or a relaxing day trip for the whole family. But while the Montana hot springs pools are definitely the main attraction, many people don't realize that there's more to this property, including a beautiful full 18-hole golf course.

Fairmont Hot Springs Resort is located between Butte and Anaconda, in the small community of Fairmont.

For decades, this has been a fun, family-friendly place to relax and unwind. The property is regularly renovated and restored, so it always feels sleek and modern.

Despite its contemporary look, this place actually has a lengthy history.

Native American tribes such as the Flathead, Nez Perce, and Shoshone set up tepees in the surrounding trees so they could enjoy the area. They called the hot pools "medicine waters."

These days, guests and visitors have access to both the indoor and outdoor pools, the waterslide, and an abundance of amenities.

The outdoor pools and the waterslide do occasionally have to close due to our harsh Montana winters.

While you can certainly come and enjoy Fairmont Hot Springs for the day, we highly recommend making a weekend of it.

Fairmont has 153 spacious guest rooms and suites, and the team will make an effort to accommodate your entire family.

The resort also has several options for fine and casual dining.

The Waters Edge Dining Room (pictured here) features local meats and West Coast seafood. The Springwater Cafe offers casual dining options all day and evening, and Whiskey Joe’s Lounge features a full-service bar, wine, microbrews, and appetizers.

But while most guests come for the soaking staycation, some don't even realize that you can also play a full round of golf while you're here.

Fairmont's golf course is a beautiful and challenging 18 holes that span 150 acres.

This course is best known for its mile-high, mile-long fifth hole.

It's recognized as one of the most challenging golf course holes in Montana, and possibly the country. Fortunately, many Montanans seem to be up to the challenge.

Fairmont Hot Springs Resort is an incredible destination that has a lot to offer.

Whether you come to golf, feast, or simply soak in the pools, you're sure to have a great time.
