Just 40 miles away are two of his most recent golf course designs, situated in the exclusive residential communities of Yellowstone Club and Spanish Peaks. Both courses are near Yellowstone National Park. “I love to visit the park,” Weiskopf says. “You can ride horses into Yellowstone, and there are so many hiking trails. When I was hired to build Yellowstone Club, I never thought I’d purchase a lot in Montana, but I did. I never thought I’d build a house here, but I did. I never thought I’d spend so much of my time in Montana, because I dearly love Arizona.“But Montana puts things in perspective for me,” he says. “I feel alive here. I find myself looking around more, noticing more.” He talks about the changing colors of the day and of the seasons. “I love the light, the raw beauty of the summer and winter storms, the golden colors of wheat in the fall and the vastness of the land. Big Sky is a perfect name for this state.”
For someone who has spent much of his life on some of golf’s most brightly lit stages, it would make sense that the solitude of Montana would provide the per-fect getaway. And for Tom Weiskopf, it goes beyond solitude—all the way to peace of mind.
