Old Works Golf Club

Old Works Golf Club is a par-72 public course in Anaconda, MT, established 1997.

Old Works Golf Club occupies the actual footprint of the Anaconda copper smelter — slag heaps serve as bunker fill, black sand lines the hazards, and the Pintler Range rises to the south. Jack Nicklaus designed the course on this EPA Superfund brownfield, turning contaminated ground into a nationally recognized layout. The black sand bunkers are one of the more unusual sights in American golf, a deliberate nod to the industrial history baked into every fairway. The setting earns attention that no manufactured resort experience could replicate.
