Another golf season is upon us.
On May 18, the Big Sky Resort Golf Course opened up for another summer season of golf. Getting excited for another season of golf is never hard but with some new additions to the operation this year our stoke level is at an all-time high.
Continuing with the Big Sky 2025 plan, we are making some exciting additions and changes to the course and operation this year. We have started some cart path paving which will be completed, weather dependent, by the end of the May. These improvements will take place on holes 8 and 9, and 17 and 18. We are renovating the right side of hole 3, a long par three, to make the area more player-friendly with better turf and more open space to land the ball from the tee shot.
We have received 40 new EZ Go golf carts bringing our total fleet size to 60 carts. We have made additions to the practice range with a new range picker car and also a new water cooler station at the top of the newly built steps. Back to the course, we are improving some bunkers and are also trimming some trees and bushes to improve sight lines and overall aesthetics.
In the pro shop, you will find brand new display racks featuring the latest fashion trends with clothing from manufacturers like Travis Mathew, Puma, Adidas, Under Armour, Sun Mountain and EP Pro. On the equipment side, you will find the latest technology from Callaway. We have the new Epic Flash drivers and 3 metals, Rogue hybrids, Mack Daddy wedges and all of the best-selling models of Odyssey putters. All of these additions give the pro shop a whole new look and we encourage you to come check out the new merchandise.
At the Bunker Bar & Grill, we have a new menu with exciting daily specials featuring quality food at an affordable price. The deck is looking better than ever with new cushions, chairs and umbrellas. Brunch will be offered again on the weekends starting in late June and going through the month of August. Come enjoy the “best deck in town” anytime to soak in some sunshine, watch some golf, have a delicious cocktail and food, and enjoy the beautiful mountain scenery that we all moved here to enjoy. You might even see one of our resident moose that frequently grace the willows below the clubhouse.
Yes, as you can see we are setting up for another banner year at Big Sky Resort Golf Course and we invite all of you to come out to the course and share in our excitement!

We all are familiar with using a limited palette, but do you use one? Do you know how to use a limited palette to create different color combinations? Are you tired of carrying around 15-20 different tubes when you paint plein air? Have you ever wanted to create a certain “mood” in a painting but failed? Do you create a lot of mud? Do you struggle to achieve color harmony? All these problems are addressed in John’s workbook in clear and concise language!
Based on the bestselling “Limited Palatte, Unlimited Color” workbook written by John Pototschnik, the workshop is run by Maggie Shane and Annie McCoy, accomplished landscape (acrylic) and plein air (oil) artists,exhibitors at the Big Sky Artists’ Studio & Gallery and members of the Big Sky Artists Collective.
Each student will receive a copy of “Limited Palette, Unlimited Color” to keep and take home to continue your limited palette journey. We will show you how to use the color wheel and mix your own clean mixtures to successfully create a mood for your paintings.
Each day, we will create a different limited palette color chart and paint a version of a simple landscape using John’s directives. You will then be able to go home and paint more schemes using the book for guidance.
Workshop is open to painters (oil or acrylic) of any level although students must have some basic knowledge of the medium he or she uses. Students will be provided the book ($92 value), color wheel, value scale and canvas papers to complete the daily exercises.
Sundays, April 14, 21 and 28, 2024
Noon until 6PM.
