Black Bull, the new Family and Golf Community in Montana, is one of only 10 new communities that made it on the list of the "Top 100 Golf Communities in America" by Travel Leisure Golf.

The January/February 2009 issue features those communities who, according to Travel Leisure Golf writers David Gould and Lauren Kay, have "exquisite environments which are case studies in how to make life on earth as pleasing, stimulating and worthwhile as possible. They have sited themselves within the finest natural surroundings one could wish for, and added all the comforts of home."

The Winchester Group, one of the developers of Black Bull, has six communities making this year's annual list, with three featured in the Top 25.

"It feels great to have others recognize the work we've put into these six courses,” says Mike Rowe, Principal of The Winchester Group. "These are exceptional courses that create a total golf and community experience for their members."

"We are very encouraged to see Black Bull recognized at this level so quickly," adds Mike. "Others are just beginning to see the vision we've worked on for many years and they are noticing the quality behind our newest golf community."

Activities at Black Bull vary with the seasons... golf, swimming, tennis, and fishing in the warmer months, and cross-country skiing and ice skating in the cooler months. The centerpiece of the community is the 19-hole Tom Weiskopf golf course, which opened for member play in July 2008. At 16 acres, the community also boasts one of the largest practice facilities in the Rocky Mountains.

Every homesite at Black Bull has views of five mountain ranges, the golf course, or water features. Single-family custom homesites, ranging from one-third of an acre to an acre, are currently available in the first phase of Black Bull. The developer-built Club Homes—single-family homes designed by Locati Architects—reflect Black Bull's signature rustic elegance.
