Golfers delight at the
diversity and depth of golf courses within 20 minutes
drive from the ranch.
Kimberley is home to Trickle Creek,
Kimberley and Bootleg gap. Cranbrook houses the
Cranbrook City course, St. Eugene, Mission hills and
Waylynn courses. Tyler often puts together a golf
group one afternoon from the ranch for those who would
like to play around of golf yet don't have anyone else
in their family or group who wish to join them.
All area courses have club rentals and cart rentals
available. If you would like more detailed
information on the local courses do drop us an email and
we're happy to get a 20 page golfers guide mailed out to
you .

Just
a short walk from the Three Bar Lodge flows the St. Mary,
a
blue ribbon, catch and release fly fishing river. July starts
the summer on the river. About this time the lakes cool
down and the water level in the river reaches that perfect
point. Dry fly fishing is what the St. Mary is famous for.
In the summer there isn't anything more enjoyable than drifting
a Hopper or an Adam's on the surface and then watching a
large cutthroat either sip it under or violently attack
it. Prolific hatches occur throughout the river in the summer.
Caddis and mayfly are favorites but one can't dismiss the
Stone Flies or even the Midges.

In
a good day's fishing it's not unusual to catch 20 or 30
cutthroat. The average trout will be from 10 to 16 inches.
The lodge has fly fishing equipment available for those
interested. Local guides are available for those interested
in guide trips or drifting. Fly fishing season opens June
15th.
