Thinking About Living in Spanish Peaks Mountain Club?
Get connected with a local real-estate specialist who understands Spanish Peaks Mountain Club and the surrounding Big Sky & Bozeman / Gallatin Valley golf market.
Spanish Peaks Mountain Club is a 5,750-acre private ski-and-golf community in Big Sky that emerged from its own bankruptcy history: CrossHarbor Capital Partners, working with Boyne Resorts, acquired Spanish Peaks out of bankruptcy for roughly $26 million in mid-2013, in the same period CrossHarbor/Boyne also acquired neighboring Moonlight Basin. The ski terrain was subsequently folded into Big Sky Resort under Boyne, while the private club, golf, and residential real estate side of Spanish Peaks has been managed since 2013 by Lone Mountain Land Company, CrossHarbor's Big Sky-focused development affiliate, and day-to-day resort operations are run in partnership with Montage Hotels & Resorts, whose Montage Big Sky property (150 rooms/suites plus 39 branded Montage Residences) sits inside the Spanish Peaks community with direct access to the private club.
What distinguishes Spanish Peaks from its Yellowstone Club neighbor is a genuinely bundled access model: buying real estate in Spanish Peaks automatically confers club membership rather than requiring a separate application and admission process. The club's golf offering is unusually deep for a single community -- an 18-hole, roughly 7,200-yard Tom Weiskopf/Phil Smith championship course plus "Tom's 10," a 10-hole par-3 course that was Weiskopf's final design before his death, opened to pay homage to some of his favorite short holes worldwide. Residential product spans custom mountain homes built to club architectural standards, condominiums and townhomes near the clubhouse and Montage for a lower-maintenance entry point, and homesites ranging from roughly 1 to 25 acres.
Golf & Course
The Club at Spanish Peaks is an 18-hole, approximately 7,200-yard Tom Weiskopf/Phil Smith championship design. Weiskopf later returned to design Tom's 10, a 10-hole par-3 course styled after some of his favorite short holes from courses around the world -- it opened as his final design credit. Both courses are private and reserved for club members and their guests.
Membership & Access
Does buying a home here include club membership?
Club membership at Spanish Peaks is bundled to property ownership: purchasing real estate in the community automatically makes the buyer a member, with the specific tier (Social vs. Signature Golf) determined by what's purchased or elected. Signature Golf Membership includes unlimited golf for the member and immediate family with no greens fees; Social Membership includes only limited, fee-based golf access alongside the broader lifestyle amenities.
Living in Spanish Peaks Mountain Club
Spanish Peaks is entirely gated and private. Housing stock ranges from full custom mountain homes built to the club's architectural design standards, to condominiums and townhomes clustered near the clubhouse and the adjacent Montage Big Sky resort, to raw homesites from roughly 1 to 25 acres for custom builds. The Montage Big Sky hotel and its 39 branded residences sit inside the community and share access to Spanish Peaks Mountain Club's private amenities.
Lifestyle & Amenities
The clubhouse offers dining, a bar, swimming pool, hot tubs, a fitness center, tennis and pickleball, and children's programming, and the community has direct ski access into Big Sky Resort's 5,850-plus acres of skiable terrain, in addition to its own golf.

What Buyers Should Verify
- Confirm current initiation fee and dues directly with the club -- the figures used here come from a third-party buyer guide citing a schedule dated September 2025, not the club's own current published number.
- Confirm which specific real estate products (which condo/townhome phases vs. custom homesites) carry which membership tier by default before assuming Signature Golf access.
- Acreage is reported inconsistently across sources (5,750 acres in most sources vs. a narrower 3,530-acre figure describing the Big Sky community footprint specifically) -- confirm current total with the club/developer.
Notable
- Acquired out of bankruptcy by CrossHarbor Capital Partners (with Boyne Resorts) for roughly $26 million in mid-2013, and has been managed by Lone Mountain Land Company since.
