The Ranch Club is proud to be the home of the Mike Barnett Golf Academy, one of the finest golf instruction academy’s in the state of Montana.

Mike Barnett is synonymous with Missoula golf. After seven years at Eagle Bend in Bigfork, it seems wholly appropriate that he's back in Missoula as head of the Mike Barnett teaching academy at The Ranch Club.
Barnett, 55, was a golfing Wunderkind, winning three state high-school championships for Missoula Sentinel. He was the Montana State Amateur runner-up in 1967, at the young age of 15, and captured back-to-back State Ams in 1974 and 1975 while playing for Arizona State. Barnett blazed a back-nine 29 en route to an opening-round 67 at Butte Country Club in 1974 and wound up winning the tournament by nine strokes in one of the most dominant performances in State Am history.
Barnett went on to play the Asian Tour after college against competitors such as Greg Norman before back problems ended his days as a touring professional. In addition to his teaching experience in Montana, Mike worked for more than a decade with the John Jacobs golf schools in Michigan, Alabama and Scottsdale, Arizona.
