This course is a stunner!! I hadn't played it in about 6 years and this thing has grown up. The undergrowth grew in, trees matured, all the turf grew in, greens have gotten much better. From start to finish, this course challenges you off the tee but more so on the approach shots. The tee shots are very daunting from the black tees, though it is slightly misleading, you can't see where you need to hit it but there is usually enough room in the fairway to land it. Around the greens is where this course shines to me. They have strategic bunkering, chipping areas, and greens with enough but not too much slope in them. Not unfair but challenging. It plays 7166 yards from the tips with a 75.2 course rating. Needless to say it has some teeth. The 3 holes in the badlands red, tan and black buttes get all the attention but they shouldn't. They are great holes but the rest of the course shines too. 17 is one of the most visually stunning and brutally tough par fives I have every played. 18 is a great finishing hole. Every hole has something to it, none are boring and no two are the same. The course is littered with fantastic golf holes. Must play in North Dakota, I was surprised it passed Hawktree on the list of top 100 public courses in the US but I think I understand why. Also, the staff was fantastic, nice little clubhouse with a view of about half the holes and good food. Great...
Read moreI cannot explain what a phenomenal place this is. First of all the staff is top-notch and have some of the best customer service I have ever seen. Our first experience was last year my husband was not able to come and golf with our son and I do not golf. They not only still allowed my son to go for free with the Mid-Continent promo, they also said as long as I pay for a cart we are good to go. It was an experience my son will never forget. So much so that we just got done there again on August 9th, 2021. This time my husband was able to join my son. However, people that we were riding with were having car trouble and had to leave early. We wanted to be not so far behind them in case they had troubles but we didn't want to miss golfing Bully Pulpit.I explained this to the man at the front desk and he let my son and husband start sooner. You cannot be more grateful for the hospitality that these folks have showed. We will continue to promote and attend every year. Thank...
Read moreFun track in a beautiful setting. The service was just ok. The starter tried to push us out early cause he was running ahead of schedule. When I pay $100 or so for a round of golf I’ll tee off at the time I chose. I made that tee time for a reason. He was ok with that but I feel like the approach from him should have been asking, or letting us know earlier was an option. Not trying to be a boss and attempting to order us to tee off early. Minor issue. The manicuring of the course was lackluster. Think nice muni. There’s not much competition in the area and the setting is spectacular so I think they feel like they don’t need to have exceptionally accommodating service. I won’t go out of my way to play it again. If I happen to be in the area I’d go but that’s about it. Honestly the Dickinson municipal had better fairways and greens and friendlier staff. 🤷♂️ I guess worth the experience but that’s all. Now that I’ve been there and can say I played it I don’t...
