Golf in Scobey

Scobey is the Daniels County seat in Montana's far northeast, a wheat-farming community within sight of Canada where the golf course is one of the community institutions that defines civic life through the short but vivid summer season. Scobey Golf Course is a nine-hole layout built and maintained by the community for the community — the kind of course that exists because the alternative is no golf at all. That practical motivation produces a loyalty among regular players that resort courses cannot replicate. The Daniels County community's Norwegian and Ukrainian heritage is visible in the town's architecture and food culture, giving Scobey a particular flavor among Hi-Line towns.
