Golf in Cooperstown

Cooperstown is the Griggs County seat in east-central North Dakota, a small agricultural community maintaining its county seat role amid the population pressures affecting rural North Dakota. The Sheyenne River valley nearby provides modest topographic relief from the surrounding plains, and Griggs County's grain farming economy reflects the intensive agriculture of the James River valley country. Cooperstown's county seat functions sustain government employment and basic services for the surrounding agricultural communities. The community's position in North Dakota's vast agricultural landscape creates the social context where the golf club functions as an essential gathering point during the compressed summer season that follows each long prairie winter.
