Golf in Flasher

Flasher is a small Morton County community in the badlands country of southwestern Burleigh County, part of the Missouri River plateau landscape that transitions between the flat eastern plains and the western badlands. The surrounding Morton County landscape combines cattle ranching with grain farming in the transition zone between North Dakota's eastern agricultural economy and the more rugged western landscape. Flasher's small size and its remote position create a tight-knit community character sustained by the agricultural families who have farmed this corner of the Missouri Slope for generations. 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.
