Golf in Grand Forks

Grand Forks is the second-largest city in North Dakota and home of the University of North Dakota, the state's flagship research university and the alma mater of notable alumni including legendary hockey coach Herb Brooks and the community figures who shaped the city's remarkable recovery from the catastrophic 1997 Red River flood. The flood destroyed thousands of homes and forced nearly the entire city's evacuation, but Grand Forks rebuilt with federal support and sustained civic investment, emerging as a more flood-resilient and in many ways improved community. 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.
