Golf in Hankinson

Hankinson is the Richland County seat in the far southeastern corner of North Dakota, a small community at the tri-state corner where North Dakota, South Dakota, and Minnesota meet near the Sisseton-Wahpeton Sioux tribal lands. The Dakota Winds referenced in the golf course name are a defining feature of life on the open plains, where nothing interrupts the prairie wind's course from the Canadian north to the Gulf of Mexico. Richland County's Red River Valley soils create exceptional agricultural productivity, and Hankinson serves as the commercial anchor for this corner of the state. North Dakota's outdoor recreational culture — hunting, fishing, and golf — creates a year-round sports calendar where each season's activity is valued for its own pleasures by a population accustomed to the rhythms of the northern Great Plains.
