Golf in Jamestown

Jamestown is the Stutsman County seat in the geographic center of North Dakota, a city that celebrates its Great Plains heritage through the Frontier Village and the World's Largest Buffalo statue. The James River courses through the city, providing the water feature that distinguished this site from the surrounding flat prairie and made it a natural stopping point on the homesteading-era trail across Dakota Territory. Jamestown University — a small private liberal arts institution — adds an academic dimension to a community sustained primarily by agricultural services and its position on the I-94 corridor. 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.
