Golf in Kulm

Kulm is a small LaMoure County community in southeastern North Dakota, part of the agricultural landscape of the James River valley. The community's modest size reflects the pattern of small agricultural towns across the eastern Dakotas that emerged from the homesteading era and have navigated demographic change across a century of farm consolidation. Kulm's country club represents the commitment of remaining residents to maintaining the recreational institutions that sustain community identity and social connection in small Great Plains towns. The surrounding prairie landscape and the vast sky that defines life on the northern Great Plains create the distinctive context for golf in North Dakota, where natural scale and the open horizon give outdoor recreation a character unlike the compressed courses of more densely populated states.
