Golf in Lisbon

Lisbon is the Ransom County seat on the Sheyenne River in southeastern North Dakota, a community whose river valley setting provides modest topographic interest in the surrounding plains. The Sheyenne River meanders through southeastern North Dakota creating a riparian corridor of cottonwood and ash trees that marks a natural feature in the agricultural landscape. Ransom County's agricultural economy and Lisbon's county seat role create a stable small-city community that has maintained its institutions through the demographic changes affecting rural North Dakota. 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.
