Golf in Medora

Medora is the Billings County seat in the North Dakota badlands near Theodore Roosevelt National Park's South Unit, one of the most scenic small towns in the American West. The town was founded by the Marquis de Morès, a French nobleman who attempted to build a cattle and beef processing empire in the 1880s, and Theodore Roosevelt himself ranched near here during the same decade. The Chateau de Morès, Painted Canyon, and the TRNP's wild horses and bison create a destination community where Bully Pulpit Golf Course serves as a companion attraction to the park. North Dakota's strong community tradition and the investment in local institutions reflect the commitment of Great Plains residents to maintaining quality of life in a landscape defined by distance, weather, and the enduring agricultural economy.
