Golf in Minot

Minot is the Ward County seat and the fourth-largest city in North Dakota, the self-proclaimed Magic City whose remarkable growth from a tent camp to a substantial city within a single year following the Great Northern Railroad's 1886 arrival gave it the name. Minot Air Force Base — home to B-52 bombers and Minuteman III nuclear missiles — provides significant military employment and the security mission that defines much of Minot's national importance. The 2011 Souris River flood inundated a quarter of Minot's housing, and the city's ongoing recovery reflects both the challenge and the resilience of a northern plains community.
