Golf in Rugby

Rugby is the Pierce County seat at the geographic center of North America, a distinction marked by a monument in the town park that draws curious visitors to this otherwise quiet north-central North Dakota community. The geographic center designation brings a small but steady tourism stream to a community otherwise sustained by agricultural services and county government. Pierce County's prairie landscape and the surrounding lake country of north-central North Dakota create the natural setting for a community that takes genuine pride in its unique geographic identity. 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.
