Golf in Steele

Steele is the Kidder County seat at the I-94 midpoint between Bismarck and Jamestown, a small community serving as a highway stopping point and county government center in south-central North Dakota. The James River tributaries provide the cottonwood-lined creek corridors that break the otherwise open grassland terrain, and Kidder County's position in the transition zone between the eastern plains and Missouri Slope creates a mixed agricultural landscape of grain farming and cattle ranching. 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.
