Golf in Valley City

Valley City is the Barnes County seat on the Sheyenne River, known as the City of Bridges for the remarkable number of structures that span the river's gorge as it cuts through the surrounding plains. The Sheyenne's canyon creates topographic drama unusual in North Dakota, and the Highline Bridge — one of the longest and highest railroad bridges in the country — is the city's most distinctive landmark. Valley City University and a regional medical center anchor a diversified economy that complements the agricultural base of Barnes County's grain and livestock farming. 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.
