Golf in Westhope

Westhope is a small Bottineau County community near the Canadian border in the Turtle Mountains region, one of North Dakota's most distinctive natural landscapes. The Turtle Mountains' forested plateau rises above the surrounding plains, creating a forested environment unusual in a state dominated by grassland and agricultural fields. Westhope's proximity to Manitoba creates genuine cross-border community ties, and the International Peace Garden — shared between the two jurisdictions — lies nearby, celebrating the peaceful border that has defined North American international relations. North Dakota's outdoor recreational culture — hunting, fishing, and golf — creates a year-round sports calendar where each season's activity is valued for its own pleasures by a population accustomed to the rhythms of the northern Great Plains.
