Golf in Watertown

Watertown is the Codington County seat and the principal city of northeastern South Dakota, positioned along the Big Sioux River and Pelican Lake at the edge of the lake-dense Coteau du Missouri. The city is the commercial and healthcare hub for the northeastern region, where hundreds of glacially formed potholes and small lakes create exceptional waterfowl habitat. Watertown's economy mixes agricultural services with manufacturing, healthcare, and retail, and the community has attracted significant industrial investment. The Northeast Technical College provides workforce training for the region's diverse employers. Watertown's manufacturing base, including a major South Korean tire plant, has created an economic diversity that insulates the community from the agricultural sector's cyclical pressures.
