Golf in James Town

James Town is a small community in Washakie County in the upper Bighorn Basin, within the agricultural zone irrigated by the Big Horn River system. The Bighorn Basin's landscape is defined by the contrast between the irrigated valley floor — green with crops and dotted with farmsteads — and the dry, eroded hills rising to the surrounding mountain ranges. Washakie County's economy is primarily agricultural, with sugar beets, beans, and barley grown under irrigation, and the small community of James Town serves the farming operations of its immediate surroundings within the broader Worland commercial catchment area. The Pioneer Museum in nearby Worland preserves the agricultural heritage of the Bighorn Basin, and the Big Horn River's autumn colors — cottonwoods turning gold along the river banks — create spectacular seasonal scenery throughout the valley.
