The Links of North Dakota, opened in 1995 near the small city of Ray, is the top-rated public-access golf course in North Dakota. Built by Stephen Kay on bluffs above Lake Sakakawea – part of the Missouri River – the Links of North Dakota features panoramic scenery that includes the river valley and rolling hillsides.
Golfweek’s Best offers many lists of course rankings, with that of top public-access courses in each state among the most popular. All the courses on this list allow public access in some fashion, be it standard daily green fees, through a resort or by staying at an affiliated hotel. If there’s a will, there’s a tee time.
