The Red River Valley and surrounding areas are covered in snow 6 months out of the year, but during the summer time these are some of the best places to play golf. Teeing off at the golf course set aside the beautiful scenery of the 10,000 lakes area with a cool breeze overhead is one of the best moments the Red River Valley summers provide.
We’ve compiled a list of golf courses in the Red River Valley and surrounding areas to test you skills on. If you play one, let us know how it went! We’d love to hear about it.
