KING'S WALK GOLF COURSE

The Red River Valley's unforgiving winds turn this prairie track into a true test of course management, where strategic bunkering and water hazards punish wayward shots on nearly half the holes. Arnold Palmer's design maximizes the flat North Dakota terrain with elevation changes created through clever earthwork, particularly on the back nine where doglegs demand precise positioning. What elevates this daily-fee gem above typical prairie golf is the conditioning—bent grass fairways that rival many private clubs and greens that hold approach shots even when the wind howls.
