The “New” Minot Country Club recently announced that the official ground breaking for the new golf course took place July 17, 2013. The public was invited to join members of the club and special guests for the ground breaking that began the construction of this new Jim Engh-design in Minot, North Dakota. Scheduled for opening in late 2014, Minot Country Club will boast a par-72 layout that features dramatic views and elevation changes, a natural stream and valley, and a modern design that takes full advantage of the land’s features.

The original Minot Country Club, which was built in 1928, was located on a different site and suffered from devastation incurred from the flood of the Souris River in 2011. Shortly thereafter a group of courageous members decided to rebuild a “new” Minot Country Club. They acquired property for the layout, tasked Golf Digest’s “Architect of the Year”, Jim Engh with the design and brought in industry leader, OB Sports Golf Management for pre opening consultation and ongoing management of the club.

The reception afterwards included “meet & greet” Chris Strange, new Minot Country Club Superintendent and Wayne Metcalfe from ACC.

Scheduled for opening in late 2014. Upon completion, the course will be appealing to members of all abilities and will feature four sets of tees ranging from 4,686 yards to 7,029 yards. In addition to world-class golf, Minot Country Club will have a new clubhouse featuring golf shop, restaurant, grille, conference room and locker room facilities. There will also be a practice facility with short game area, a member pool and other year round family friendly activities.
