REPORT 91 that miss the green long or to the left have an opportunity to feed back down on to the green. The proposed tenth is a long par four of 470 yards and plays nearly 60 feet downhill through a natural valley. The hole will play to an elevated green. “The wind blows all the time here in North Dakota so the course will play differently from day to day. The course will have wider corridors and will not rely on trees to provide separation. It will have a more natural and more sustainable character that embraces the rolling North Dakota landscape. We’ve provided as many as six tees to ensure the course will be fun for juniors and golfers with slower swing speeds while remaining strategic and challenging for the more-skilled golfer.” The new course will measure 6,935 yards from the back tees and will feature Kentucky bluegrass fairways and bentgrass greens. Williston Parks & Recreation District (WPRD) will hire a contractor to execute construction and has selected Erik Christiansen of EC Design to design a new irrigation system. “Because we do not take community investment for granted, WPRD aims to prioritise the long-term sustainability of the golf course beyond just golf itself,” says Barsh. “We plan to invest heavily in its design and construction, as well as ensuring access to sustainable resources such as recycled water. In the best interest of taxpayers and local government responsibilities, no shortcuts will be taken. “Our goal is to maintain the municipal nature of the course. The course will prioritise local users, serve as the home course of cross-country, high school and middle school golf and be the hub for youth golf development in the area. WPRD will strive to ensure as much accessibility and inclusion as possible.” Construction is expected to begin in July 2026 with a view to the course being playable by summer 2028. “ One of my goals was to create a more spacious routing with expanded safety corridors” Image: Kevin Norby Avoidance Area 2 185 550 2080 2070 2060 2050 2040 2030 2020 2040 2050 2060 2070 2010 2020 2030 2040 2050 2030 2020 2010 2000 1990 1980 2050 2070 2090 2100 2040 2060 2080 S S S S S S S S S S S S S S S S S S S S S S S D D (1968) (1968) (1978) (1982) (1996) (2008) (2002) (2014) (2018) (2024) (2030) (2032) (2038) (2044) (2054) (2062) (2066) (2076) (2092) (2102) (2082) S S 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 62.0 64.0 62.0 9 18 2 1 11 15 16 13 14 12 10 3 6 8 17 5 7 4 300 yds New Expanded & Centralized Maintenance Facility Residential Development Residential Development Residential Development Residential Development At Grade Crossing At Grade Crossing Expand Pond A Landscape Buffer Expand Pond B Short-Game Practice Area Expanded Turf Tee & Synthetic Tee Area for Shoulder Season & Events 42nd St. W.
