Ray Richards Golf Course

Detailed description of Ray Richards Golf Course

Ray Richards Golf Course is a Public, 9 hole golf course located in Grand Forks, North Dakota. The course is owned and operated by the University of North Dakota.

Ray Richards Golf Course first opened for play in 1968. The course was designed by Robert B. Harris. The land on which the golf course sits was donated in part to University by Ray Richards. The 150-acre parcel identified in the gift agreement was listed at a value of $45,000, a fourth of which was given by Richards to the university.

The course was built on flat terrain. Due to the acreage available, the course is very spacious. Water comes into play on five of the nine holes.
