Bully Pulpit Golf Course

My spouse and I played the back 8 tonight. The real Hole 16 is under renovation; club house staff represented that it would be available for play next season. Even with one hole missing from the round there was nothing to complain about. Power carts are clean and GPS equipped. Staff was courteous and friendly. The amount of merchandise available in the pro shop was surreal. You could play a poor round here but you would forget your play quality because of the surrounding beauty of the Badlands. If you crave elevated tee boxes the the back 9 is undoubtedly the place to go.

The regular season is forecasted to end September 29. Take a break from whatever you are doing and come enjoy this remote treasure; you will have no regrets.

We had an amazing day here. What a great afternoon of golf. 75 and sunny with a slight breeze early in May, early in the golf season

The course was in good shape. It would be fun to play it in July or August when the course has had a nice summer to really manicure it.

The first 10 holes are solid and fun. Nice layout. Hard but not too hard.

It is very important to play the correct tees for ability because there are many holes you have to carry your drive.

Holes 14-18 are some of the best I have ever played. Amazing in every way. Beautiful. Unique. Challenging and spectacular. Wow.

Good service. Pro shop has a lot of very nice merchandise too.

There are TWO golf courses I've played in my life that I remember as the most beautiful/memorable that I've ever stepped foot on. The first is a Jack Nicklaus signature course in Cabo, Mexico, that costs $400+ per round (worth every penny...really!), and this course, which runs considerably less. The stark contrast of the badlands with the emerald green fairways and greens on this course is nothing short of breathtaking, and there are just enough challenges (16th hole will challenge anyone) to make you want to come back, but not frustrate you into wanting to quit. Well worth the trip!!

Phenomenal. The back 9 is especially spectacular. I'm a plus 20 handicap but I did fine and thoroughly enjoyed the course and the spectacular beauty. Hole 16 is breathtaking - I hit into the bunker and was happy with that (took a drop instead of trying to get out). The landscape is so different and there's a small river running through the course at one point. Theodore Roosevelt national park is nearby and we visited that on the way out.

Absolutely amazing!!!!! I would say probably one of the best public courses in the United States. The back nine is unbelievable. Friendly staff all around #1 course.

Absolutely the best course I’ve played. You don’t notice the slow play or even the aerated greens, 30mph swirling winds… all you notice is the absolutely beautiful landscaping and natural wonders hundreds of feet in the air (on the back nine). Truly awe inspiring.
September 2021

August 2023. I visited from Michigan, rented clubs and jumped in an open spot because I was by myself. New cart paths on the front 9: Concrete! Were nice. The course was in great shape. Hole 16 was closed, so an extra hole on the front was used to replace it. Holes up in the elevation were great. Maybe I like it because I got a par on the Par 3 Elevated hole (not typical for me) Fun to play, I would recommend. My favorite part of one week visiting ND for the first time.

Great layout. Great green condition except for a few spotty greens....grubs? Last 5 holes are spectacular.

One of the most beautiful golf courses we've ever played. It's like playing golf in the Badlands. We played in mid-September and the fall colors added to the beauty. Holes and views from the back 9 are especially stunning. No water challenges but some forced carries. Greens were recently aerated but still played relatively fast and true. You will not be disappointed.

Played 36 on Thursday, 36 on Friday... Yes I love it. My favorite course ever and the staff at this course and Medora at large are fantastic. Hole in one on #13 Friday morning. They gave me this pin flag that made me cry, ?Who dose that anymore? :()()()

Very enjoyable round of golf. Smooth greens. Level tee boxes. Fantastic views. Friendly knowledgeable staff. I love playing this course when I'm passing through the area.

103 degree golf, thank goodness for the occasional breeze. The employees did a great job hydrating players with coolers of iced bottled water at several holes.

Fun and challenging course with many lost balls lol. The back has amazing views and imaginative holes. Would highly recommend golf here.

Great place to golf, so scenic.

Disappointed we could not play all 18 holes as under construction, but the 9 holes we played were amazing. Course in great shape and views were incredible. Club house staff very pleasant. Hope to get back in a couple years to play the whole course.

Beautiful but challenging course! Some fun hole layouts and overall a blast to play!

Best golf course I've been to. The back nine has amazing views and is challenging, but worth every penny. Employees were kind and courteous.

We’ve played the course three times on our way west to vacation. It’s a great course, spectacular views and well maintained. It’s a tough course, lots of placement shots, bring extra balls. We look forward to seeing the Medora musical on one of our future visits.

Excellent course, even if difficult, with wonderful scenery. Bring some extra balls if you are a newcomer to the sport!

My wife and I played 9.14.23. The course was in great condition, the staff was very welcoming and helpful, the views were wonderful, and the pace of play was 4hrs. We'd definitely recommend playing this course.

Kudos to the entire team! Bully, bully!!! 😄

The front nine is a very nice but the back nine is breathe taking, majestic, exceptionally. Can't wait to go back.
