Painted Woods Golf Course, nestled in the rolling prairie of western North Dakota, is a hidden gem for golfers of all skill levels. Located just 30 minutes north of Bismarck on Highway 83, this stunning course features 18 beautifully designed holes that showcase the area’s natural beauty and dramatic elevation changes. With five sets of tees, the course accommodates players from 3,800 to nearly 7,000 yards, making it accessible for everyone. The layout includes 11 holes where Painted Woods Creek comes into play, emphasizing the importance of accuracy on the course’s multi-tiered greens. Originally opened in 1979 as a 9-hole course, Painted Woods underwent a major expansion in 2014, thanks to the support of the local communities of Washburn and Wilton, as well as the dedication of its members. Today, golfers can enjoy well-manicured fairways, a full-service clubhouse, and a practice range, all at a great value. Whether you’re a seasoned pro or a beginner, Painted Woods Golf Course offers a unique golfing experience amidst breathtaking scenery.
