The Parshall Golf Club sits in the small community of Parshall in northwestern North Dakota, roughly fifty miles north of Lake Sakakawea in the state's oil-producing region. The course was designed by Dr. Blatherwick, though detailed records of the architect's broader portfolio and the specific date of construction are not widely documented in major golf architecture references. The layout occupies terrain characteristic of North Dakota's prairie landscape, where the topography tends toward gentle rolling ground with native grasses and scattered tree cover. Courses in this region typically work with modest elevation changes and open vistas that extend across agricultural land. The climate brings short growing seasons and strong winds, conditions that influence both maintenance practices and playing strategy. Parshall serves a small rural population and the transient workforce associated with the Bakken oil fields. The club functions as a community gathering point, offering recreational golf in an area where course options are limited by geography and population density. The facility reflects the straightforward character common to small-town North Dakota golf: accessible green fees, informal atmosphere, and a focus on providing a playable course for local residents rather than destination appeal.
