In summary

Ray Richards Golf Course is appreciated for its affordability and friendly staff, along with a pleasant layout that includes both golf and disc golf options. Many find the course in good condition, especially later in the year, and enjoy the fast greens. However, some visitors have noted issues with course maintenance, particularly in the spring, and challenges with booking tee times due to communication difficulties. The course's proximity to busy roads can also detract from the overall experience due to noise.

The course is built on alkaline flats so the growth on the course is pretty bad. The grass and trees don't grow very well just based on the fact the soil has too much alkaline. There's often a lot of hard ground, and dead spots in the grass, even at the end of the summer. The course is old but hasn't changed in 3 decades. In fact its probably gotten worse. The course is a practice course for UND's golf team and open to the public. The driving range is next to the frontage road and it faces the sun so if its a nice sunny day your not going to see where you've hit your ball because the sun is al…
