Unique Club/Facility Details

Established in 1975, Oxbow Country Club has built a strong reputation as one of the premier golf destinations in the Midwest. In 2019, the Club completed a five-year renovation of its championship course by Robert Trent Jones Jr., complementing a new $10 million clubhouse completed in 2016. The links-style layout stretches over 7,300 yards from the championship tees and was recently named the #1 golf course in North Dakota by Golf Digest.

The clubhouse offers panoramic views of the course and water features, along with upscale dining areas, spacious locker rooms, and a fully equipped golf shop. Amenities also include a resort-style pool complex with a kid’s pool and hot tub, and event space for up to 300 guests. 
With approximately 310 golf members and 90 social members, Oxbow has experienced consistent membership growth over the past two years. The Club is proudly family-focused and offers year-round programming for all ages, including winter activities supported by three TrackMan simulators and an arcade. Oxbow is also home to the region’s only TrackMan Range, offering cutting-edge outdoor golf technology that enhances the member’s experience. 

The Club operates with minimal debt and follows Club Benchmarking practices, maintaining separate operating and capital budgets. A full capital reserve study was completed in 2021.
