Your Game 16. The course, formally known as The Links of North Dakota at Red Mike Resort, is located in the tiny town of Ray nearly 30 miles from the nearest lodging in Williston. You don't get there by accident. The Links is for travelers, not tourists. Kay moved little dirt.
Fairways rise and fall through rolling hills.
Greens beckon from natural bowls and hollows. Among the feature holes at Red Mike, as it's called, are the par threes. The eighth, at 185 yards, plays from an elevated tee to a tricky two-tier green. The 17th, stretching to 232 yards from the tips, plays down the throat of a valley to a long, deep green. In a stiff wind, it's a round-wrecker.
