About
Rose Creek Golf Course in Fargo, North Dakota is an 18-hole public layout designed by Richard Phelps in 1992. This parkland course features four sets of tees, generous landing areas, large bentgrass greens, and challenging water and bunker placements. The facility offers a driving range, practice greens, and is accessible for players of all skill levels.
Caddie Tip
Accuracy is crucial at Rose Creek. With water or bunkers in play on nearly every hole and frequent out-of-bounds stakes, carefully select club off the tee to ensure you stay in play, especially on holes with risk-reward water carries. Take advantage of the generous landing areas when available, and focus on avoiding big numbers.
The Main Challenge
The biggest challenge at Rose Creek is navigating the numerous water hazards and well-placed bunkers—present on nearly every hole. Out-of-bounds comes into play on 14 holes, punishing wayward shots and requiring precise strategy, especially for players unfamiliar with the layout.
The Good
Golfers love Rose Creek's combination of well-kept bentgrass greens and the challenge of interesting water and bunker placements. The course balances playability for mid- and higher-handicappers with strategic tests that keep repeat rounds appealing, especially given the consistently excellent turf conditions.
The Not So Good
While generally praised for conditions, golfers occasionally mention that early morning moisture can affect green speed and bunker consistency. Some also note that the course pace can drag on busy weekends, and wish for more variety on certain inward holes.
