A Conversation for Great Golf Courses
Portal/North Portal Golf Course
Barneys Bucksaws Started conversation Jan 16, 2003
This is a 9-hole golf course in North Portal, Saskatchewan and Portal, North Dakota. The first 8 holes are in North Portal, and the 9th hole and club house are in Portal.
A ball hit to the 9th hole takes an hour to land. The reason is, Saskatchewan doesn't go on Daylight Saving Time, but North Dakota does. So, if you hit a ball, for example at 8:00pm, its 9:00pm when it lands on the 9th green. There is no visible border crossing, just a gravel road, so you can buy American or Canadian beer and cigarettes at the golf club.
One night a week is Men's night - Golf and steak for a reduced price, and the women get the same deal another night. Membership is really inexpensive. Being in a small town, people drive their golf carts from all over town to go to the course.
