Thank You North Dakota Petroleum Foundation

Bully Pulpit Golf Course is a rare golfing experience. Tee shots from Badlands butte to Badlands butte will take your breath away. But when you look deeper, you will find more to take your breath away. Take the front nine. When you play those holes, you are playing on top of a producing oil field! Years ago, workers installed operating wells and submersible pumps. They created pads and roads and designed them to blend in with the surrounding area.

This is an astounding feat of engineering – a commitment to steward and conserve the natural splendor of these Badlands. It is also a testament to the skill of the women and men working in North Dakota’s oil and gas industry; an industry that employs thousands and generates billions in economic impact. The North Dakota Petroleum Foundation’s gift to the Legacy Bully Pulpit campaign will ensure that Bully Pulpit Golf Course will continue to connect thousands of guests each summer to positive, life-changing experiences in Medora.
