Overview
Beowulf is seeking an experienced turfgrass professional to lead the maintenance operation of its 18-hole golf course in Minot ND.
After massive flooding destroyed the old Minot Country Club in 2011, the club was moved to a new location in the coulee areas south of Minot. It Reopened in 2015 as Minot Country Club. MCC struggled due to an excessive amount of debt and never really achieved its full potential. A new ownership group has purchased the club and has rebranded it as Beowulf, bringing much needed stability and leadership to the operation.
Beowulf is a semiprivate golf course designed by Jim Engh. The club features an 18-hole golf course, and a modern clubhouse with a high-end restaurant which is open to the public. The course has received a decent amount of positive press from various golf media and is included on several “best” lists. The golf course features a PVC RainBird IC irrigation system with Watertronics Pump Station, Foley Grinders, as well as a modern Toro equipment fleet. The grassing plan consists of T-1 bentgrass greens (0.00% poa) on California Construction and low mow bluegrass/CSI Rye roughs and fairways. There are only 3 trees in play on the golf course.
Minot is a great Mid-western city of 50,000 that has enjoyed substantial growth and improvements during the Bakken Oil Boom. Candidates who enjoy hunting, fishing, lake life, and hockey will be well suited to life in Minot. There is plenty of affordable housing, good schools, and plenty of opportunities for spouses to find employment.

Beowulf is a total rebrand of the golf course formerly known as Minot Country Club, In the search for a name, we wanted to honor the sacrifice of past leadership and entice tourists to explore this incredible jewel that is nestled in the Bluff’s neighborhood.
This name is a tribute to the visionaries that organized the original club in 1928, restored the grounds following the flood of 1969, and embarked on the monumental task to relocate the course following the devastating 2011 flood. Their courage and leadership displayed in the face of incredible adversity will live-on at Beowulf.
Members and guests will experience our beautiful, meticulously maintained golf course with a completely new restaurant and golf program for 2025.
