SBHE to Review Ray Richards Alterations


(KNOX) – The North Dakota Board of Higher Education is being asked to weigh in on the  reconstruction of Ray Richard’s Golf Course in Grand Forks.  The upgrades and deferred maintenance improvements are the result of the pending DeMers Avenue/42nd Street Underpass project.

UND sold 6.5 acres of the nine hole course to the North Dakota Department of Transportation for the grade separation. During the road construction the golf course will be realigned and reduced to a par 34 course.  UND will also address underground utilities and irrigation systems.  The total cost is around 4.5 million dollars.

The course will close for the 2026 and 2027 seasons.  The goal is to reopen in 2028.  SBHE is expected to approve the design at its April 30th meeting.

Crews are expected to begin preliminary work on the $90 million dollar underpass project this week.  The initial phase will have minimal impacts to traffic on both 42nd Street and DeMers Avenue.  Larger impacts are expected later this summer.
