Bobcat North Dakota Open Crowns 2026 Winners, Raises Money for Local Nonprofit
Top regional professionals and amateurs recently flocked to Rose Creek Golf Course for the 62nd annual Bobcat North Dakota Open. The event supported The Village Family Service Center, a local nonprofit that provides counseling, addiction recovery, mentoring and other essential services to children and families throughout the region.
“When people come together with a shared purpose, they can accomplish more,” said Brad Claus, senior vice president, construction products, Bobcat Company. “The Bobcat North Dakota Open continues to make a meaningful difference by supporting The Village and the important services it provides to individuals and families across our region.”

As of 2026, the Dakotas Tour has partnered with the Asher Golf Tour in hopes of strengthening the professional participation and continued growth of competitive golf in the region.
