About Tom O'Leary Golf Course

Tom O'Leary is the short course in Bismarck's parks system: 18 holes, par 69, 5,515 yards from the gold tees, with mature trees, wide-open fairways and good views. It sits in a larger recreation area in the middle of town. With tees down to 2,519 yards, it's a good place to bring a new golfer.

It started as a nine-hole course called Bismarck Municipal. In June 1969 it was renamed for Tom O'Leary (1882-1971), a Bismarck native who became the first golf pro at the Bismarck Country Club in 1913. It grew to 18 holes through improvements that began with the park board's 1986 master plan.

There are two putting and chipping greens and a practice area you can use free with your own balls, plus on-course food and drink (no outside food or beverages).
