Roll north on 78 from there along the lake's eastern shore to the town of Ottertail to find Thumper Pond Resort & Golf Course. Ottertail County hosted the 2021 Governor's Fishing Opener, including reception and Media Row for the event. Pro Andrew Martinson also mentions that the course is home to the Ottertail Central High School Boys and Girls golf teams. Ninety thousand Red Pines were cleared to make room for this popular course designed by Erik Niskanen. The setting also includes a large practice range and short game area and two putting greens. It's impeccably shaped and manicured, with tree-lined fairways, water in play and neat flora displays establishing the setting for some beefy golf; i.e. 72.5/138 from the gold tees, and a 501-yard par-five finishing hole. If you're spending a week at the resort or cabin, there's a 7-day membership available, and juniors under 12 play free after 3 p.m. with a paid adult. The resort has 78 suite rooms, an indoor water park and a spa in the forest and comments laud the customer service. All things considered, I-94 and the Red River Valley go well together.
