The Minot Park District announces Cammi Campbell has been appointed Souris Valley Golf Course superintendent, according to a news release.

Since joining the park district in 2010, Campbell has served in various capacities, including greenskeeper, assistant superintendent at the golf course and most recently, as a horticultural technician.

She has degrees in horticulture turf management, horticulture-landscape design and urban forestry technology, along with a certificate in Golf Course Grounds Technology. In addition to her academic qualifications, Campbell has been an active member of the North Central Turf Grass Association Board of Directors since 2016, serving as president for four years.

Campbell will succeed Mike Chrest, who is retiring this fall after a 39-year career with the park district. Chrest started with the district part time at 19 years old, mowing fairways, and has since become a driving force behind the care and development of the golf course.

“We are incredibly grateful for the legacy Mike has built over the past 39 years and look forward to seeing Cammi continue that tradition while bringing her vision and expertise to Souris Valley,” said Elly DesLauriers, executive director of Minot Park District. “Her passion, knowledge, and leadership will be instrumental in maintaining and enhancing our beautiful course.”
