Stunning Minnesota Golf Course Is Now Among The Nation’s Best!

Is there anything better than spending a gorgeous day in Minnesota out on the golf course? Even if you're not a golfer, riding in the golf cart with a beer in hand - unbeatable.

With so many incredible spots to tee off, you could easily spend an entire season trying out new fairways without ever playing the same one twice. But one Minnesota golf course isn’t just a local favorite, it’s getting national recognition as one of the best in the entire country!

The best public golf courses are impeccably maintained, set amongst gorgeous scenery, and most importantly, are well-designed with challenging layouts and unique features that make for a rewarding round. These courses — nominated by an expert panel as the best public golf courses in the nation — fit that bill and beyond, with many even having hosted prestigious golf tournaments. - USA Today

If you’re looking for a must-play course, this Minnesota spot definitely belongs on your list.

Tucked into 285 acres of oak groves, open prairie, and marshlands, this par-70 course in Minnesota was created by course architect Arthur Hills. It’s been revered by golf critics and players, which is why it's hosted the United States Amateur Championship twice. - USA Today

Chaska Town Course was the only Minnesota course to snag a nomination. Over in Wisconsin, Mammoth Dunes at Sand Valley Golf Resort in Nekoosa also landed a well-earned spot.

David McLay Kidd designed this unique course where sprawling hillsides of exposed sands reflect its name. Some holes feel like you’re dodging one large bunker! Still, the average pace of play for this par-73 course tops out at 4 hours and 15 minutes after 8 a.m. - USA Today

Voting ended and the Top 10 will be announced soon. You can check out the list of nominees by clicking here.
