About this course

Bemidji Town & Country Club sits in north-central Minnesota, where the town of Bemidji serves as a gateway to the state's lake country and northern forests. The course was designed by Kevin Norby, a Minnesota-based architect who has worked on numerous layouts across the Upper Midwest. The routing takes advantage of the region's characteristic terrain, with gentle elevation changes and mature tree growth framing many holes. The natural landscape provides a wooded, parkland character typical of northern Minnesota golf courses. The design reflects the practical considerations of golf in this climate zone, where the playing season runs from late spring through early fall and courses must balance playability for a range of skill levels with enough challenge to maintain member interest. The layout likely incorporates the area's natural features—stands of pine and hardwood, modest topographical movement, and possibly water elements that are common in this lake-rich region. Bemidji Town & Country Club functions as a traditional community golf facility, serving both local members and visitors exploring Minnesota's northern recreational corridor. The club provides a home course for area golfers while also welcoming those traveling through a region better known for its fishing and outdoor activities than its golf. The course offers a straightforward test of golf in a setting that emphasizes the natural beauty of Minnesota's northwoods environment.

Getting there

Bemidji Town & Country Club sits in the heart of Minnesota's lake country, most readily accessed via Bemidji Regional Airport (BJI), which welcomes regional and charter flights just minutes from the clubhouse, or alternatively through a three-to-four-hour drive north from Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport (MSP) across gently rolling terrain that gradually transitions from urban sprawl to dense boreal forest and pristine shoreline. The final stretch carries you through Bemidji's quiet downtown and into the wooded sanctuary where the club's fairways unfold along the shores of Lake Bemidji, the landscape itself a testament to the region's unspoiled character. For those seeking the full immersion into northern Minnesota's natural rhythm, the journey itself - whether by regional hop or scenic highway - becomes an essential part of arriving at this understated gem where forest, water, and championship golf converge.
