Cimarron Golf at Cimarron Golf Course

Cimarron Golf Course sits in Lake Elmo, a suburban community in the eastern Twin Cities metropolitan area of Minnesota, approximately fifteen miles east of downtown Saint Paul. The course was designed by Don Herfort, a Minnesota-based architect who has worked on several layouts in the Upper Midwest. The facility operates as a public daily-fee course serving the Washington County area and the broader metro region.

The property occupies rolling terrain characteristic of the glacially influenced landscape of eastern Minnesota, with mature tree cover and natural elevation changes that provide variety throughout the routing. The design incorporates the existing topography to create holes that move through wooded corridors and across more open areas, offering a mix of strategic challenges for golfers at different skill levels. Water features appear on several holes, reflecting the region's abundance of lakes and wetlands.

As a public facility in a growing suburban area, Cimarron serves a diverse range of golfers, from local residents seeking convenient access to the game to visitors exploring courses in the Twin Cities region. The course provides a straightforward golf experience focused on playability and conditioning rather than championship-level difficulty. Its location in Lake Elmo places it within a cluster of golf options in Washington County, contributing to the area's recreational infrastructure for a population that supports year-round outdoor activities despite Minnesota's seasonal climate.
