About this course
Como Park Golf Course sits within Como Park, a large public park in St. Paul, Minnesota. The course was designed by Don Herfort and opened in 1930, making it one of the city's established municipal facilities. The park itself has served as a recreational hub for St. Paul residents for over a century, and the golf course occupies rolling terrain within this urban green space. The layout plays across modest elevation changes typical of the region's glacially-shaped landscape. Mature trees line many fairways, and the course features small greens that reward accuracy over distance. As a municipal course from the Depression era, Como Park was designed to be accessible and walkable, with a straightforward routing that keeps pace of play moving. The property borders residential neighborhoods and other park amenities, including Como Lake and the Como Park Zoo and Conservatory. Como Park serves as an entry point for beginning golfers and a regular venue for St. Paul residents seeking convenient, affordable golf. The course hosts local leagues and junior programs throughout the season. While it lacks the length and difficulty of championship layouts, the design provides a functional test of short game and course management within the constraints of its urban parkland setting.

Getting there
Como Golf Course sits within the urban embrace of St. Paul, accessible most directly via Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport (MSP), a major hub located roughly twenty minutes southwest of the property by car. The drive from MSP traces through the Twin Cities' tree-lined corridors, transitioning from highway commerce into the quieter, park-adjacent neighborhoods that define this historic corner of the city. For those seeking private aviation, St. Paul Downtown Airport (STP) offers a closer alternative, mere minutes from Como Golf Course itself, allowing for a swift and discreet arrival. The final approach winds through the verdant grounds of Como Park, where mature oaks and maples frame the entrance to a course that has quietly anchored Minnesota golf for over a century.
