East at Bunker Hills Golf Club

The East Course at Bunker Hills Golf Club in Coon Rapids, a northern suburb of Minneapolis, was designed by David Gill and Joel Goldstrand as part of a municipal facility that serves the Twin Cities metropolitan area. The course opened in the mid-1960s as one of two eighteen-hole layouts at the property, which was developed by Anoka County to provide accessible public golf to the region. The design reflects the era's approach to municipal golf, with straightforward routing across gently rolling terrain typical of the Minnesota landscape.

The layout plays through a mix of open and tree-lined corridors, with mature hardwoods and pines framing many holes. The course features modest elevation changes and several water hazards that come into play on multiple holes, adding strategic interest to what is primarily a parkland design. Bunkers are distributed throughout, though not in the severe quantities the club's name might suggest. The conditioning and playability make it suitable for a wide range of skill levels, consistent with its public mission.

Bunker Hills has long been a fixture in the local golf community, hosting numerous amateur events and serving as a popular venue for league play and casual rounds. The facility includes a driving range and practice areas, and the clubhouse provides standard amenities for daily-fee players. The East Course remains a straightforward, affordable option for golfers in the northern Twin Cities suburbs seeking a traditional parkland experience without significant travel.
