Getting there

The drive from Minneapolis-Saint Paul International (MSP), roughly ninety minutes to the northwest, carries you through the rolling farmland and modest bluffs of southeastern Minnesota, a landscape that shifts gradually from urban periphery to the quieter, more measured rhythm of the region's medical and agricultural heritage. Private aviation options at RST provide a seamless alternative for those seeking discretion and convenience. The final miles into Eastwood unfold along tree-lined local roads that speak to the club's deeply rooted place in Rochester's community - a setting where accessibility and understated elegance converge.
