Executive (Alternate Tees) Course
Bunker Hills Golf Club
About this course
Bunker Hills Golf Club operates as a municipal facility in Coon Rapids, a northern suburb of Minneapolis. The property offers multiple playing options, including this Executive course that utilizes alternate tees to create a shorter layout suitable for beginners, juniors, and golfers seeking a quicker round. Joel Goldstrand, a Minnesota-based architect active in the latter half of the twentieth century, designed the course. Goldstrand worked extensively throughout the Upper Midwest, creating practical, playable designs for public facilities. The Executive routing takes advantage of the property's natural terrain, which reflects the gently rolling topography characteristic of the Anoka Sand Plain region. This geological area features sandy soils and scattered mature trees, conditions that provide good drainage and allow for year-round conditioning typical of Minnesota municipal courses. The alternate tee configuration shortens distances significantly, emphasizing accuracy and short-game skills over length. As a public facility, Bunker Hills serves a broad cross-section of Twin Cities golfers. The Executive course functions as an accessible entry point to the game and a practice venue for experienced players working on specific aspects of their game. The club's municipal status means it operates without membership requirements, offering tee times to all players on a daily-fee basis. The facility reflects the Minnesota tradition of public golf accessibility, providing affordable options in a metropolitan area with strong participation rates in the sport.

Getting there
Bunker Hills Golf Club sits just twenty minutes north of Minneapolis-Saint Paul International Airport (MSP), making the approach refreshingly direct for a club of its caliber. From MSP, the drive traces a gentle arc through the suburban landscape before transitioning into the rolling terrain of Anoka County, where the club's distinctive bunker-studded topography begins to announce itself along the tree-lined approach roads. Private aviation is equally accessible via nearby Flying Cloud Airport (FCM) or the more robust facilities at Minneapolis-Saint Paul International's general aviation terminals, both offering seamless connections to this meticulously maintained sanctuary just beyond the Twin Cities' northern edge. The final miles unfold through a quieter corridor of mature oaks and maples, delivering you to Bunker Hills with the unhurried ease that defines golf in the Upper Midwest.
