Oak Glen Country Club's Executive Course sits in Stillwater, Minnesota, a historic river town along the St. Croix River in the eastern Twin Cities metro area. Designed by Don Herfort, a regional architect active in Minnesota and Wisconsin during the mid-to-late twentieth century, the course serves as a shorter complement to the club's main layout. Executive courses typically feature a mix of par threes and shorter par fours, offering members and guests a quicker round while still requiring thoughtful shot-making and short game skills. The terrain in this part of the St. Croix Valley features rolling wooded hills and natural wetlands characteristic of the transition zone between prairie and northern hardwood forest. Courses in the area often incorporate mature oak and maple stands, elevation changes, and seasonal water features. Herfort's design work in the region generally emphasized playability and integration with existing landforms rather than dramatic earthmoving or severe hazards. Executive courses at private clubs often serve multiple purposes: they provide an option for twilight play, accommodate junior programs and beginners, and offer experienced players a venue for practice rounds or casual matches. At Oak Glen, the shorter layout complements the club's broader recreational offerings while maintaining the same membership and grounds standards as the primary course. The executive format allows members to experience the property's natural setting in a more compact timeframe, particularly during Minnesota's relatively brief golf season.
