About this course

Gross National Golf Club sits in the northern suburbs of Minneapolis, offering a daily-fee facility that has served the Twin Cities golf community since the mid-1990s. The course was designed by Joel Goldstrand, a Minnesota-based architect who has shaped numerous layouts across the Upper Midwest. The property occupies gently rolling terrain characteristic of the region, with mature tree lines framing many holes and several water features integrated into the routing. The layout plays across varied topography that creates natural elevation changes and strategic interest throughout the round. The design incorporates risk-reward opportunities on several holes, where players must weigh aggressive lines against more conservative approaches. Water comes into play on multiple holes, and the bunkering scheme emphasizes both visual definition and strategic placement around greens and landing areas. Gross National operates as an accessible public facility in a market known for its strong golf culture and competitive daily-fee options. The course serves a range of players from casual weekend golfers to more dedicated regulars who appreciate the conditioning standards and playability the facility maintains. The clubhouse provides standard amenities typical of upper-tier public courses in the region, supporting both individual play and group outings that form a significant part of the operation during Minnesota's concentrated golf season.

Getting there

Most visitors to Gross National Golf Club arrive through Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport (MSP), a major hub positioned roughly thirty minutes northwest of the course. The drive traces the southern arc of the Twin Cities metro, slipping past suburban sprawl before easing into the quieter, rolling farmland and wooded pockets of Dakota County. As the landscape opens and softens, the final turn delivers you to one of the Midwest's most thoughtfully concealed modern designs - a club that reveals itself only to those who've made the deliberate choice to seek it out.
