Keller Golf Course


About this course
Keller Golf Course sits in Maplewood, a first-ring suburb immediately east of Saint Paul, Minnesota. Designed by Paul N. Coates and opened in 1929, the course was developed during the golden age of American golf course architecture and has served the Twin Cities metropolitan area for nearly a century. The property takes its name from the Keller family, who owned the land before it was transformed into a public golf facility. The course operates as a municipal layout and has long been accessible to a broad range of golfers in the region. The routing occupies rolling terrain typical of the upper Midwest, with mature tree-lined fairways and modest elevation changes that add character to the holes. Coates incorporated natural features into the design, and the course has undergone periodic updates and maintenance improvements over the decades to preserve playability while respecting the original layout. The property provides a traditional parkland experience with tree corridors defining many holes and greens that require thoughtful approach play. Keller has hosted competitive golf over the years, including Minnesota state amateur events and regional tournaments, reflecting its standing as a solid test of golf within the state's public course network. The facility includes practice areas and a clubhouse that serves daily-fee players and local golfers. Its location within the Twin Cities makes it a convenient option for residents seeking an established course with historical roots in the community.
