Lakeview National sits along the North Shore of Lake Superior near Two Harbors, Minnesota, designed by Garrett Gill and George B. Williams. The course occupies rugged terrain characteristic of this region, where the landscape transitions between dense northern forest and the dramatic shoreline topography that defines Minnesota's most distinctive golfing ground. The routing takes advantage of significant elevation changes and natural rock outcroppings common to the area's ancient volcanic geology. The design works within the constraints and opportunities of the Lake Superior basin, where players encounter holes shaped by the region's boreal forest character—stands of birch, pine, and spruce frame fairways that move across uneven, rock-studded land. The course reflects a modern approach to routing through challenging natural terrain, asking golfers to navigate slopes and carries that reveal the property's connection to the broader North Shore landscape. Two Harbors itself remains a small lakeside community with deep roots in iron ore shipping and Great Lakes maritime history. The course serves both local members and traveling golfers drawn to the region's scenic appeal, particularly during summer and early fall when northern Minnesota's climate allows for comfortable play. Lakeview National represents a relatively recent addition to Minnesota's golf inventory, offering a northwoods experience distinct from the state's more established courses in the Twin Cities and southern regions.
