About this course

Midland Hills Country Club, nestled in the rolling landscape north of St. Paul, is where Minnesota golf subtly shifts from Midwest farmland to something altogether more intriguing. This classic parkland course, dating back to the 1920s, presents a deceptively gentle challenge, rewarding thoughtful strategy over brute force. A number of holes dogleg left and right - forcing you to hit different types of shot - while many are also tree-lined. Designed by famed architect, William Watson, Midland Hills saw a masterful restoration by Ron Forse, respecting Watson's original intent while subtly modernizing the playing experience. The layout unfolds across diverse terrain, with elevation changes and strategic bunkering that dictate a considered approach. While Midland Hills may not hold a place on the global stage, its enduring appeal rests within its vibrant membership and commitment to preserving a classic golf experience. The club has a very active mens league that is popular with its members, and the club has an exceptional tennis facility that's quite busy.

Getting there

Midland Hills Country Club sits just minutes from Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport (MSP), making the approach to this storied Twin Cities institution remarkably direct - a swift drive southeast through the urban envelope before the landscape softens into the rolling, wooded terrain of St. Paul's most exclusive neighborhoods. For those arriving by private aircraft, the region's several regional hubs, including St. Paul Downtown Airport (STP), offer convenient alternatives that compress the final leg into a matter of minutes. The last stretch winds through tree-lined residential streets that speak to the club's deep roots in Minnesota's golfing heritage, arriving at a sanctuary that has anchored the region's competitive golf culture since the early twentieth century.
