About this course

Minneapolis Golf Club is hallowed ground for Twin Cities golf, a place where generations of Minnesotans have tested their mettle against a deceptively challenging layout. Carved into the rolling parkland of St. Louis Park, the course favors a strategic approach; its tree-lined fairways and subtly undulating greens demand thoughtful club selection and precise execution. While it doesn't punish wayward drives with unplayable hazards, the placement of bunkers and mature trees ensures that even slightly errant shots will leave players facing demanding recovery attempts. Originally designed by Willie Park Jr. during golf's burgeoning American era, Minneapolis Golf Club has undergone subtle refinements over the years. The course demands the kind of shot-making that has long been a staple of Midwest golf. The subtle doglegs, the slightly elevated greens, and the ever-present wind make for a course that requires both power and finesse. While Minneapolis Golf Club may not host major championships on a national stage, its true value lies in its vibrant membership and deep-rooted history within the local golf community. The club's lore is rich with stories of hard-fought matches and legendary rounds, cementing its place as a cherished institution in the Twin Cities golf landscape. The clubhouse is also known for their walleye sandwich - a long-standing favorite of its members that is held as the best in the state.

Getting there

Most visitors arrive via Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport, a major Delta hub located roughly twenty minutes southeast of the club by car. The route northwest traces the edge of the city's chain of lakes before slipping into the leafy, residential enclave of St. Louis Park, where Minneapolis Golf Club has occupied its discreet, parkland setting since 1916. The final turn off Highway 100 reveals little fanfare - just a quiet entrance that speaks to the club's enduring preference for understated elegance over public proclamation, a posture befitting one of the Twin Cities' most storied and private golfing grounds.
