Oak Hill Golf Club

Oak Hill Golf Club sits in the small community of Rice in central Minnesota, roughly an hour north of the Twin Cities. The course was designed by Jim Dahl, a Minnesota-based architect who has worked primarily in the Upper Midwest since the 1990s. Dahl's designs typically emphasize playability for a range of skill levels while incorporating the natural terrain and vegetation of their sites. The course occupies gently rolling terrain characteristic of the region, with mature trees framing many holes and water features coming into play on several. The layout reflects a traditional parkland style common to Minnesota courses built in this era, with tree-lined fairways, modest elevation changes, and greens that require thoughtful approach play. The design accommodates both member play and local competitive events typical of a community-oriented golf club. Oak Hill serves as a focal point for golf in the Rice area, offering a course that fits the scale and character of its small-town setting. The club provides a straightforward test of golf without excessive length or severe hazards, making it accessible to members and guests across different skill levels. The facility reflects the regional golf culture of Minnesota, where courses often balance challenge with playability and serve as gathering places for their communities.
