Oneka Ridge Golf Course

Oneka Ridge Golf Course sits in White Bear Lake, Minnesota, a suburban community northeast of the Twin Cities known for its namesake lake and recreational amenities. The course was designed by Wren Belland, a Minnesota-based architect who has worked on several projects throughout the Upper Midwest. The layout reflects the rolling terrain characteristic of the region's glacial topography, with elevation changes and wooded corridors that frame many holes. The course serves the local golfing community in the White Bear Lake area, offering a public facility that accommodates both regular play and outings. The routing takes advantage of the natural landforms, with holes that move through stands of mature trees and across varied ground that creates visual interest and strategic considerations off the tee and into greens. Water features and bunkers are incorporated into the design to add challenge appropriate to the site. Oneka Ridge operates as a daily-fee facility, typical of many municipal and public courses in Minnesota's competitive golf market. The course provides a straightforward test for area golfers without the extensive conditioning or tournament pedigree of championship venues, but it benefits from the natural beauty of the White Bear Lake setting. Seasonal play runs from spring through fall, following the patterns of golf in the northern climate.
