About this course

Brookview Golf Course's Par-3 layout occupies a compact site in Golden Valley, a first-ring suburb immediately west of Minneapolis. The facility operates as a municipal course within the Three Rivers Park District system, serving the northwest metro area with accessible golf in a densely developed residential setting. The property sits on gently rolling terrain typical of the region's glacial topography, with mature trees framing many holes and providing definition between playing corridors. The Par-3 course functions primarily as an executive layout for beginners, juniors, and players seeking quick rounds or short-game practice. Holes vary in length to provide different club selections, though none extend beyond typical Par-3 distances. The routing makes efficient use of limited acreage, with holes playing in multiple directions across modest elevation changes. Greens are relatively small and straightforward, appropriate for the course's instructional and recreational mission. Brookview serves as an entry point to the game for many Twin Cities residents and accommodates league play, lessons, and casual rounds throughout the season. The facility includes a full-length regulation course on the same property, along with practice areas and a clubhouse. The Par-3 layout complements the longer course by offering a less intimidating option for developing players and a convenient alternative when time is limited. Winter operations include cross-country skiing and other cold-weather recreation on the grounds.
