Pheasant Acres Golf Course



About this course
Pheasant Acres Golf Course sits in Rogers, Minnesota, a northwest suburb of the Twin Cities metropolitan area. Designed by Lyle Johansen and opened in the mid-1960s, the course represents a period when golf development expanded rapidly across suburban Minnesota to meet growing demand from the region's recreational players. Johansen, a Minnesota-based architect, designed several courses throughout the state during this era, typically working with the rolling glacial terrain characteristic of the upper Midwest. The layout occupies land that transitions between agricultural fields and wooded areas, a common setting in this part of Minnesota. The routing likely incorporates modest elevation changes and natural drainage patterns typical of the region's glacial topography. Mature trees frame many holes, and seasonal wetlands or ponds may come into play on select holes, reflecting the area's prairie pothole geography. Pheasant Acres functions as a public facility serving Rogers and the surrounding communities. The course provides accessible golf for residents and visitors in a region where public courses accommodate the majority of play. The setting offers views across open Minnesota farmland, with the course itself serving as a green corridor within an area that has seen considerable residential and commercial growth over recent decades as the Twin Cities metro has expanded northward.

Getting there
The journey to Pheasant Acres Golf Course begins at Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport, roughly thirty miles to the southeast, where the Twin Cities' main commercial hub offers connections from across the globe. From there, a straightforward forty-minute drive northwest along I-94 and Highway 101 carries you through the gradual transition from urban sprawl to the gently rolling farmland and lake-dotted terrain of the western Twin Cities exurbs. The final approach into Rogers reveals a landscape of open prairie and scattered woodlands, where Pheasant Acres sits quietly amid the agricultural patchwork of Hennepin County - a understated retreat where the metro's hum fades into the rustle of native grasses and the calls of its namesake birds.
