About this course

Rush Creek Golf Club opened in 1996 in Maple Grove, a northwestern suburb of Minneapolis. The course was designed by Bob Cupp and John Fought, both of whom worked extensively with Jack Nicklaus earlier in their careers before establishing independent practices. The property represents one of the more ambitious daily-fee projects built in the Twin Cities metro area during the 1990s golf boom. The routing occupies rolling terrain with significant elevation changes uncommon for the region, incorporating natural wetlands, mature hardwood stands, and several creeks that influence play on multiple holes. Cupp and Fought shaped generous fairway corridors but protected greens with substantial bunkering and strategic mounding characteristic of their design philosophy. The course stretches over 7,000 yards from the back tees, with multiple teeing grounds accommodating different skill levels. Rush Creek operates as a public facility and has hosted various Minnesota Golf Association championships and regional amateur events over the years. The layout's length and conditioning standards have made it a popular venue for competitive play in the state. The property includes a full practice facility and clubhouse amenities typical of upscale daily-fee operations. The course sits within a developed suburban area but maintains a relatively secluded feel through tree corridors and thoughtful routing that limits residential intrusion on most holes. It remains one of the higher-profile public-access courses in the Minneapolis market.

Getting there

Rush Creek Golf Club lies in the northwest suburbs of Minneapolis, a straightforward half-hour drive from Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport along Interstate 94 and 494. The route traces the outer arc of the Twin Cities metro, passing through commercial corridors before yielding to the quieter residential expanse of Maple Grove. As the highway gives way to local roads, the landscape opens into rolling Minnesota prairie, and the clubhouse emerges amid native grasses and wetlands - a modern, understated arrival that signals the thoughtful design awaiting within.
