Town & Country Club


About this course
Town & Country Club sits in the western suburbs of St. Paul, Minnesota, and traces its origins to the early twentieth century. The course was designed by George McRee and Willie Watson, figures associated with the formative era of Minnesota golf. The layout occupies rolling terrain characteristic of the region, with mature tree-lined fairways and modest elevation changes that provide natural definition and strategic interest throughout the round. The club has long been a fixture in the Twin Cities golf community, maintaining a traditional private club atmosphere and a membership rooted in the St. Paul area. Its routing takes advantage of the property's wooded character, with holes that move through corridors of hardwoods and require thoughtful navigation rather than overwhelming length. The design reflects the strategic principles of its era, rewarding accuracy and course management over pure distance. Town & Country has hosted various regional amateur competitions over the decades, contributing to Minnesota's rich golf tradition. The club's facilities and dining offerings support the social dimension typical of established private clubs in the Midwest, where golf is woven into a broader community experience. The course remains a respected layout among Minnesota golfers, valued for its playability, conditioning, and the quiet, wooded setting that distinguishes it from more open prairie-style designs found elsewhere in the state.

Getting there
The journey to Town & Country Club begins at Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport (MSP), Minnesota's primary hub, situated roughly twenty minutes northwest of the club's St. Paul address via I-494 and local arterials. For those arriving by private aircraft, the Minneapolis area is well-served by several fixed-base operators, though MSP itself accommodates business aviation seamlessly. The final approach winds through the leafy residential neighborhoods of St. Paul's east side, where tree-lined streets and the gentle topography of the Mississippi River valley frame your arrival at this storied private enclave, one of the Upper Midwest's most distinguished golf and social institutions.
