Victory Links Course
Blaine, MN, USA




Victory Links, straddling the line between a demanding championship layout and accessible public golf, pays homage to the storied traditions of the game while carving its own niche north of Minneapolis. The course is named after the City of Victory, the original name of Blaine, MN Built in the late 1990s, the Modern design presents an open, links-style challenge with generous fairways framed by native grasses.

The course is noted for its playability and value. Victory Links serves primarily as a community course, offering programs and facilities geared towards growing the game among youth and providing an affordable golf option for residents of the surrounding area. The facility prioritizes accessibility and inclusivity, fostering a welcoming environment for golfers of all skill levels. While not a tournament venue of national significance, Victory Links contributes to the local golf scene by hosting amateur events and serving as a training ground for aspiring players in the northern suburbs. Its enduring appeal lies in its commitment to providing quality golf at a reasonable price, making the game accessible to a wide audience.

Golfers praise Victory Links for its exceptional conditioning, particularly the greens, which reviewers say are among the best found on an affordable public course. Most appreciate the solid architecture and good value, with some calling it an underrated gem that delivers quality golf at a reasonable price. However, nearly all reviews criticize the routing as problematic, citing long walks between holes—including a quarter-mile trek from the 17th to 18th—awkward transitions under a bridge, and back-to-back par 3s in the same direction that make walking the course frustrating. Despite these layout quirks, golfers generally find the individual holes worthwhile and the overall difficulty appropriate, though the routing issues are significant enough to deter some from returning frequently.

Always in phenomenal shape. Won’t find better greens on a public/affordable course. Fairly difficult. The routing between a few holes is wonky/long, but overall a great course.
Terms like underrated and hidden gem get thrown around too casually. Victory Links deserves them. A rare modern public course that offers good architecture, great conditions, and affordability. Routing makes for a terrible walk.
This is possibly the dumbest routing I have ever played. Under a bridge across Radisson Blvd to the 1st tee box, back to back identical par 3s in the same direction. Long ass walks between multiple holes, and the kicker of a quarter mile walk from 17 to 18. There’s some good holes here and it’s generally in great shape, but it’s so rare that I play it because of its affront to walkers everywhere
