Windsong Farm Golf Club


About this course
Windsong Farm, carved into the rolling farmland west of Minneapolis, is as much a testament to Midwestern tenacity as it is to championship golf. D.A. Weibring’s design, reflective of a Modern aesthetic with its sculpted bunkering and strategic mounding, subtly belies the challenge that awaits. It's a course where power can be rewarded, but rarely without the thoughtful navigation of deceptive doglegs and greens that subtly break toward the surrounding countryside. It rewards the player who considers the approach and execution of their shots. Weibring and Steve Wolfard crafted a layout that requires intelligent play but is not necessarily punishing. Windsong asks players to engage with the landscape, not simply conquer it with brute force. While it has not hosted a major championship, the course has been a consistent proving ground for top amateurs in the region, drawing a membership that appreciates both the challenge and the camaraderie found within its fairways. The social fabric of Windsong is further enhanced by the understated elegance of the clubhouse, where members, a mix of local business leaders and passionate golfers, gather to discuss the day's rounds. While no single dish dominates the culinary conversation, the consistent quality of the fare mirrors the club’s commitment to an experience that's both refined and genuinely welcoming. Windsong Farm offers an escape from the city's hustle, a place where the pursuit of a lower score is secondary to the enjoyment of the game and the company.

Getting there
The journey to Windsong Farm Golf Club begins at Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport, roughly forty minutes east of this secluded Maple Plain sanctuary. The drive west traces the gradual transition from urban Twin Cities sprawl to the rolling farmland and hardwood forests of the Lake Minnetonka region, where development yields to open pasture and quiet country roads. Those arriving by private aircraft can utilize Flying Cloud Airport in Eden Prairie, trimming the approach to a brief fifteen-minute passage through Minnesota's pastoral lake country. The final turn onto the property feels less like arrival at a golf club than discovery of a working farm that happens to harbor one of the state's most thoughtfully concealed courses.
