The best golf courses in Forest Lake, Minnesota

“Land movement is insane, and the work they’ve done recently to 14, 17, and 18 has helped a lot. 12 may be the best hole in the state. No shot is the same.”

“Improvements to the 3rd, 4th and 5th holes has helped, specifically restoring the Short template 5th on top of the hill with a view of downtown Minneapolis. A complete restoration would do it wonders, but still plenty of highlights here.”

“Fun routing with a lot of variety on holes, and some really cool shots. Consistently in good shape and keeps getting better with some tree removal and green expansions”

“A friend recently told me that T&C is his litmus test. If someone hates it (many do) then they’re just not on his intellectual level. And I agree!”

“Template greens make for interesting pins and fun approaches. The Short 4th, Eden 7th, Cape 8th, Biarritz 12th, and Alps 14th are the highlights, but the rest are no slouches either”

“Plays extremely fast, can get the greens rolling at a 13 any day they want to. Conditions are always great and a really good variety of holes (16 sucks but whatever). Best public in the metro and if you can catch it at less than $100, it’s a good to great value.”

“Great course, good condition for early in the year. Front is mostly right in front of you then the back demands some shot making. Held back by atrocious pace of play.”

“Yes, this is a bottom tier PGA tour event because of this golf course. It’s in a bit of suburban hell, lots of uninspired looks and holes throughout. However, there’s a few holes that are good to great and I think it’s a little underrated.”

“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.”

“The ultimate shoulder season course. If you need a course with relatively decent conditions that is open a week after snow leaves the ground and deep into November you find Loggers. A bit quirky but a fun routing.”

“One of my favorite munis in MSP area. Always in great shapes and even though there’s some similarities between many holes they all play a lot differently. Especially in different winds, and it’s really fun to play in high winds.”

“Players have been losing balls here since the inaugural tee shot. Fun course with some great views. Conditions can be hit or miss. Only course I’ve walked off mid round due to slow play. With some investment, I think Teddy could become an awesome place. Great land. Great views.”
