Minneapolis Golf Club is a premier golfing destination that has been in operation since 1916. Our historic course, designed by Willie Park Jr. and Donald Ross, is located just seven miles west of downtown Minneapolis. The course has been a favorite among golfers for generations, renowned for its exceptional playability, imaginative layout, and walkability. Through a comprehensive multi-million-dollar enhancement project completed in 2020, our course has been updated with state-of-the-art amenities, including new bent grass tees, fairways, and greens, a state-of-the-art irrigation system, and improved drainage systems on the greens. This balance of classic design integrity and modern improvements ensures an elite golfing experience for players of all ages and abilities.
