Golf in Minnesota

From city and suburban courses to rugged forests and sweeping river valleys, Minnesota offers some of the country's top spots for golf. 

Three even landed on Golf Digest's greatest public courses list: The Quarry at Giants Ridge in Biwabik, The Wilderness at Fortune Bay in Tower, and The Classic at Madden's Resort in Brainerd.

Travel to any corner of the state, though, and you will find a proving ground for your game and otherworldly views that wouldn't look out of place on a postcard.
