A
new year means the opportunity to set goals and create lists for your golfing
bucket list. After filling up hometown tee sheets the last two years, golfers are looking to hit the road to enjoy one of life’s simple pleasures — a golf trip. Minnesota has long been a popular vacation spot and continues to be a trip of choice for golfers looking for top-quality, but attractively priced, places to play.
The State Of Golf The Wilderness at Fortune Bay • Tower, Minn.
Did you know Minnesota is the only state to have hosted all 13 USGA championships, the PGA Championship, Women's PGA Championship, Walker Cup, Curtis Cup, Solheim Cup and, of course, the Ryder Cup in 2016 at Hazeltine Golf Club, to where golf’s most exciting team competition returns in 2028.
Quality + Variety + Value = Your Bucket List The overall quality of golf in Minnesota is unparalleled. The Minnesota golf landscape constitutes a hall of fame of award-winning courses. The variety of Minnesota courses is a result of Mother Nature’s artistry and the talent of some of golf’s greatest architects. True value is a major attribute of golf in Minnesota with green fees lower than in other golf hotbeds.
An Invitation We’re excited to invite you to our wonderful state. It’s time to start planning your 2022 golf trip to play the great Minnesota courses. Visit Minnesota — the STATE of GOLF at ExploreMinnesotaGolf.com and StateofGolf.com.
