Minneapolis Golf Club

Detailed description of Minneapolis Golf Club

Minneapolis Golf Club, is a Private, 18 hole golf course located in Minneapolis, Minnesota.

Minneapolis Golf Club first opened for play in 1916. The course was designed by Willie Park, Jr. In 1920 Donald Ross, revised the routing.

This traditional course was built on rolling terrain, and its slightly undulating greens are fast.  The tree-lined fairways are average width and bordered by very deep rough.  If you miss the fairway with your tee shots, the tall rough will cause you problems. 

#10 is one of the most memorable holes.  At 225 yards, over a pond, with out of bounds on the left, trees on the right, and bunkers on both sides of the green, it is widely recognized as the most difficult par three in the Twin Cities.  

Par for the course is 72. From the back tees the course plays to 6,882 yards. From the forward tees the course measures 6,261 yards. The longest hole on the course is # 3, a par-5 that plays to 562 yards. The shortest hole on the course is # 4, a par-3 that plays to 140 yards from the back tees.

Watch out for # 7, a 452 yard par-4 challenge and the #1 handicap hole on the course. The easiest hole is # 12, a 488 yard par-5.
