Elk River Country Club

Detailed description of Elk River Country Club

Elk River Country Club is a Semi-Private, 18 hole golf course located in Elk River, Minnesota.

Bill Kit designed this course which opened in 1960.

This course sits on rolling hills. There are a few sand bunkers on the course, and a creek that flows through the course comes into play on a couple of holes. The greens are small, but, the fairways are wide.  The terrain around the greens is typically open, allowing the greens to be reached from adjacent fairways.  

A difficult hole to score on is #5, a 470-yard, par 5, which has a creek that must be carried off the tee and a fairway that doglegs around a stand of trees.

Par for the course is 72. From the back tees, the course plays to 6,560 yards. From the forward tees, the course measures 5,140 yards. The longest hole on the course is # 10, a par-5 that plays to 530 yards. The shortest hole on the course is # 2, a par-3 that plays to 170 yards from the back tees.

Watch out for # 1, a 425-yard par-4 challenge and the #1 handicap hole on the course. The easiest hole at Elk River Golf Course is # 13, a 295 yard par-4.
