Fall is such a wonderful time of year in Minnesota. As the leaves change, golf courses around the state become even more desirable for their breathtaking scenery. In northern parts of the state, the leaves have already started to change, and in the coming weeks, the rest of the trees in the state will join in, transitioning from green to vibrant shades of red, yellow, and orange.

In northeastern Minnesota, visitors can enjoy a round of golf with spectacular views. At Giants Ridge, rated the most valuable, most affordable, and best overall golf experience in the nation by Golf Digest, players can enjoy courses of The Legend and The Quarry. Golfers looking for variety can also head to the Wilderness at Fortune Bay, which features panoramic views from the shores of magnificent Lake Vermilion.

Head north to find Golden Eagle Golf Club in Fifty Lakes. This 18-hole Champion style course was designed by Michael Morely and Bruce McIntosh and is situated on 210 acres of a former private preserve. Designed in harmony with its majestic north woods surroundings, Golden Eagle is truly a golden golf experience. No matter where players are on the course, they will be treated to spectacular views from the many elevated tees.

Closer to the Twin Cities, Legend’s Club, located on the border of Lakeville and Prior Lake near Burnsville, offers views of its 30-acre lake throughout its 18-hold championship course, nestled in the picturesque Minnesota woodlands.

What are you waiting for? Get out there and celebrate autumn with a golf escape! Enjoy the colorful drive through nature. Say goodbye to bugs and hello to sun soaked days and cooler temperatures.
