GREAT OUTDOORS Photo by Micah Kvidt OTHER NOTABLE GOLF COURSES Beautiful, award-winning public golf courses are found throughout the Land of 10,000 Lakes, allowing golfers to experience more of Minnesota’s great outdoors. Giants Ridge , in the Iron Range of Northeast Minnesota, features two championship courses: The Legend and The Quarry. The more challenging Quarry course sits on an abandoned iron ore mine—a nod to the area’s past—and features dramatic lake and forest views from elevated tees. The Wilderness at Fortune Bay offers scenic and challenging golf surrounded by woodlands overlooking Lake Vermilion. In the Twin Cities area, Chaska Town Course sits on a walkable, 285 acres of oak groves and marshlands designed by Arthur Hills. Abutting the Chippewa National Forest in Northwest Minnesota, Tianna Country Club invites golfers to play her well-maintained fairways and greens amidst the undulating hills of the Leech Lake Area. Wide open skies and sprawling prairies in the southern region of the state greet golfers at the Dacotah Ridge Golf Club —Minnesota’s only course fully designed by Rees Jones.
