Course Overview
Andrew Green has mastered the playbook for restoring Golden Age parkland gems, and he did so again here outside Minneapolis where Bob Jones won one leg of the Grand Slam. Among the improvements: removal of poorly positioned trees; restoration of fairway width; and expanding Donald Ross’s greens to their fill pads. Green also reintroduced Ross’s bunkering schemes, and many of the greens are now surrounded by short grass. Ross’s routing across ridge lines creates memorable and distinctive holes such as the par-3 5th, par-4 6th, par-4 10th, par-5 12th and par-4 13th. The occasional water hazard adds to the diversity of obstacles that golfers must overcome. A well-played round here is deeply gratifying as the course poses every conceivable question of its challengers.
