Want a golf experience that will heighten your awareness to nature and wildlife while challenging your skills on the course? Enjoy the thrill of seeing a deer bounding across a fairway? Or catching a glimpse of a fox as it races through the woods?
Does the idea of playing a round of golf on a course cut out of thick, northern Minnesota forest - while rarely seeing another group of players - appeal to you?
Tucked away in the tall pines and majestic oaks is a classic-style golf course that simply must be at the top of your next vacation itinerary. Nestled within Minnesota's Scenic Brainerd Lakes Area, approximately 2 hours north of Minneapolis, is Whitefish Golf Club.
Whitefish, a proud member of the Brainerd Golf Trail of Minnesota, is an 18-hole public layout that provides vacationers and visitors with the perfect spot for a relaxing round of golf while taking in the breathtaking scenery -- a cornerstone of the state's popularity. Whitefish is open from mid-April thru mid-October, providing a great atmosphere, from opening drive to finishing putt.
Whether you're a golfer who likes to pull his/her clubs out of the trunk and head to the first tee or would rather warm up a bit before heading out, Whitefish can accommodate you.
The club, located not far from the shores of the Whifefish Chain of Lakes, received a 4 1/2 star rating from Golf Digest in 2003-2004 and was named as the "Best Value award" winner.
