Minnesota contains approximately 400 named golf courses and country clubs distributed across 312 cities and 81 counties, according to data drawn from the USGS Geographic Names Information System, the federal gazetteer of named places. This directory organizes these facilities by geographic location.

The directory reflects a snapshot derived from official federal records, which means certain limitations apply to its comprehensiveness and currency. The GNIS database catalogs named geographic features rather than active operating businesses, so recently established courses or facilities that have undergone recent name changes may not yet appear in the listing. Additionally, the federal gazetteer does not include operational details such as whether a course operates as a public or private facility, current fee structures, or course layout specifications.

Individuals seeking to identify and locate golf courses by their city or county of operation can use this directory as a starting point. To obtain complete information about a specific facility—including operating hours, current rates, and booking availability—patrons should consult the course's official website directly.

Directory note. Listings come from the USGS GNIS named-feature gazetteer (2021 vintage) and are partial — public/private status, green fees and course layout aren't in the federal record. Confirm details on each course’s own site.

How to use the Minnesota directory

Start by narrowing to where you want to play — by city, or more reliably by county — then open a course for its locality detail. Every listing is a real, named facility from the federal gazetteer; for tee times, green fees and public-or-private status, check the course’s own site, since those aren’t in the GNIS record.
