Minnesota National Golf Course & RV Park

Experience golf in Minnesota as it was meant to be. Minnesota National is a Northern Minnesota 27 hole Joel Goldstrand Masterpiece. With five sets of tees on every hole and stretching a magnificent 7200 yards, our Championship Course has something to offer all levels of golfers. The championship course has meticulously maintained bentgrass fairways, tees and greens, and Ohio white sand bunkers. Each hole will make you feel like you are out on the course all alone, except you will be surrounded by the abundant wildlife and beauty that is native to Northern Minnesota. Try a quick 9-holes on our Savanna Course. With a par of 33 that can be played to 2500 yards, the course is great for the family, a fun late nine or a way to hone your wedge skills, Savanna is truly a course that can be enjoyed by all levels. RV camping, lodging, and event facilities to accommodate any type of stay!
