Headwaters Golf Course

MGA Mag. has rated this course as the 6th best public course in the State of Minnesota. I would argue that positioning but truly in the top 15. The re-design from 20 years ago is remarkable. The improvements they recently finished to the clubhouse is beautiful. Kudos to the management for that addition.

A Great Day at Headwaters

4 of us played Headwaters on July 5th.
The course was in great shape. The fairways were lush, but short, the greens were super, but challenging.
Overall, we all really enjoyed the golf course and look forward to playing it again, soon!

Wonderful greens and fairways

Windy day, but did not affect play much because of all the tree lined fairways.

Carved through the woods

This is a great course. Big boomers might suggest that some holes are too short but no one can argue about the conditions of this course. We played inside 4 hours. The greens were in great condition and they were fast. The fairways were in excellent condition as well. They have a nice little clubhouse and outside patio, coolers for beverages on the carts and the carts were electric too, a welcomed silence. Be careful where you hit it on the greens, above the hole is an immediate challenge for putting. The par threes are memorable and the par 5s give nice opportunities for a birdie. No doubt this course is the best bang for the buck that I’ve played in the state. Get out and enjoy this northern MN gem.

One of my favorite courses anywhere.

Headwaters is a gorgeous course winding through the pine and birch treess. The conditions are always great, and the layout is one that you'd be happy to play every day. The greens are fairly fast, and roll beautifully. You'll find nice elevation changes, a par 3 over water, and plenty of chances to grip it and rip it.
