Fort Snelling Golf Course & Polo Grounds

One of my favorite executive courses, with a variety of challenges, but with a particular focus on doglegs and distance. The course is well-​maintained and the rates are reasonable. A special feature is the fact that the course is surrounded by historic barrack and administrative buildings of Fort Snelling. An interesting contrast in that part of the course is right up to one of the MSP runways. Highly recommended.

This place is all that it pretends to be.
I had a season membership and this place had some great upkeep. Challenging holes and friendly staff.
A great place to play. I might take off one star because this place isn’t for the single golfer, looking to practice. Then again, its not their fault that they are busy.

This review is for Fort Snelling Disc Golf Course which is on the same site as the gold course.
This course is 18 holes and follows the golf course tees almost exactly by location. It can be unfortunate if your timing is exact as someone who started teeing off at the same time you start your game. At $ 5 for full access, it was a great price and really well maintained course.
The manager of the office had free disc rentals if you don’t already own your own. The clubhouse has vending beverages ans snacks for purchase if you want to take a break.
Overall, great rate and a challenging course. I will return in the summer season.

This is a fun executive 9 golf course that anyone can enjoy. Being able to hit long drives, its fun to cut corners here and drive the green on par 4’s.
The deteriorating Fort Snelling is literally across the street from the course and back in the day we used to drive some golf balls into the century old clock tower (which they are currently restoring).
Fort Snelling golf course is also adjacent to the Minneapolis St-​Paul airport and shortly after ⁹⁄₁₁ you would see blacked out towncars patrolling the street premise surrounding the course. Even to this day it would not be difficult to ram your car full stream into the bordering fence and find yourself on the main plane runways. Or, you can hide out in one of the fort barracks with your surface to air missile… well I guess I am getting off topic now, but in a nut shell it is pretty entertaining watching the planes take off and land so close to the course.
As of 2013 they have introduced Frisbee golf to the course, and its pretty unfortunate that the tee boxes for the Frisbee golf are the same as the regular golf. They have set up tee times to work with each other, but it limits the amount of regular golf you can do and the Frisbee golfers get in the way.
Very affordable at $ 17 for a round and its always easy to get on, I have never been turned away before, so we typically come here on a weekend when we don’t have reservations.
