HEADWATERS GOLF CLUB

The elevated tees here deliver commanding views across Minnesota's lake country while challenging golfers with dramatic elevation changes that transform club selection on nearly every approach. What starts as a seemingly straightforward northwoods layout reveals its teeth through strategically placed water hazards and undulating greens that reward local knowledge over pure distance. The back nine's amphitheater-style holes carved through mature hardwoods create the kind of natural drama that makes you forget you're playing a public track until you see the modest green fees.
