Dacotah Ridge Golf Club

Dacotah Ridge Golf Club holds a singular distinction in Minnesota: it is the only fully designed Rees Jones course in the state. That alone sets it apart for golfers who follow the architect's work. Jones shaped the 18-hole layout to move with the rolling terrain of southwestern Minnesota rather than against it. The result is a course that feels rooted in the expansive prairie landscape, with sweeping elevation changes and a sense of open seclusion that is hard to find at more densely developed clubs. The design philosophy here is one of restraint and harmony — fairways and greens read as extensions of the natural environment rather than impositions on it. Golfers who value a classic, land-driven layout over a manufactured one will find Dacotah Ridge Golf Club worth the trip.
