Ridges at Sand Creek

Ridges at Sand Creek has hosted the Class AA Boys and Girls State High School Tournaments, along with the 2AAA and 6AAA High School Section Championships, giving this public 18-hole course in Minnesota a competitive track record. Designed by Joel Goldstrand, the layout plays from 5,136 to 6,961 yards. It is a popular round among Hole19 golfers in Minnesota. Practice options are substantial. A 40-stall, natural-grass driving range stretches over 325 yards with multiple target greens and quality practice balls. A 25,000-square-foot bent-grass green is open for chipping and putting. A wedge area shaped like a V offers five flags at 50, 75, and 100 yards. The clubhouse includes an indoor dining area with golf course views, a covered patio, and a menu running from breakfast — served 8 a.m. to noon — through casual lunch to dinner entrees, backed by full bar service.
