Moose Lake Golf Club
O
ne hundred years ago, the forest
in the Moose Lake region
was so dense there was no place
for a golf ball to go. Then came lumbering,
followed by a pair of deadly forest fi res and
then decades of recovery and renewal.
Today the area thrives with charming
towns, interesting history and challenging
golf courses-and is a great gateway
to northeast Minnesota.
Golf was introduced in Cloquet in
1923, when famed designer Donald Ross
crafted Cloquet Country Club. The club's
big shots were impressed by Ross' turn-ofthe-century
design at Northland Country
Club in Duluth. Minnesota designer Joel

Goldstrand completed Cloquet's back
nine at the turn of the 21st century.
Just down the road in Hinckley, Goldstrand
also designed Grand National. The
course conditions are excellent and players
can take advantage of stay-and-play
packages at the adjacent casino resort, as
well as hot coffee and sticky caramel rolls
at nearby Tobies. Pathfi nder is a relaxed
nine-hole option in Hinckley.
Locals made the nine-hole course in
Moose Lake happen in 1929, with design
help from Duluth sportswriter Runcie
Martin, who played in the 1905 U.S. Amateur
and was in the hunt in the third U.S.
Senior Amateur at the age of 72 in 1957.
Moose Lake patrons enjoy the views of
the course and Sand Lake from Shirk's Tavern;
many arrive by boat and moor at the
fl oating dock in front of the clubhouse.
The course at Black Bear Casino Resort
was mined from a thick forest, and is
located just 30 minutes south of Duluth.
Rush City's Bulrush Golf Club was designed
by former PGA pro and Minnesota
native George Shortridge, along with Mike
Morley (see sidebar). Pine City Country
Club offers a sporty challenge on its affordable
nine, which sports bluegrass and
four sets of tees. Rounding out golf on this
tour is the nine-hole 29 Pines Golf Course
at Mahtowa.
