N
ational Geographic magazine
dubbed Ely one of the
best adventure towns in
the United States, right in
the heart of the Boundary Waters Canoe
Area Wilderness. That statement applies
to this entire Iron Range tour as well.
Ely's track, Ely GC, started with six
holes in the 1930s, upped to nine in the
'40s, and then a wave of volunteerism
survived waves of rain to bring it to
18 in the '90s. The track is a par 36/37
out and 36/37 in for some woodsy
arithmetic. What stands out amid this
natural beauty is the club's events: the
Polish Delight Par 3 Scramble, Big Hole
Scramble and a Night Golf Tourney and
Soup Cup Scramble.
Mesaba CC in Hibbing celebrates its
centennial this year with almost 150
MGA members and a course with ratings
that align with the two tracks at
Giants Ridge. It plays tough from the
blue, black and white tees. A man-made
creek created as a drainage solution
crisscrosses the course. Kevin McHale
plays the course daily and is a former
club champion. It's doubtful as to
whether Bobby Zimmerman ever swung
a club there.
As hard to spell as it is to pronounce,
Eshquaguma CC in Gilbert is a private
par-36 nine that plays to 18 with some
tweaks and adjustments playing back
in. Lumber money 'seeded' the creation
of this club between 1914-1920, opening
with sand (not sawdust) greens. The
course and clubhouse went through
several iterations, including a fire. Today
it's an exclusive private golf community
where its 74 MGA members enjoy multiple
services, events and amenities.
The par-71 Virginia GC sports an
enticing degree of difficulty,
if not
pedigree. From the gold tees, it plays to
71.1/134.The course was designed in the
