The Pines At Grand View Lodge: Lakes/Woods/Marsh

Talk about sneaky competitive golf states: Minnesota boasts a top-25 ranking with eight public facilities -- and yet Grand View Lodge's Pines course -- which is actually 27 holes, is also one of the state's best. The Lakes/Woods nines comprise what Grand View Lodge refers to as its 'players' course, but the Marsh nine also rotates into the mix. The resort has had a number of improvements over the past couple years, including to its second course, the Preserve, and a multi-million-dollar renovation to the resort's clubhouse.
