Located 20 miles from downtown Minneapolis, Rush Creek Golf Club is Minnesota’s premiere golf facility. Our 18-hole championship golf course opened in June 1996 as a par-72 layout designed by Bob Cupp & John Fought. We have hosted many national events, including three LPGA Tour events and the 2004 US Amateur Public Links Championship. In addition, Rush Creek has been ranked in the Top 10 of Golfweek's "Best Courses You Can Play 2023: State-by-State Rankings for Public-Access Layouts". We were voted as the winner for "Best Golf Course" by the readers of Maple Grove Magazine in their Best of 2023 issue, “Best Public Golf Course in the City” by Forbes contributor, Larry Olmsted, as well as “best public courses that GOLF staffers played for the first time in 2019” by GOLF.com.
Come out and play Rush Creek to find a true test of golf and to experience nature at its best. Our layout is enjoyable, scenic and playable for all golfers. Hole #18 provides a magnificent finish to your round. Leave your everyday stress behind and join us today for a round of golf you won’t forget! Minnesota’s best public golf venue!
Our 300-yard double-ended driving range features covered stalls which allow for practice even during inclement weather. Don’t forget about our Golf Academy which features instruction year-round. Visit our lessons page for more information.
During the golf season, range opens 1/2 hour before the 1st tee time and closes 1 hour prior to dusk. Current closing time is 7pm.
On Mondays, close time will move forward 1/2 hour due weekly maintenance.
