Giants Ridge Golf & Ski Resort (Quarry course)

4-PLUS: Must play course - excellent standard; worthy of 4½ stars.

Est. 2003

The Giants Ridge Golf & Ski Resort is home to two top-quality 18-hole championship golf courses: the Legend course, located at the main resort centre, and three miles away the generally higher-ranked Quarry course.

The Quarry course is one of the top-rated and finest championship layouts in Minnesota. The excellent tree-lined and open parkland course contains a wealth of wonderfully crafted, memorable and challenging holes. Definitely a course that will challenge your all-round game, and well worth going out of your way to play.
