Braemar Golf Course

About Braemar Golf Course

This municipal gem in Edina punches well above its weight for a public course, sitting on rolling terrain that creates natural elevation changes throughout the round. The layout makes excellent use of mature trees and strategically placed water hazards, with several holes that require genuine course management rather than just grip-it-and-rip-it golf. What sets Braemar apart from other Twin Cities munis is its surprisingly varied shot requirements. You'll face everything from forced carries over wetlands to tight tree-lined approaches that reward accuracy over distance. The course maintains solid conditioning year-round without the premium pricing of nearby private clubs, making it a smart choice for regular play. Walking is encouraged here, and the routing flows naturally without excessive cart path distances between holes. With a 4.4-star rating from nearly 500 reviews, it's clearly resonating with golfers who appreciate honest, well-designed golf that doesn't rely on gimmicks or artificial difficulty to create memorable holes.
