Manitou Ridge

About Manitou Ridge

You're looking at a solid municipal option that punches above its weight in the competitive Twin Cities golf market. The course winds through mature woodland terrain that gives it a more private club feel than you'd expect from a public track, with elevation changes and tree-lined fairways that demand strategic thinking over raw distance. What sets Manitou Ridge apart is how well-maintained the conditions are for a muni – the greens roll true and the fairways are typically in better shape than courses charging twice the price. The routing makes smart use of the natural topography, creating memorable holes that stick with you after the round. With a 4.1 rating from over 200 reviews, it's clearly resonating with regular players who appreciate getting premium course conditions without the premium price tag. Walking is encouraged here, which tells you everything about the thoughtful pace of play and the course's respect for golf's traditions. For the value-conscious golfer who doesn't want to sacrifice quality, this is one of the better kept secrets in the White Bear Lake area.
