Mississippi National Golf Links

About Mississippi National Golf Links

Perched along the bluffs overlooking the Mississippi River valley, this Red Wing gem delivers some of the most dramatic elevation changes you'll find in Minnesota golf. The routing takes full advantage of the natural terrain, with several holes playing dramatically uphill or downhill through mature hardwoods, creating both scenic beauty and strategic challenges that reward course management over pure distance. The signature holes wind along ridgelines where you can see the Mississippi snaking below, and the elevation shifts mean club selection becomes critical, especially on the approach shots where the ball can carry much farther or shorter than the yardage suggests. What sets this course apart is its authentic Minnesota character and solid conditioning at a fair price point. The 4.5-star rating from nearly 300 reviews tells the story of a consistent, well-maintained track that doesn't try to be something it's not. Walking is encouraged here, and honestly, it's the best way to appreciate both the natural setting and the thoughtful use of the rolling topography. This isn't a destination course, but it's exactly the kind of honest, engaging layout that keeps locals coming back and surprises visitors who stumble upon it while exploring the scenic river towns along Highway 61.
