Pre-season Rates for Iron Range golf!

Well, the weather is finally starting to cooperate with golfers on the Iron Range. Just wanted to take a second to post the forecast for the remainder of this week and holiday weekend. With highs into the 60s and even the 70s later this week, it looks to be shaping up to be a great week to hit any of the great courses on the Iron Range.

Don’t forget to inquire about great pre-season rates at several Iron Range courses including The Legend and The Quarry at Giants Ridge, The Wilderness at Fortune Bay, Eveleth Municipal, Hibbing Muni, Hoyt Lakes, the Mesaba Country Club in Hibbing, Virginia Municipal and Wolfridge.

Several area lodging properties offer Play & Stay specials when you play at championship courses like The Legend and The Quarry and The Wilderness.

Have a safe and happy Memorial Day weekend!

Golf gods say spring is here!

I just got off the phone with the golf gods…I have been assured winter is officially over! Spring on the Iron Range brings beautiful warm weather, green fairways and fast greens. Like everyone else out there, I’m excited to get out and enjoy a day on the links with friends. For those of you who have purchased new equipment (driver, irons, putter), you’ll finally have the chance to try them out! Early season golf is a great time to enjoy discount golf.

Practically every course in northeastern Minnesota will be open this weekend. So, if you’re headed to the area for Minnesota’s Fishing Opener, be sure to pack your clubs. That way, if you don’t end up with much luck on the water, at least you’ve got a back-up plan. And, m
any local courses, including The Quarry at Giants Ridge offer special pre-season rates. The opening day special at The Quarry runs from today, May 6th through Friday, May 9th. A little detour to The Quarry (prior to the fishing opener) will prove to be well worth it.

I plan to hit the links at the Eveleth Municipal Course to participate in the Verant Two-Man Scramble. Let me know where you’re planning to play….never know, I may just share a pointer or two!
