It’s been a while since I’ve had some time to sit down and blog.
Even though I work at Giants Ridge and we still have A LOT of snow (the slopes and trails are in fine shape, I might add), in all honesty, I’m so ready for spring and summer! I cannot get the thought of a beautiful spring or summer day out of my head. I long to be on the links soon!
With that in mind (and in light of the current economic crisis facing this great nation), I came up with some undeniable reasons why the Iron Range is the perfect location for your golf getaway this summer. Rather than heading to the trendy, upscale courses down south (and having to pay out your nose), save your money now for an unforgettable (not to mention, affordable) golf vacation here in northeastern Minnesota. Trust me, the Iron Range has THE best deals in golf.
Less travel time = more play time!
The Iron Range is a short three hour drive from the Mpls/St. Paul metro area. Four-lane highway leads to the Iron Range, making travel time minimal and more time for golf.
Numerous, accessible courses
One could fill an entire week with golf alone, here on the Iron Range. From world-class championship courses like The Legend and The Quarry at Giants Ridge and The Wilderness at Fortune Bay to pristine municipal courses, the Iron Range is one of Minnesota’s hottest places to play golf. (Plus, each of the courses are within driving distance of each other, making the Iron Range a convenient golf getaway.)
More golf for your dollar
Though the Iron Range is home to some of the most extraordinary golf in the state (heck, even the United States), that doesn’t mean the green fees are far-fetched, too. Here, you’ll find the absolute best deals in golf. Take advantage of pre and post-season specials offered at several Iron Range golf courses. No matter what time of season you choose to play, you’ll get more golf for your money here.
Abundant, affordable lodging
With dozens of comfortable and convenient accommodations to choose from, many of the lodging properties across the Iron Range offer Play & Stay packages for golfers (and other specials) throughout the season. Several also provide direct access to the courses found here.
Recreation options galore
If you’re looking for something to do after a day on the links, you’ve found the perfect destination. Guests have enjoyed the scenic beauty and outdoor recreation activities on the Iron Range for years. From fishing and hunting to canoeing, kayaking, hiking or biking, it’s all right here.
Leave your worries behind
Once you’re here, your worries disappear. Many who have vacationed here on the Iron Range say that it’s a much-needed escape from the hustle and bustle of the everyday world. Prepare to kick back, relax and enjoy the scenic beauty and splendor of the Iron Range. You’ll hear the sounds of rushing streams, the call of loons and wildlife (as opposed to traffic) and the only worry you’ll have is where you’re going to play your next round.
Free Golf
And, the #1 reason the Iron Range makes a recession proof golf getaway…..you can register to win a golf getaway at Giants Ridge here, complete with four rounds of golf and a two night stay at The Lodge at Giants Ridge. It doesn’t get much more recession-proof than that!
