Golf in Detroit Lakes

Detroit Lakes anchors the summer resort scene in Becker County, a community on the Detroit Lakes chain that draws visitors from the eastern Dakotas and the Twin Cities throughout the warm months. Two courses — Detroit Country Club and Wildflower Golf Course — serve a resort market where lake activities dominate but golf fills the non-water hours. Wildflower, operated by Fair Hills Properties, has established itself as the area's destination course. Minnesota's compressed but intensely enjoyed golf season creates an enthusiastic local community that values the course as a gathering point and an outdoor escape during the state's warmest and most social months.
