Golf in Faribault

Faribault, seat of Rice County, has developed a layered golf landscape with three courses serving a regional market south of the Twin Cities. The Faribault Golf Club, Legacy Golf Course, and Straight River Golf Course give players a range of options — from the established private club to a newer recreational layout. The Straight River gives the city its geographic character, and the golf scene here reflects the historical depth of a city built on 19th-century institutions. The surrounding Minnesota landscape's glacial legacy creates natural scenic context for the golf course, connecting players to the lakes, forests, and prairies that define the state's remarkable natural diversity.
