Golf in Forest Lake

Forest Lake in Washington County anchors the lake country at the northern edge of the Twin Cities exurban fringe. Three courses — Castlewood, Forest Hills Golf Club, and Tanner's Brook — reflect a community that has grown substantially as commuters seek more space north of the metro while remaining connected to it. Forest Lake itself gives the town its identity, and the surrounding Washington County landscape of lakes and forest supports a golf culture that spans the full season. Minnesota's golf tradition, deep civic culture, and enthusiastic amateur sporting community sustain courses like this one as essential community infrastructure across every region of the state.
