Golf in Lauderdale

Lauderdale is one of Minnesota's smallest cities — a compact enclave on the Minneapolis-Saint Paul boundary that hosts a remarkable density of golf. Francis Gross Golf Course (Minneapolis Park and Recreation Board), Les Bolstad (University of Minnesota), and Midland Hills Country Club all operate within this tiny Ramsey County municipality. The university's presence gives Les Bolstad a distinctive academic character, while Gross and Midland Hills serve the broader community. Minnesota's tradition of community investment in recreational facilities sustains the golf course as a gathering point for residents who value the outdoor life that defines quality of living in the North Star State.
