Golf in Sauk Centre

Sauk Centre, Stearns County, is an unlikely literary landmark — the birthplace of Sinclair Lewis, whose novel Main Street immortalized small-town Minnesota in 1920 and earned him the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1930. Two golf courses, GreyStone Golf Club and Old Course Sauk Centre, serve a community that has embraced its literary heritage while maintaining the character of an agricultural small city on the Sauk River. 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. Minnesota's golf season, while shorter than warmer states', is played with genuine enthusiasm by a community that maximizes every warm day as part of the active outdoor life defining residential quality here.
