Golf in Shakopee

Shakopee in Scott County combines history, entertainment, and golf in an unusual mix. Stonebrooke Golf Course and Water's Edge Golf Course serve a city that hosts Mystic Lake Casino, Valleyfair amusement park, and the Canterbury Park racetrack. Scott County's rolling moraine terrain gives both courses a topographic interest that distinguishes them from flatter metro layouts, and Shakopee's size ensures a strong recreational market for both facilities. The community's position in Minnesota's varied landscape means golf connects players to the natural world, whether through lake views, woodland borders, or the open horizon of the agricultural prairie. Minnesota's strong civic tradition and the community's investment in recreational infrastructure sustain the golf course as an essential gathering point through the compressed but beloved North Star State golf season.
