TPC Twin Cities
Frequently Asked Questions
When is the best time of year to play TPC Twin Cities, especially considering the weather?
You'll want to target late spring through early fall, typically May to September, for the best conditions. Minnesota winters are no joke, and the course closes down, so avoid those months entirely. Just remember the 3M Open is usually in July, so check their schedule to avoid closures around that time.
What's the biggest challenge golfers face at TPC Twin Cities, and what should I prepare for?
Water, water, everywhere - that's the main challenge here, especially on the back nine. Arnold Palmer's design, with Tom Lehman's revisions, strategically places hazards that demand precision, particularly on the finishing holes. Don't be surprised if you donate a few balls to the lakes, especially on the infamous 18th.
Can a regular golfer like me play TPC Twin Cities, and what kind of green fees should I expect?
Yes, TPC Twin Cities is semi-private, meaning it's open to public play, which is great for experiencing a PGA Tour venue. Expect green fees to be on the higher side, typically ranging from $200-$300+ depending on the season and time of day. It's a premium experience, so budget accordingly.
Beyond the course itself, what's the overall experience like at TPC Twin Cities?
You're getting the full TPC treatment here, which means top-notch practice facilities, including a great driving range and short game area. The clubhouse is modern and welcoming, offering excellent dining options for a post-round meal or drink. It's a complete package designed for a high-end golf day.
Which holes at TPC Twin Cities are the most memorable or critical to play well?
The final stretch, especially holes 15 through 18, is where the course truly shines and can make or break your round. The par-3 17th over water is a beauty, but the par-5 18th is the real star - a challenging finish with water down the entire left side. You'll remember that walk off the 18th green, for better or worse.
