Frequently Asked Questions

What makes Edinburgh USA's course design stand out from other Minnesota courses?

This course is a classic Robert Trent Jones Jr. design, meaning you'll face plenty of water hazards and strategically placed bunkers. It's a true test of shot-making, especially when the wind picks up, so be ready to think your way around. We found it demands precision over brute force.

When is the best time to play Edinburgh USA for optimal conditions and weather?

We highly recommend visiting in late spring or early fall - think May-June or September-early October. You'll avoid the peak summer humidity and enjoy the course in its prime, with lush fairways and fast greens. Just remember, Minnesota weather can be unpredictable, so pack layers.

Is Edinburgh USA worth the green fee, and what should I expect regarding pace of play?

Absolutely, it's a premium experience that justifies the cost, especially for a championship-caliber track. While it can get busy, especially on weekends, the course generally manages pace of play well; expect a solid four-and-a-half-hour round. We always feel it's a great value for the challenge and conditioning.

What's the most memorable or challenging hole at Edinburgh USA?

For us, the par-3 17th hole, with its island green, is the absolute showstopper and a true test of nerves. You'll need to commit to your club selection and hit a precise shot to avoid the water and walk away with a par. It's a fantastic finish to an already demanding back nine.

What are the practice facilities like at Edinburgh USA, and is there a good spot for a post-round drink?

Their practice area is top-notch, featuring a large driving range, chipping green, and putting green, so arrive early to warm up properly. After your round, the clubhouse bar offers a relaxed atmosphere with great views of the course - perfect for dissecting your game over a cold beverage. We always make time for it.
