About Ely Golf Club

Ely Golf Club occupies a remarkable setting at the edge of the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness, making it one of Minnesota's most unique golf experiences. Located at the end of the road in the heart of the Minnesota Arrowhead, Ely is a destination for wilderness adventurers, and the nine-hole golf club provides a civilized recreational counterpoint to canoe trips and backcountry expeditions. The layout plays through a forested setting typical of the boreal forest that surrounds Ely, with pines, birches, and tamaracks framing compact, character-filled holes. The short season here — June through September — adds to the course's special charm, as players know each round is a precious gift of northern summer. The Ely Golf Club is beloved by locals and wilderness visitors alike for its unpretentious, authentic northern Minnesota character.

History

Ely Golf Club has served the remote Ely community for generations, providing a recreational anchor for a town that exists at the literal end of the road in northeastern Minnesota. The club reflects Ely's independent, adventurous spirit — a community that has reinvented itself from iron mining to wilderness tourism while maintaining fierce local pride and tight-knit community bonds.
