Minneapolis Country Club For Under 40 Year Old?

pihrig · November 8, 2015

Anyone have any thoughts on whether there are particular clubs in the Minneapolis area that might be better for an under 40 year old couple to join? I've been primarily looking at Minikahda, Edina & MGC, but am open to considering others as well (maybe Golden Valley?) Obviously this is a long term decision, and most people join clubs a little later in life, but I'd like my wife to hit it off with other wives, and I figure that's somewhat more easily done if they're closer in age, also have young kids, etc...

Appreciate any thoughts you have to offer

Where do you live? I don't know much about Minikahda or Edina. Do they have good "deals" for under 40? Wayzata allows you to put the membership in the youngest spouses name so you benefit until the youngest spouse turns 40. Membership seems young and very active at the club. I would also check out Medina for the same reasons. MGC is a mens golf club, plain and simple. Not many activities for women and children. Oh, and the range is horrible so if you like to practice you will hate their range (mats and nets). I love Golden Valley the course but don't know much about the membership. Good luck.

my sister and her husband are members at Minneapolis Golf Club, they're both under 40. i've only played it once but i loved it....Donald Ross design and i think they had like the 1958 PGA there.

Worked at Olympic Hills for a few years and the membership there is great. You would have plenty of folks around your age and they are good people.

Golden Valley has a good solid memebership too. Nothing wrong with the others, but the members are a little more mature (like myself) and it may be a little tougher to "break in".

There are no other facilities (pool, tennis) at OH, just a 1st class course.
