The Courses for the 2015 Golf Trip have not yet been determined. I really want to play Golden Eagle (I think it’s the best full-price value up there) and I’d like to try Minnesota National because I’ve never played there and it sounds like a nice layout. Below is a chart of the courses in the area and their prices to give you an idea of what we’re looking at. The miles and drive time are calculated from Currie’s cabin using google maps:
