David A Parker Photography
Before he moved to California where he laid the foundation of many of that state's best courses from the pre-Depression era, William Watson was a pioneer of golf in Minnesota. He arranged the first nine holes at White Bear Yacht Club in 1912 near the shore of White Bear Lake on some of the most roly-poly land imaginable. Several years later, Donald Ross, it is believed, added nine holes and remodeled the course. That rumpled, unmodified land is the heart and soul of White Bear Yacht Club. Modern architects would likely have leveled and softened the slopes and ravines, but here they bring the golf to life visually and psychologically, offering nary a level stance and asking the player to hit approaches with extreme control. Over the last two decades under the guidance of Jim Urbina the surrounding canopy of forest has been pared back to better reveal the massive, enthralling undulations of the course.
100 Greatest: The course was part of Golf Digest's original 200 Toughest Courses list from 1967-'68.
Second 100 Greatest: Ranked 191st, 2017-'18.
Best in State: Ranked fourth, 2023-'24. Ranked fifth, 2011-'22. Ranked inside the top 5, 1991-2003. Ranked inside the top 10, 2005-'09. 2023-'24 ranking: 4th.

100 GREATEST/BEST IN STATE SCORES
Shot options, layout variety, conditioning.
“Great layout, with a lot of Donald Ross influence throughout. You'll need to enjoy blind shots to like this course, but if you do, the abundance of undulation across the course makes this place standout."
“Amazing land movement hole to hole and w/in each shot throughout the round. Quirky in that one tees off over Dellwood Road twice on holes 5 & 12. Standout holes were the short par 3 third hole w/ the wooden bridge to the left and a large slope to the right feeding from right to left, the short par 5 ninth hole w/ the roller coaster of land movement from tee to green, and the short par 4 fourteenth that boomerangs from left to right."
“very enjoyable walk with some very interesting holes that you will see anywhere near MN. Can tell this course was built before earthmoving eqp, great to see that history."
“Wild ride of land movement and elevation change... lots of side hill lies and fantastic design variety. Hole #14 short par 4 is one of the best I've every played... can hit anything from 7 iron to Driver with double plateau green. Green complexes are very challenging."
“Classic Donald Ross course. Ross moved very little earth to build this course. It fits the terrain perfectly."
“Awesome rolling topography. Great conditions. This is such a fun course to play on these hills. The 18th hole is a little bit of a let down. Truly think they would benefit from switching the 9s."
“While still highly rated, it is the most underrated top course in the state. The variety on the course, conditions, and the unique multi-clubhouse vibe is top on the state."
“Old Donald Ross design built on undulating ground. Beautiful set of Par 3's are the highlight here. Here's a course where you will hit every club in your bag. This is a fun course to play. Jump at the chance to play here if ever invited."
“Delightful private club on a small site with considerable elevation changes. What I lacks in length is made up in variety, uniqueness/quirk, and challenging green complexes. Very soft when played, which is probably more often the rule than the exception (though reportedly, they do strive for firm conditions)"

What Golfers are Saying
I played this course as a kid. It's still very much the same. They did reverse the order of the holes. Number 1 is now number 10 and vice versa. There are no "even" lies on this course. Very hilly. It is very well maintained and a beautiful place to play golf.

White Bear Yacht Club
- PLANET GOLF REVIEW
- USER REVIEWS
One of American golf’s real charmers, the White Bear Yacht Club was formed as a sailing club for blue-blooded easterners on the banks of Minnesota’s pristine White Bear Lake back in the late 1800s. Golf was not added until 1912, but Donald Ross’s initial nine-hole course was such a hit that he extended the layout to eighteen holes in 1915. The sport then quickly became the club’s principal recreational activity.
Low-profile and continuing to sneak under the radar of ranking panels, the course Ross designed here was one of his very best, and certainly the most interesting for golfers conditioned to believe that great terrain, rather than great turf, is the essential ingredient for great golf. Like at nearby Interlachen, Ross brilliantly incorporated all of the natural features of the site into a routing that moves across a series of radically undulating hills and ridges. With the exception of the 18th fairway, there is no let up from the natural bump and flow of the land so for those who don’t appreciate odd bounces, side-hill stances and hitting into obscured targets the par threes will offer your only relief.
White Bear starts with a tremendous par four that first plunges downhill and then rises up into an elevated green set beyond a huge bunkered ridge. The 2nd and falling par three 3rd are also good, but it’s the prolonged stretch of quality holes from the 5th to the 17th which really elevates the track into America’s elite. Massive undulations and cool greens make the 5th, 10th, 12th and 15th exciting par fours to play while the 7th is a classic par five with genuine three-shot options and an aggressive, but dangerous, two-shot strategy. Narrow and bumpy from the tee, its green is within reach but set on a spur and protected by a hump that kicks most balls away to tricky chipping gullies. This hole, as well as other wild five’s like the 9th, 13th and 16th, underscore the quality of Ross’s routing and his ability to locate fun and interesting green sites. Generally small but with lots of natural shape, the targets here show tremendous imagination and are full of subtle variety. Both the 11th and 12th, for instance, are situated beyond a frontal crest, the 11th with a high backdrop to allow balls to feed toward the pin and the 12th, by contrast, falling away steeply at the rear. There are at least seven or eight other outstanding greens, as well as a number of approach shots that rank among the most enjoyable Ross ever conceived.
Interestingly, his original plans for White Bear were destroyed during the 1930s and the course suffered through an extended period of neglect thereafter. Thankfully this neglect was addressed by the careful restoration work of Tom Doak’s team during the 1990s. Reinstating fairway widths and green areas, they also removed inappropriately planted trees and unnecessary traps, including those near the 7th and 9th greens, which in turn allowed full restoration of some fascinating chipping areas. This project was an enormous success and has helped present-day members better appreciate the true quality of their precious layout.
Donald Ross designed some remarkable courses in America, but few that have managed to evade publicity as successfully as the White Bear Yacht Club. With some of the finest slopes for golf in the Midwest, there is no doubt that were the layout a little longer and the climate more conducive to growing decent golf grasses, passionate golfers from all over the world would flock to play here.

After a wonderful day at Interlachen and Hazeltine, I headed a little bit outside of the metro area to see White Bear Yacht Club. That might be one of the best golf course names I’ve come across.
Through my burgeoning interest in golf course architecture, I’d heard about White Bear before. Additionally, as has been the theme so far on this trip, I had a connection through the No Laying Up message board.
I met up with Nick, Nick’s mom, and Tyler to check out this wild golf course. You’ll see from the photos, but the course heaves and dips over crazy land.
White Bear Yacht Club has a long history dating back before the original nine holes from 1912. Before the turn of the century the club was founded around sailing. Since then the club has hosted many tournaments and was the home of 1929 US Amateur winner Jimmy Johnston and head pro Tom Vardon. You may have heard of his brother Harry.
A fun aside from the club’s history page is that F Scott Fitzgerald and Zelda occupied a room in the clubhouse in 1921. They were apparently too wild and had to relocate.
Let’s start the show. The sign below greets you upon your arrival.
White Bear Yacht Club has an excellent logo, showcased here on the intricate hole markers.
All hole yardages are from the blue tees.
Hole 1 – 405 yards – Par 4
It’s no easy start to this round. The contouring and elevation change punch you in the mouth from the beginning. I love it.
For all the slopes you get in the fairway, the green is relatively tame.
Hole 2 – 429 yards – Par 4
A big drive can really help you out here. The fairway slopes to the right, so accurate drives will likely end up on that side. The approach shot plays to a relatively tame green which is fair due to the length of the hole.
Hole 3 – 133 yards – Par 3
I love quirk in golf courses and this hole is an epitome of that. Much of the green is obscured by the hill on the right and any left miss is absolutely screwed. It’s a short shot but you are absolutely nervous to hit it. Thrilling!
Hole 4 – 552 yards – Par 5
The high heather that is seen straightaway is in play on your tee shot. Laying back or aiming up the right is imperative. The characteristic fairway contours continue on this hole.
Hole 5 – 441 yards – Par 4
You don’t often find holes that play over roads, but they are more common on older courses for some reason. Unleash the driver on this long par four. The slope on the left side may slow down drives, but that side is best for the approach. It’s a real cost/benefit decision.
Hole 6 – 152 yards – Par 3
With the downhill grade, I found this hole played much less than the yardage. Short is also better than long, so that factors in as well.
Hole 7 – 457 yards – Par 5
The length may not scare you on this tee, but the slopes all over and heather down the right should.
Second shots must not be indifferent as there is a big slope in front of the green. You can have some interesting chips around this putting surface.
Hole 8 – 189 yards – Par 3
Quirk shows up again with three par threes on the front. Any left misses here leave you with a challenging chip from well below the green.
Hole 9 – 514 yards – Par 5
This might be the quintessential hole at White Bear Yacht Club. You cannot see the green until you get pretty close. The fairway contouring is turned up to the maximum, as evidenced by the view in the second shot. On the approach shot you can be creative playing along the ground or carry the ball all the way to the green. Choices abound!
Hole 10 – 332 yards – Par 4
Hitting the fairway is a big advantage when playing to this green. The putting surface is elevated and mostly blind. To add to the challenge, it is also one of the smaller targets.
Hole 11 – 180 yards – Par 3
Epic, almost comical slope characterizes this green. If you find yourself in the wrong section, be happy with a three putt!
Hole 12 – 383 yards – Par 4
Back across the road we go. The view from this tee box is certainly unique. A wide fairway is guarded by bunkers on the right before it gives way to a sunken, obscured green. Very interesting hole from start to finish.
Hole 13 – 514 yards – Par 5
Not many of the holes at White Bear Yacht Club feel tight from the tee. This is an example of what “tight” is here. It’s still pretty generous especially if you treat it as a three shot hole and play for accuracy.
The fairway mounding doesn’t quit out here!
Hole 14 – 336 yards – Par 4
I was told there had been some work on this hole and it had been changed a bit. The dogleg right did feel a bit out of place. The tee shot would become easier with multiple plays.
Bunkers guard the green, but I would argue the small size and extreme slope are the bigger challenges.
If I’m being honest, I thought this green was too severe for its size.
Hole 15 – 423 yards – Par 4
As you’ve seen the par fours here can be very difficult. The 15th is no exception, but if you can hit a drive up the left it shortens this hole a bit.
This look at the second shot can induce some fear.
But upon getting closer you see that the green is open in front and accepting of run up shots. A good mix of length with accommodating architecture.
Hole 16 – 483 yards – Par 5
It wasn’t apparent what this hole was doing on my first look. The green sits out in the distance, slightly to the right. With a hazard to the left, power fades play well here.
My drive left me with no view of the green and relying on my host for direction. He did a good job!
Short grass surrounds the green and can make for some awkward chips. For a short par five, it’s pretty devilish.
Hole 17 – 205 yards – Par 3
The final par three takes you on a straightforward journey. Can you you hit a longer shot to a bigger green while avoiding the bunker? No crazy slopes or elevation change here.
Hole 18 – 343 yards – Par 4
The finishing hole evokes Ireland with a blind tee shot marked by a “white bear” aiming rock. Driver is not needed and arguably not advised as a comfortable wedge yardage for the approach is paramount.
A good drive puts you in attack mode with a short club.
My day at White Bear Yacht Club was phenomenal. First, the company was top notch. On a long solo trip, I was grateful for the open arms of my No Laying Up friends. Second, the course spoke to me in a way not many do. So much quirk and interesting architecture. The membership has something special here. What a day!

Golfweek's best 2020: best private courses, state by state, share this article.
Editor’s note: Be sure to check out Golfweek’s Best 2021: Best private golf courses in every state
Each year we publish three lists that are the foundation of our course-ratings program: Golfweek’s Best Modern Courses , Golfweek’s Best Classic Courses , Golfweek’s Best Courses You Can Play, state by state . We also have Golfweek’s Best 2020: Top 100 Best Courses You Can Play .
What about the best in private golf? With this list of Golfweek’s Best Private Courses, we present the best private layouts in each state, as judged by our nationwide network of raters. (Pictured atop this story: Augusta National.)
The members of our course-ratings panel continually evaluate courses and rate them based on our 10 criteria. They also file a single, overall rating on each course. Those overall ratings on each course are averaged together to produce a final rating for each course. Then each course is ranked against other courses in its state to produce the final rankings.
KEY: (m) modern, built in 1960 or after; (c) classic, built before 1960. (For courses with a number preceding the (m) or (c), that is where the course ranks on Golfweek’s Best lists for top 200 modern and classic courses in the U.S.)

Outing is a good one. Also, if you go to the Seagle online at usgamuseum.com you can find The Golfer's Annual Guide 1899. It lists courses' dates of incorporation and when play began. For example, Morristown (aka Morris County) incorporated in 1895 and its course existed in that year. It was maintained entirely by women. Subsequently the course was completely redone and reopened Nov 1897. Lot of stuff like that in the book. Hole by hole yardages, pictures.
