Golf Getaway: The Best Courses Near Alexandria, MN
The best golf near Alexandria, MN — from Geneva's 27 holes to Arrowwood's resort course — and how to pair a golf weekend with a lake cabin stay on Lake Miltona.
Alexandria is lake country first, but it quietly makes a great golf trip too. Several well-regarded courses sit within a short drive of Lake Miltona, so a group can tee off in the morning and still be back at the cabin for an afternoon swim and a grill night. Here's how to build a golf getaway around a stay at Legendary Log Cabin on Lake Miltona.
What Are the Best Golf Courses Near Alexandria?
Geneva Golf Club
Set on the shore of Lake Geneva just outside Alexandria, Geneva is a public 27-hole club made up of three distinct nines — so you can mix and match your 18. With water, mature trees, and rolling terrain in play, it's a favorite for visiting groups and the easiest tee time to plan a day around.
Arrowwood Resort Golf Course
Part of the Arrowwood Resort on Lake Darling, this course pairs lake-country scenery with resort amenities. It's a convenient choice if your group wants to combine a round with lunch and a relaxed, vacation-paced day.
Alexandria Golf Club
A classic, established 18-hole course with a traditional feel and mature layout. Access can be more limited than the public options, so call ahead about tee times and guest play before you plan your day here.
Beyond these, the wider region has additional nine- and eighteen-hole layouts. Since availability, rates, and public access vary — and can change seasonally — it's always worth calling ahead to confirm tee times, especially on summer weekends.
When Is the Best Time to Golf Near Lake Miltona?
Central Minnesota's golf season generally runs from spring through fall, with peak conditions in summer. Early summer and early fall are sweet spots: comfortable temperatures, gorgeous conditions, and — in fall — the bonus of turning leaves along the fairways. Book tee times ahead in July and August, when both golfers and lake visitors fill the area.
How Do I Combine Golf With a Cabin Weekend?
This is where Lake Miltona shines for a group trip:
- Morning golf, afternoon lake. Tee off early, then head back to the cabin's private beach, dock, and optional pontoon for the rest of the day.
- Split the group. Golfers can play while others swim, fish, or relax — everyone reconvenes at the cabin for dinner.
- Grill and unwind. Fire up the Blackstone griddle on the deck, rack the pool table in the game room, and recap the round.
