The Wilderness at Fortune Bay Tee Times

Very nice course, although probably my least favorite between this and the two courses at Giants Ridge. The course was in excellent condition and it was easy to see why--I saw probably two dozen greenskeepers out there working on it in my morning round! It's very pretty and generally player-friendly, although there were a few split fairways--including right off the bat on the first hole--that seemed kind of pointless. I also didn't find too many of the holes to be all that interesting, although the par 4 with the Biarritz green and the two par 3s on the front nine were good, as was the short par 4 wrapping around the lake on the back. The rest of the facilities here (clubhouse, hotel) are also very nice and the staff was helpful. I was strongly considering walking the course and both the lady in the pro shop and the starter said it was possible. But then I pressed the starter on what he would like me to do and he gave me a clear answer--ride--which I appreciated. And it was good advice. While walkable, the holes are further apart than at the Quarry and it wouldn't have made for as good of a walk.

I’ve played several of the northern Minnesota resort courses and this one was my favorite. Great layout in excellent condition with a superb pace of play and super friendly staff. Definitely worth the drive and the greens fee is very reasonable for the quality of the course and the experience.

Great course with beautiful landscape. Course was in great shape. Greens were smooth and rolled true. 5 sets of tee boxes which allows everyone to select appropriate length. Carts had GPS with touchscreen to know distances. Clubhouse and amenities are very good. Highly recommend to everyone for a great experience.

Excellent golf course with the openness to grip and rip. Challenging greens. Beautiful lush fairways. Be prepared to walk a bit even with a cart…

Views, quality, and much to offer! As a local, bar food gets tiring and this place gave my hubby and I much needed beautiful date night. We arrived by boat and even received a golf cart ride up to the restaurant. We were waited on by the amazing waitress Abby (who made great suggestions). Outdoor seating offered, with a beautiful view of the golf course. We were very happy and will return! Highly recommend.
