Pierz Municipal Golf Course

Eighteen holes, ninety years in the making.

The front nine was cut into this ground in 1935 by the Works Progress Administration. The back nine did not open until July 2025, so this only became a true eighteen a little over a year ago. Play always starts on hole 1.

No sand traps anywhere

The challenge is the ground itself.

There is not one sand trap on the property. The layout was completed in 1935 by the Works Progress Commission (WPA), and it has been kept in pristine playing condition ever since. It is challenging but accessible for players of all ages and skill levels, and the challenge comes entirely from the terrain, the way it rolls, dips and falls away under a green.

One golfer, GP Minnesota, put it plainly after a first round here: while there were no sand traps, the undulation of the terrain provided an enjoyable challenge. Another regular, David E., calls hole 4 one of the most challenging par threes you can ever play, and adds that he was impressed by how few bugs there are out on the course.

Worth knowing before you tee off

A few holes that will stay with you.

Hole 4, par three, 166 yards

This 166 yard par three has a slow moving stream to tempt your tee shot. Once you are on the green there are devilish undulations that can leave even the best putters scratching their heads.

Hole 12, a short par four

A short par 4 that dog legs to the left. It rewards a tee shot that stays honest about the corner rather than trying to cut it.

Hole 5, par four

A par four playing 302, 292 or 275 yards depending which tee you play, straight off the tee sign on the course itself.

Pace of play and the grill

4 hours 15 minutes for eighteen holes.

That is the pace of play the course keeps to, and management asks every group to keep it. When you are done, come enjoy a beverage or a bite to eat inside the clubhouse. You do not want to miss one of the legendary burgers.
