Let's agree on something right off the bat. Anything more than $100 for most Americans is a lot of money to spend on golf. Ok, we have that out in the open. Now, that said, it's important to understand that when you think of the best golf courses in the United States - especially those outlined in Golf Digest's Top 100 Greatest Public Golf Courses - $100 ain't a lot of money. For example, Pebble Beach Golf Links, the #1 course on Golf Digest's list, will cost you $495 plus cart fee and that's before tax.

Minnesota Golf Season Tees Off April 27

It's been a great spring already for golfers - and this week the season officially opens with Play Golf Minnesota Week! The sixth annual Play Golf Minnesota Week starts Friday, April 27 and runs through Sunday, May 6. The event, hosted by the Minnesota Section Professional Golf Association and the Minnesota Golf Association, features free lessons and incentives from golf courses throughout Minnesota.

After a psychotic spring, it would appear that the wild and wacky Minnesota spring is making a return to normal - whatever that means! At least temperatures have resumed to a more "Minnesota-like" trend and you can start thinking about making travel plans with some level of confidence in the weather. At this point, temps through May up in Brainerd can be anywhere between the mid 50's and mid 70's - really predictable, right? The good news is that the chance of snow has been reduced significantly.
