Giants Ridge Kicks Off Eventful 2022 Golf Season

Highlights Include 25th Anniversary of The Legend, Value-Laden Golf Packages

(BIWABIK, Minn.) Giants Ridge – Minnesota’s leading golf resort set in the rugged beauty of the Mesabi Iron Range – commenced its 2022 golf season on May 13 with multiple specials ideal for those looking to escape up north this summer and a special silver anniversary for its Legend course.

A convenient three-hour drive from the Minneapolis – St. Paul metro area, Giants Ridge boasts two of the highest ranked layouts in state, The Quarry and The Legend. Although both tracts were designed by renowned course architect Jeffrey Brauer, each course features its own unique layout and character.

The highlight of the 2022 golf season is the 25th anniversary of the Legend Course. Established in 1997, The Legend is credited with creating the golf scene in the Iron Range of Minnesota and spearheading that region into becoming a world-renowned golf destination. Carved out of the Superior National Forest, the player-friendly resort course plays through towering pines and alongside glittering Sabin Lake.

The appropriately named Quarry is built on the site of a former sand quarry and iron ore mine and often considered the best public golf course in Minnesota. Dramatically raised tees and hazards forged from reclaimed and repurposed mine land set The Quarry apart from other courses and provide dramatic Iron Range vistas.

Beginning June 3, The 37-Hole Golf Special package includes golf with cart on both of Giants Ridge’s award-winning courses along with range balls and yardage book. Labeled “Minnesota’s Greatest Value in Golf,” this offer also features lunch between rounds for a price of just $175 on weekdays and $190 on weekends.

For guests interested in a slightly slower-paced resort experience, the Nine and Dine Special includes nine holes of golf for two on either championship layout after 2 p.m. and dinner for two at the Wacootah Grille or The Burnt Onion Kitchen & Brews, two unique and delicious dining establishments. Price does not include tax, and dinners include select menu items.

“After a long winter, we are ecstatic to open the 2022 golf season and once again welcome golf groups to the resort,” says John Kendall, Director of Golf. “Our golf packages are the perfect way to experience The Quarry, The Legend, and the outstanding amenities that cement Giants Ridge as a premier golf destination in the Midwest.”

Giants Ridge continues to shine as one of Minnesota’s best golf destinations. In addition to Golf Digest’s Best Golf Resorts in the Midwest honor for the fourth year running, Giants Ridge achieved lofty status in Golfweek’s latest public course rankings. The Quarry maintained its top-35 ranking from the year prior. The splendid resort and its courses have also received accolades from GOLF Magazine, MyGolfSpy and GolfPass.

Golf groups can savor early season prices as low as $82 to play one of the Brauer’s highly touted championship designs.
