Giants Ridge Welcomes Fall with Value-Packed Stay-and-Play Offer

Northern Minnesota Golf Package

By Brian Weis

Giants Ridge - Minnesota's leading golf resort set in the rugged beauty of the Mesabi Iron Range - is celebrating autumn with a stay-and-play offer ideal for golf getaways.

Available for midweek play through the end of golf season, the package includes one round of golf on either of Giants Ridge's two championship courses and accommodations at The Lodge at Giants Ridge. Rates start at $119 per person per night (based on double occupancy) and are available for stays Sunday - Thursday and tee times Monday - Thursday.

For reservations, call 877.442.6877 and mention the midweek fall golf package.

Located just over three hours from the Minneapolis - St. Paul metro area, Giants Ridge boasts two of the highest ranked layouts in the state, The Quarry and The Legend. Rated the "Best Course You Can Play" in Minnesota by Golfweek and GOLF Magazine, The Quarry is a true "must-play" course characterized by dramatically raised tees and hazards forged from reclaimed and repurposed mine land.

As its name implies, The Legend offers flat-out legendary golf. The player-friendly resort course plays through towering pines and alongside glittering Sabin Lake. Its smooth edges and traditional design elements offer a stunning contrast to its starkly modern sibling, Quarry.

"Giants Ridge is an ideal destination for a fall getaway," says John Kendall, Director of Golf. "With two of Jeffrey Brauer's finest designs situated in the breathtaking natural beauty of Minnesota's northwoods, it's a golf lover's dream."

Offering unbeatable value and 36 thrilling holes, Giants Ridge has long been considered one of Minnesota's best golf destinations. In addition to receiving a Golf Digest Editor's Choice Award for "Best Golf Resorts in the Midwest," Giants Ridge and its courses have received accolades from Golfweek, Golf Magazine, My Golf Spy, WorldGolf.com and Golf Advisor.
