Giants Ridge Receives Coveted Golf Digest Editors’ Choice Award
Premier Minnesota Destination Honored in Midwest ‘Best Golf Resorts’ Category
(BIWABIK, Minn.) – Giants Ridge – Minnesota’s leading golf resort set in the rugged beauty of the Mesabi Iron Range – has received the coveted “Editors’ Choice Award” from Golf Digest in the “Best Golf Resorts in the Midwest” category for 2020.
Celebrating the “best of the best” golf destinations, Giants Ridge was one of only eight resorts listed in the Midwest and the only destination in Minnesota. Other prestigious properties named include The American Club, Arcadia Bluffs, Erin Hills, Forest Dunes, French Lick, The Inn at Bay Harbor and Sand Valley.
Located just over three hours 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 are designed by renowned course architect Jeffrey Brauer, each course features a unique layout and character.
The aptly named Quarry is built on the site of a former sand quarry and iron ore mine. 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.
As its name implies, The Legend offers flat-out legendary golf. Carved out of the Superior National Forest, the player-friendly resort course plays through towering pines and alongside glittering Sabin Lake.
“We’re thrilled once again to be recognized by Golf Digest as one of best golf resorts in the Midwest,” says John Kendall, director of golf. “This award is a testament to the incredible work our team has done to provide guests with a variety of attractive accommodations, great customer service and an extraordinary golf experience.”
Offering unbeatable value and 36 thrilling holes, Giants Ridge has long been considered one of Minnesota’s best golf destinations. In addition to Golf Digest’s Best Golf Resorts in the Midwest honor, Giants Ridge was tabbed one of GOLF Magazine’s best golf resorts for families in the publication’s inaugural ranking of North America’s Top 100 Golf Resorts. In addition to these honors, Giants Ridge and its courses have received accolades from Golfweek, My Golf Spy, WorldGolf.com and Golf Advisor.
