Minnesota Golfer - Summer 2024 - 16
Minn-Iowa Golf Club
is another historic venue, dating back
to 1919. Playing from 5,282 yards to
6,282, its No. 10 is the signature hole,
says Laura Ailts, longtime member and
former club president.
" It's a par 3, not completely surrounded
by water, but three-quarters of it is, " she
says. " That's a fun hole. The other hole
that's kind of unique is 14-that's a par
3 for men but it's a par 4 for women. The
women actually tee off behind the men. So,
it's kind of funny when people who play
here are from out of town-you'll see [men]
pull up to the red [tee] marker. "
The Labor Day Classic tournament is
a staple of southwestern Minnesota golf,
heading for its 71st year in 2024. " The caliber
of golfers we get is wonderful, so that
says a lot about the course, " Ailts says.

LUCKY NUMBER SEVEN
Windom Country Club dates back to
1947, a nine-hole layout measuring 5,130
yards off the front tees and 6,118 off the
back. Tara Smith, a Windom native, is
a board member, former Winona State
player and has won the past 12 women's
club championships. She calls her home
layout a " fun little nine-hole course with
a lot more trees than some people are
used to, so you have to have a good punch
shot in order to play well. "
Among the holes she singles out is No.
7, a par 3 of 107 to 163 yards with water
fronting the green and sand on either
side. The club's website touts it as one of
the most scenic holes in southwestern
Minnesota.
LADIES' CHOICE
Fox Lake Golf Club, one mile north of
Sherburn and a half-mile north of I-90,
is a relatively short nine-holer, only 2,174
yards off the red tees. Ann Jacobsen
and her husband, Gary, who operate the
course, see that as an asset. Ann says
women " enjoy coming to our golf course
because of the distance they can play ...
and not have to struggle to get from the
tee-off to the green on every hole. "
Gary adds, " A lot of people play it because
they can play nine holes and go about their
days. " That might include fishing, boating
or camping at nearby Fox Lake. Water recreation,
incidentally, is a nearby companion
at most of the I-90-area courses.
Fox Lake GC was established in 1939
and expanded in 1986. Gary Jacobsen
