Destination weddings are all the rage. Young couples race all over the world to find the perfect setting in which to take their vows for a lifetime. But all the globe trekking for the perfect locale may not be necessary. You can find a great place for your big day right here in Minnesota — at a Minnesota golf course wedding venue.
Many of the golf courses of the EMGA host weddings. The brilliant greens of the fairways appointed by beautiful trees and shimmering waters provide a great wedding setting even before the decorations are set up. And since the courses are right here in Minnesota, more of your intended guests can make the drive to attend.
There aren’t any oceans near the state of Minnesota, but we are known as the “Land of 10,000 Lakes,” so a good view of the water is easy to find when playing golf here. There is something calming about hitting a high approach and watching it descend to the green earth with a view of beautiful blue water as a backdrop. So if you are in the mood for some lakeside golf, your search starts in Minnesota, the land of “sky blue waters.”
From the stunning (there is plenty of private and public golf in Duluth with fantastic views of Lake Superior) to the sublime (holes constructed amidst or surrounded by one of the state’s 10,000 water hazards), Minnesota has a lot of lakeside golf.
Minnesotans love to go up north. That phrase “up north” conjures all kinds of images of relaxation, excitement, and adventure. We have great golf, beautiful deep woods and lakes, ranging from the western border to Lake Superior, and plenty of activities to help put together a memorable northern Minnesota vacation.
In the center of the state of Minnesota, the heart of local golf beats where numerous excellent resort courses are located. For many decades, Minnesotans have traveled to the central region of the state to relax at the many lakes and golf at the high-end resorts. One of those resorts, historic Breezy Point, has been helping guests relax and enjoy themselves for more than 90 years.
Located in Breezy Point, Minn., the beautiful Breezy Point resort rests on the shores of Pelican Lake and is a year-round destination for vacation fun as well as weddings and conferences. Home to four different restaurants and multiple luxurious lodging options, Breezy Point attracts people from all over the Midwest.
Built in 1921 by millionaire publicist Wilfred Hamilton Fawcett, Breezy Point has attracted the rich and famous since the Roaring 20s. The likes of Clark Gable, Carole Lombard, Tom Mix and Jack Dempsey have made it to Breezy. Fawcett built a large lodge using massive Norway pines (some of which were more than 70 feet in length) and the lodge has been preserved and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
