About Lutsen Resort

Lutsen Resort On Lake Superior sits where the Poplar River meets the largest Great Lake (also the second-largest lake in the world). The historic resort – home to lodge rooms, log cabins, townhomes, Sea Villas and Poplar River Condos - overlooks a large pebble beach of a secluded, private cove where swimming, kayaking and fishing are perfect summer past times. The Scandinavian architecture offers a special charm. Romantic dining comes courtesy of the Waterfront Dining Room. The resort fee allows for complimentary 9-hole pitch and putt golf, disco golf, shuffleboard, indoor pools and hot tubs, live music on the beach and nightly bonfires with smores kits available at the front desk. The scenic 27-hole Superior National at Lutsen is a “driver and a 7 iron” away from the resort.

First Time in MN

While visiting Gran Marais, we found Superior National and gave it a shot. Overall a very good experience. Not long but with the wind off the lake the percieved distance was close to 6700 yards. Natural beauty of the couse was spectacular particularly the Canyon 9. Would play again if I'm every back in the region. Staff are great!

Worth the drive!

Everything was great. I arrived too early for my tee time and decided to have lunch. I ordered from the short order kitchen and was happy with my pizza. Checked in early to get a bucket and warm up but the starter warned that I would be a single behind several foursomes and offered me an immediate tee if I could go quickly. Such a smart offer and great set up. The river/canyon set was amazing. Such a beautiful course layout and fun design. Too many holes to describe but canyon 17 is worth every dollar you spend here. I drove a day and a half to get there and already talking my wife into coming back next summer. If you’re close you can’t beat it for the views and course conditions. Heath and Makayla deserve a shout oh yeah and Jack

Wonderful golf outing on the North Shore

We enjoyed our annual outing to Superior National. It's a spectacular place to play on a beautiful summer day.

There were a couple of greens that had suffered and were in rough shape. When we played there before the flowers and landscaping were beautiful. The clubhouse was seeming a little shabby, needs some stain and fixing on concrete. I am very pleased we got a deal from golf now, not sure it is worth the full price anymore. However, the vistas are still amazing!!!

Great day, great layout

Haven’t been to Lutsen for maybe 10 years but the course was as fun as I remembered. A few greens were a little rough but other than that it was a great round.

Tough Days

We have played this course many times in the past. It is absolutely a beautiful place to play. However, this time many of the greens were in really rough condition. Not sure what has happened? Even some of the fairways were sparse in many places. Winter rules is the only way to describe some fairways. So a little disappointing this time around.

great course to play

Fabulous layout!!!!! Course conditiions were only fair as the fairway has some weedy areas but we played winter rules. The greens did have some winter kill that still has thin areas. Despite these problems, the scenery is spectacular and worth the experience.

Winterkill

Many greens and fairways are brown with winter kill or lack of spring rain. Nice course but given conditions greens fee are too high. Front desk personnel were very personable.

Very scenic course

played this course a handful of times . The setting is beautiful ,with Lake Superior in the background , and a fast flowing river on several holes . Like several courses this year , the greens weren’t very good , with a lot of winter kill . Will play again ,when conditions are better .

Course conditions

Great views and love the layout. Have played for many years and many tee boxes, fairways and greens were pock marked and is in some of the worst shape I’ve seen. Certainly not worth the expensive greens fees. Not near the quality of the Wilderness in Tower MN.

Awesome Spot

The course is a sight to see - loved my time at the club. The views are tremendous, the sounds of the river coming down the mountain, while having to hit over and next to that river is awesome. Teeing off on 9, hitting directly at Lake Superior is a fun memory. Would absolutely play again, and I will recommend to others.
