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.

A Must See and Play Course

A beautiful golf course with incredible views of changing fall colors and Lake Superior. Excellent shape. I used a hot deal to receive a very good price yet normal rates were fair considering the quality and experience of the course.

Beautiful scenic course

Nature here is excellent. However, the pace of play on Canyon 9 was brutally slow and many of the greens had un-repaired ball marks.

Way overpriced

First time I’ve played this course since the $5 million renovation. Was shocked they put most of that money into the River 9 as it’s easily the worst 9 on the course. Mountain had minimal changes and that was the best 9. They have some nice views but course is extremely gimmicky. Fact they charge $111 when Fortune Bay and Giants charge less is a travesty. Those places provide 100* the golf experience. I felt it was a massive ripoff.

Fun course in a beautiful setting

The course is in great shape and very playable when played from the correct tees. As nice as the course is, playing there is mostly about the spectacular scenery. Take time for a few pictures.

Disappointing

Paid over $200 for my wife and I. Can’t believe they charge you additionally for the driving range. The club house guy said it’s always been that way……my response was “that doesn’t make it right or first class”. Always have enjoyed the track and the sand traps are in great shape. Recently aerated greens made the experience not worth the money. No water on the course, no cart girl on the course, no Marshall on the course, $8 to warm up on the driving range. Way better places to play. I have played up there many times and unfortunately probably won’t be back. Much prefer Wilderness and Giants Ridge courses which are less money, free ranges, better amenities and superb conditions and layouts. Glad SUPERIOR NAtional spent millions on a remodel. Just wish it was worth it. It wasn’t for me today. Try the others I mentioned instead.
