Country Club In Minnesota Needs Help Now Identifying Vandals

The Northland Country Club in Duluth is a historic property with a story that began in 1898, when three prominent Duluthians,  Alfred Taussig, E.P. Towne, and C.B. Woodruff, traveled to St. Paul to explore top golf courses in Minnesota that would serve as inspiration for their own course.

The three men returned to Duluth with many ideas and motivation, and quickly shared their plans with Pennsylvania real estate mogul T.W. Hoopes upon their return to Duluth. The four men would then find the location to make their dream a reality.

The Northland Country Club was founded on April 17, 1899, and today it's recognized as one of the top 5 golf courses in Minnesota and one of the top Classic Golf Courses in the United States. Members also enjoy tennis, pool access, and the country club hosts several weddings and events throughout the year.
