Blackduck Municipal Golf Club

Blackduck is a small city in Beltrami County, deep in the lake country of northern Minnesota — a region defined by pine and birch forest, cool summers, and the kind of unhurried pace that makes a 9-hole round feel exactly right. The course sits in this genuine north-woods setting, where the landscape does a lot of the aesthetic work and the surrounding treelines give even a municipal layout a sense of seclusion and character.

As a city-owned 9-hole course, Blackduck Municipal is the kind of place that anchors a small community's recreational life — accessible, affordable, and built for players of all ages and abilities. Par-36 layouts like this one tend to offer a full set of par-3s, -4s, and -5s across the 9 holes, giving you a complete game without the commitment of a full 18.

Northern Minnesota's brief but beautiful golf season runs roughly May through October, and courses up here take full advantage of long summer days. If you're passing through on a fishing trip or exploring the area around Upper Red Lake, this is an easy, honest stop.
