Oak Glen Golf Course

Stillwater sits on the bluffs above the St. Croix River, one of Minnesota's most scenic corridors, and Oak Glen Golf Course occupies that same rolling, wooded terrain that defines this corner of the state. The layout plays through the kinds of mature oak stands and natural elevation changes that give the course its name and its character — this is Minnesota parkland golf at a genuinely attractive address, where the land does much of the design work.

As a public course serving the eastern Twin Cities metro, Oak Glen draws a loyal following from both Stillwater's residents and the broader Minneapolis-St. Paul market. It's the kind of track where you come for a straightforward, honest round rather than a manufactured resort experience — well-maintained, accessible, and rooted in the community it has served for decades.

The St. Croix Valley's seasons shape how the course plays: firm and fast in summer's heat, spectacular in fall color, and genuinely demanding whenever the wind moves through the hardwoods. Locals know to book ahead on autumn weekends, when the scenery alone is worth the trip.
