Wells Golf Club

Small-town Minnesota golf doesn't get more honest than what Wells Golf Club offers. With a par of 62, this is a short-format course built for the community it serves — the kind of layout where locals walk after work, kids learn the game, and weekend rounds move at a civilized pace. That low par almost certainly means a course built around par-3s and short par-4s, demanding precision and creativity over raw power.

Wells sits in Faribault County, deep in the flat, open farm country of southern Minnesota. The landscape here is defined by wide skies, prairie horizons, and the particular quiet of a small agricultural town — a setting that shapes how a golf course feels even more than its architecture does. Expect the course to reflect its surroundings: unpretentious, functional, and rooted in the community.

For visiting golfers, this is the kind of stop that rewards curiosity — a chance to play a local gem at a relaxed pace, far from the noise of resort pricing or tee-time pressure.
