River Crest Public Golf Course

Montevideo sits at the confluence of the Chippewa and Minnesota Rivers in the southwestern corner of Minnesota's lake country — a landscape defined by glacial plains, river bluffs, and the kind of wide-open sky that makes distances deceptive on a golf course. River Crest's name signals exactly where you are: on ground shaped by moving water, with the terrain and character that come with it.

Public golf in small-city Minnesota carries its own texture. These are courses built for working golfers — members of the community who want a fair, honest round after work or on a Saturday morning, not a resort spectacle. That tradition tends to produce tracks with genuine local personality, maintained by people who care deeply and play them constantly.

As a full 18-hole layout at par 72, River Crest offers a complete round for players of any level making their way through this stretch of the Minnesota River Valley. For visitors passing through on Highway 212 or exploring the region's quiet agricultural landscape, it's the kind of local course worth pulling off the road for.
