Eden Prairie sits on the southwestern fringe of the Twin Cities metro, where the suburban sprawl gives way to rolling terrain carved by glacial activity — a landscape that, at its best, makes for naturally compelling golf. Olympic Hills Golf Club has been a fixture of this community for decades, and its setting among the wooded hills and contours of the area gives it a character that many flatter metro courses simply can't replicate. The terrain here does real work, creating elevation changes and natural separation between holes that feel earned rather than manufactured.
As a private club, Olympic Hills has long served as a genuine home course for serious Twin Cities golfers — the kind of place where a membership means something beyond access to a tee sheet. The rolling layout rewards local knowledge, and the tree-lined corridors typical of Minnesota's mature parkland courses demand both accuracy and patience.
Minnesota golf is a study in seasonal urgency — a short window, a loyal following, and a genuine appreciation for a well-conditioned course. Olympic Hills fits that culture well.
