In brief, this 18-hole championship golf course has redefined golf in the Midwest.
A par 72 and walkable 7,000 yards FROM the back tees, 'The Quarry' honors the region's industrial past in a unique and culturally significant way. Each hole is named for area mines, past and current--from hole four, which commemorates the giant Mahoning mines that produced more than 130 million tons of iron, to hole 18, named for the Embarrass mine, which today, is a 550-foot deep mine-pit lake, the deepest on the Mesabi Iron Range.
Golf Digest critic Ron Whitten cited The Quarry as "The Best Golf of the 21st Century," and went on to say, "....hands down the finest (golf) course in Minnesota. He also added, "...this Quarry will swallow up all Quarries before it, FROM Florida to California. It's a combination of Pebble Beach, Pine Valley, Merion and Tabacco Road, with a bit of architectural Tabasco sauce sprinkled in for the occasional jolt."
