VENUE: Interlachen CC 6200 Interlachen Blvd, Minneapolis, MN 55436
COURSE: From The American Private Golf Club Guide, by Daniel Wexler.
First and foremost Interlachen Country Club is best remembered for hosting the 1930 U.S. Open, the third leg of Bobby Jones’s immortal Grand Slam. But the club has remained a player on the international stage throughout the decades since having hosted the 1993 Walker Cup, the 2002 Solheim Cup, and most recently Inbee Park’s victory at the 2008 U.S. Women’s Open. Though golf was first played here in 1909 over the William Watson-designed 18, the course upon which Jones triumphed was created by Donald Ross via a comprehensive renovation. That layout still retains its original routing, and while numerous small modifications to bunkers and greens (plus substantial tree growth) have changed its overall appearance, some 2006 restorative work by Brian Silva has helped to maintain a classic feel. While not quite as intricate in its strategic underpinnings as many nation’s periods elite, Interlachen does offer many fine holes, with outbound favorites including the 226-yard pond flanked 3rd, the 441-yard dogleg left 8th (a highly demanding driving hole) and the 530-yard 9th, where Jones famously skipped his second across the pond during the 1930’s second round. The back initially features the 475 par 5 11th (a mean dogleg right played as a par 4 at tournament time) and the downhill 190-yard 13th (with Mirror Lake as a scenic backdrop) before closing entries like the 414-yard tree-squeezed 15th, 318-yard heavily bunkered 16th and the 428-yard 18th, which steadily ascends to an attractively elevated, bunker-less putting surface. Widely rated Minnesota’s best layout, and one of the upper Midwest’s most historical classic designs. (Golf Digest Top 100 USA #59, Top100golfcourses.com #80 USA, OC Top 100 USA #94)
