Golf and Ski in Your Backyard
Two award Winning Golf Courses
Giants Ridge is annually recognized for its two premier golf courses, which are open almost three full seasons each year. Recent accolades from Golf magazine and Golf Digest have recognized Giants Ridge as the most affordable place to golf in the nation, one of the 75 best golf resorts in North America, and as the number one premier resort of 2010.
Golfing – The Legend
Golfing – The Quarry
Also ranked as a top public golf course in Minnesota, The Quarry offers a distinct experience, incorporating unusual scenic and dramatic elements to form a truly unique and challenging course. Golfers can expect deep hazards, high ridges, elevated tee boxes, and at times, narrow fairways and small greens.
Winter Wonderland
Giants Ridge is open all year, even after the snow has fallen. When the golf courses are closed, enjoy many of the winter activities offered throughout the Giants Ridge mountainous territory.
Downhill Skiing and Snowboarding
Cross Country Skiing
For those who want to stick to a flat terrain, Giants Ridge has access to 60 kilometers of groomed cross country ski trails. The trail system was originally created for intensive training by the United States Ski Team, and provides ample skiing for recreational and serious skiers.
Additional Cross Country Experiences
Add some speed to your cross country adventure! Giants Ridge links directly to a 2,000 mile long trail system that spans the Superior National Forest. The trail system receives approximately 100 inches of natural snowfall each year!
More Fun at Giants Ridge
Need a break from golf or the slopes? Visit the LaRidge, Aveda Spa and Salon right at the resort. After scheduling a massage or beauty treatment, finish the day with a soothing latte from Starbucks (located in the lobby of The Lodge). Or, let your adventure continue by playing some disc golf, rent a bike, rollerblades, canoe or kayak.
