"SNL" offers 27 holes, several of which provide rather breathtaking views of Lake Superior, including the signature par-3 17th. Don Herfort designed the River and Mountain nines that opened in 1991, while Joel Goldstrand designed the Canyon nine. The first nine switches between the River and Mountain courses on alternating days, while the Canyon nine is almost always the second nine.

Given its strong popularity among golfers across the region and its very picturesque location, SNL has partnered with several hotels and lodges to provide stay-and-play packages. Widely regarded as one of the best courses in all of Minnesota, Superior National at Lutsen is very highly recommended.
