From Superior National Golf Course - April 28, 2020


The Mountain Nine at Superior National will open for golf on Friday, May 8, 2020. 

Weather permitting as usual in May on the North Shore, golfers will be able to enjoy the game, fresh air, exercise, and being together, 6-feet apart, with family and friends.  As we are learning to say around here, stay at least one moose apart!  On the golf course, a good measure may be two club lengths apart. 

Operations will follow COVID-19 best practices and social distancing guidelines for re-opening as set forth by Governor Walz, MN Department of Health, the CDC and others.  Golfers will be required to follow this policy.  The full policy, with details on available services and amenities, will soon be posted on the website.  www.superiornational.com  Here is a summary regarding play:
