Former StarTribune copy editor and sports writer, Joe Bissen, wrote a book several years ago about all of the “lost” golf courses in the state of Minnesota. It is an engaging read (actually, he’s written two books now), that you may enjoy.

He also curated a map of courses that you can view of all the courses that no longer exist. Believe he last updated it in 2022. Click to expand the map below (We may earn a commission via some of the links on this page, at no cost to you).
