Inspired by Horace Cleveland and guided by Charles Loring and William Folwell, Gross National Golf Club is one part of the park board’s vision to create a system of parks connected by parkways, along the most scenic features of the city. From parks that were once private gardens, garbage dumps and cemeteries, to a Park Board-operated airport, golf courses and a zoo, from lakes that disappeared or were made bigger, smaller or deeper, to the redevelopment of an industrial riverfront, City of Parks tells the stories of the public spaces that have become so important to Minneapolis. Along the way the Park Board has battled landowners, mayors and city councils, freeway planners and pernicious beetles that wiped out many of the city’s elm trees. City of Parks tells how the people of a city fought to preserve natural resources and open spaces, and shape them to meet evolving needs. The stories are both inspiring and instructional as Minneapolis looks to understand its past and anticipate its future.
 

StoneRidge Golf Club opened to the public on July 4, 2000, and has been ranked as the #1 public access golf course in the Twin Cities according to Golfweek Magazine. Designed by Bobby Weed, this links style course features rolling bentgrass fairways framed by native fescue grass. Large undulating greens and rustic irregular bunkering gives you a sense of playing "across the pond," in your own Minnesota backyard.
