Braemar Golf Course is owned and operated by the City of Edina, Minnesota, and features 27 regulation holes Castle (1-9), Hays (10-18), and Clunie (19-27), a 9 hole executive course banquet facilities, meeting rooms, and a grill that serves breakfast, sandwiches, beer and wine.

Braemar is probably the most unique and diverse course in the Twin Cities area. It has hosted a PGA tour events, amateur championships, numerous Minnesota Golf Association tournaments, has men's leagues, junior golf leagues, 12 women's leagues and the Sister Kenny Institute holds a golf league for golfers with disabilities. Braemar also is a member of the Cooperative Sanctuary Program of Audubon International. The driving range is probably the heaviest used range in the Twin Cities. Next to the driving range is a large putting green that you can putt or chip. Also next to the 1st and 10th tees are a small putting green, a chipping/pitching green and two sand bunkers.

The front nine (Castle 1-9) is the longest of the three courses, We would recommend the red tees for mid to high handicaps as there are four holes over 400 yards from the white tees. The second nine (Hays 10-18) has a more interesting terrain than the Castle and is also relatively flat except the Par 3 12th with the tee near the top of a hill. The Castle and Hays nines are the original 18 holes. Their fairways are generous in width, the greens moderately undulating, quite large and in excellent condition. They are also well bunkered, but there is often an opening to run the ball up.

The third nine (Clunie 19-27) is the newest course. The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR) had significant input on this course's design as it wanders through a number of natural hazards and dense wooded areas. Clunie might be too difficult for the higher handicap player. Others will find it fun and challenging. Clunie is much more difficult to walk as there are three long uphill climbs from green to tee. The condition of Clunie was similar to the original course except the fairways weren't in quite as good condition with some bare spots. Centrally located, Braemer is a very busy place that is well managed, well maintained and has everything you would want from a full service golf course.

Braemar Golf Course Boasts 27 regulation holes to go a long with a 9 hole executive course.

The executive course is a fun and challenging 9 when you are short on time. It is fairly priced and offers fair changes in elevation. The regulation course offers a pretty average experience across the first 18 holes. It's a nice course, but lacks any signature holes. The greens are fair and the course is decently laid out if not a little tight. Holes 19-27 on the other hand is a very poorly laid out course that is sandwiched in to the remaining land. The holes are slim and unforgiving and is a place to lose balls.

The braemar practice facilities are great offering a large range and nice putting greens to practice on. These facilities are worth checking out. If you live in the area sign up for emails from braemar, they issue excellent specials all the time.

Rangers acted inappropriate towards my foursome. We were on pace for a four hour round but at the turn they were pushing us like we were holding up the whole course. Course itself was in bad shape with fairways and greens diseased and blotchy everywhere. $52 with cart not $36 as you indicated.

EDITOR: We've updated the site to reflect the $52 weekend greens fees.

A nice facility with a big practice area. Also has a nice executive nine that if fun to play if you don't have tons of time. Very popular with leagues and the staff is great to work with.
