Never seen a laptop screen get messed up quite like this one. Not sure what she did with it, but this HSRA laptop needs some serious screen replacement…

My favorite annual issue of Golfweek magazine arrived this week–the rankings edition.

As usual, they divide the top 100 course rankings into two listings: the classics (before 1960) and the modern (1960 – present).

Minnesota had four courses on the classic list (previous year’s ranking in parentheses):

#46 (43), White Bear Yacht Club, 7.30
#51 (57), Interlachen Country Club, 7.27
#71 (77), The Minikahda Club, 6.94
#87 (86), Northland Country Club, 6.79

The number one classic course was again Cypress Point Club in Pebble Beach, with a score of 9.59.

On the modern side, only one Minnesota course made the list:

#64 (45), Hazeltine National Golf Club, 6.99

Sand Hills Golf Club in Mullen, Nebraska, was again the number one modern course, with a score of 9.40.

Golfweek also compiled a list of top daily-fee and resort courses by state (with no scores listed). Here is the Minnesota list:

#1, Giant’s Ridge (Quarry)
#2, Deacon’s Lodge
#3, Wilderness at Fortune Bay
#4, StoneRidge
#5, Dacotah Ridge
#6, Legends Club
#7, Classic at Madden’s Lake (sic)
#8, The Wilds
#9, The Preserve at Grand View Lodge
#10, Chaska Town Course
