Why we love this place
Why we love this place: Rush Creek proves public-access golf can feel like a tour stop. A genuine Cupp-and-Fought championship test that once hosted the LPGA, it's playable, beautifully conditioned, and welcoming to everyday players chasing a big-time round, precisely the kind of accessible ambition Formula 18 Golf loves pointing people toward.

About Rush Creek Golf Club
Rush Creek opened in June 1996 as an upscale daily-fee and membership club northwest of Minneapolis, its par-72 championship course routed by the design team of Bob Cupp and John Fought. Their layout weaves across rolling terrain, wetlands and reed-lined water, rewarding thoughtful angles over raw power and framing several holes with the club's namesake creek. Almost immediately Rush Creek drew national attention, hosting three LPGA Tour events in the late 1990s and bringing the game's best women to Minnesota. In 2004 it staged the U.S. Amateur Public Links, won by future PGA Tour standout Ryan Moore. Long regarded among the state's finest public-access venues, Rush Creek continues to collect top-course honors, including recent Golfweek and Minnesota Monthly recognition, while serving both members and daily-fee guests.
