Baker National Golf Course is an inland public golf facility situated within the Baker Park Reserve in Medina, Minnesota. The 210-acre property houses two distinct courses: the 18-hole Championship Course and the 9-hole Evergreen Executive Course, alongside practice areas and a driving range. The Championship Course has received national recognition and serves as the primary layout for competitive and recreational play. The facility operates as an Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary, reflecting a commitment to environmental stewardship across its grounds.
The course is managed by Three Rivers Park District, a regional parks authority serving the western Minneapolis metropolitan area. As part of this public parks network, Baker National is positioned as an accessible facility for golfers of varying abilities and backgrounds. The site participates in First Tee Minnesota, a youth development program that uses golf as a vehicle for providing affordable and accessible opportunities for young players.
No specific original designer or year of founding is referenced in available course materials, nor are any notable redesign credits documented in the public-facing content. The dual-course setup, with both a championship layout and a shorter executive course, reflects the facility's intent to accommodate a broad spectrum of golfers from beginners to more experienced players.
The latest ranking of the Top 100 Golf Courses in the World serves as the ultimate global golf bucket list.
