Dating back to 1926 when Ward Cosgrove laid out a 9-hole course for the founding members, the course at Le Sueur Country Club was expanded to 18 holes in 1973 by Joel Goldstrand. The index 1 par four 9th, dissected by Le Sueur Creek is a cracker.

Le Sueur
Le Sueur Country Club was founded during 1926, per this discussion at the course’s site: “In the course of the conversation Dr. Kraft said he thought it was about time for Le Sueur to build a golf club. The other two agreed that as long as it seemed to be the smart thing, for smart towns to do, certainly Le Sueur should keep abreast of the times.” The original nine was laid out by a local golfer, Ward Cosgrove.
Decades later, continuing to keep abreast of the times, the club turned to Minnesota’s Joel Goldstrand to renovate the original nine holes, as well as add another nine and create a proper 18. In the years since that development, Le Sueur has continued to enjoy the route Goldstrand put forward across its moderately hilly terrain, with multiple tee and approach shots made over the creek that bears the club’s (and the nearby town’s) name.

The latest ranking of the Top 100 Golf Courses in the World serves as the ultimate global golf bucket list. Most members of our World Top 100 Panel are seasoned golfers, each playing 20-30 of these courses annually while travelling extensively over decades to form their opinions on others. We recognise that opinions vary—even among our panel members. Rankings are subjective, and there are undoubtedly 50 or more courses in the UK and USA alone that could easily fit onto this list.
