The 2021 prepaid leagues are the Saturday Traveling: White and Blue; 18 Hole Sunday (4 dates); 9 Hole Evening at Brookview, Braemar, and Oak Marsh; and Pay-as-You-Play: Red Traveling, 9 Hole Rush Creek, and 18 Hole Weekday Random.
Red League provides a great opportunity to play fun, relaxed golf, and hone your golf skills while having a great 9 hole experience. Red plays six dates on six different executive-type courses across the Twin Cities. Pair this league with our spring clinics offerings and watch the growth of your game - and your circle of golfing friends.

Four courses will be played including The Royal and Les Bolstad at the U of M. A minimum of 16 players is necessary to make this great experience work. No stress, just fun. Sign up by yourself and encourage a friend to as well.
Oak Marsh: This Tuesday evening, 9-hole league is perfect for Members on St Paul's East side. This is a fun, interesting course. We are also looking for a Captain to lead this league.
Subbing: Unsure about your availability to commit to a regular schedule? Sign up to sub on the prepaid leagues. Subs are always needed so we request that you are seriously committed to subbing.
