A pass is required to use the course from May through September and can be purchased online. Daily passes are $5 and season passes are $30 for residents, $40 for non-residents.
After you finish your disc golf game, sample international cuisine at one of Inver Grove Heights’ local restaurants. iPho2 serves Vietnamese specialties including pho, banh mi, noodle salads, and bubble tea. Taqueria El Girasol is great for Mexican food like birria tacos, burritos, and enchiladas. At LW’s Bierstube, feast on German fare such as bratwurst and weiner schnitzel, plus American pub favorites.
Golf and Foot Golf at Inver Wood Golf Course
Inver Wood Golf Course’s 27 holes are spread across a scenic setting, with rolling, wooded terrain. The practice center has a unique design, with two fairways, greens, and bunkers to provide an “on course” feel to the driving range concept. Tee times can be reserved online.
Inver Wood also offers foot golf, a soccer/golf hybrid that’s a fun outdoor activity for golfers and non-golfers alike. The game is played on the golf course, and players kick a soccer ball from the starting tee to the hole. You can opt to play an 18-hole or 9-hole round.
Inver Wood is conveniently located to Iwa Sushi, which is a local favorite for top-notch sushi and hibachi meals. If you’re looking for a quick bite, Oyevida Lifestyle Cafe offers healthful sandwiches, salads, and flatbread pizzas.
Executive Golf Course at Arbor Pointe Golf Club
One of the top short courses in Minnesota, the 9-hole course at Arbor Pointe Golf Club is a convenient way to play a challenging round of golf in a beautiful natural setting (maybe even spot some wildlife!) The par 31 course features water on seven holes and extensive bunkering. Tee times can be reserved online.
Enjoy a post-game round of drinks at Inver Grove Brewing. In addition to local craft beer, there’s a full bar and a food menu with elevated pub fare including brick oven Neapolitan-style pizzas, burgers, pasta, and more.
