Hazeltine National Golf Club

Hazeltine National Golf Club is a championship course in Chaska, Minnesota, spanning more than 7,000 yards with narrow fairways and compact greens. The layout runs along the shore of Lake Hazeltine and features 18 holes shaped by natural obstacles and water features.

The course opened in 1962 and gained national attention during the 1970 U.S. Open, when Tony Jacklin won with seven strokes under par. The layout received several updates to meet modern demands and host major tournaments.

Each green remains small and demands precise putting, earning respect among players who value accuracy. The narrow fairways require controlled shots, and the lakeside landscape shapes the experience on the course.

The club is private and open only to members and their guests, offering two restaurants and a ballroom. The clubhouse sits centrally and provides access to the championship layout with its 18 holes.

Y.E. Yang made history in 2009 at the PGA Championship as the first Asian-born golfer to win a major tournament. The 16th hole requires a tee shot across more than 200 yards (180 m) of water to a peninsula green.
