Bemidji Town and Country Club sits on the north shore of Lake Bemidji, where it has operated since 1916. The 18-hole course is semi-private and member-owned, with close to 400 members, and it is also open to public play. The layout underwent major revisions in 1990 and further updates in 2014.
The club has a long tournament tradition, hosting the Birchmont Golf Tournament each July and the Vandersluis International Golf Tournament over Labor Day weekend. It has also served as a venue for Minnesota State High School League and Minnesota Golf Association events, and staged the Minnesota PGA Professional Championship in 2016. Roughly 30,000 rounds were played there in 2021.
