About Bear's Den Golf Course
Bear's Den Golf Course is part of Timberlane Resort in Park Rapids, Minnesota, set close enough to the resort's lodging that golfers can reach the first tee on foot.
The nine-hole layout winds through the Minnesota Northwoods, with an actual preserved bear's den found on site along the demanding 8th hole. Practice facilities include a putting green, a driving range and a 250-yard warm-up hole for loosening up before the round.
