Princeton Golf Course is an 18-hole, par 71 layout set along the Rum River at the edge of Mille Lacs County in central Minnesota. The original course dates to 1955, with the remaining holes added in 1992 and further upgrades carried out in more recent years.
In March 2016 the course came under the ownership of James and Amanda Berglund, both of whom grew up in Princeton near the course. Since taking over, they have worked on refurbishing both the course and the clubhouse, with continued attention to the condition of the greens.
The on-site clubhouse, Fore Seasons, serves food and drink, and the course also hosts tournaments and private events.
