Featured Holes
There are a few holes on our course that are particularly special and deserve to be highlighted due to their spectacular natural beauty. Don’t miss these exceptional views and golf experiences when you plan your outing.
#3 The Walleye
This hole is the first par 3 in the course and it’s located adjacent to a large wetland, which means that bird and other animal sightings are very common. The tee box sits just on the edge of a forest of evergreens and right in front of the box, you’ll find a scenic pond!
#7 The Osprey
This hole has the most stunning views on the course. The tees sit high above its surroundings and offer amazing panoramic views of Lake Vermillion, the hills, and beyond into wild northern Minnesota. Also, it is common to spot Ospreys hunting over the wetland behind this green.
#13 The Muskellunge
Number 13 is the signature hole here at The Wilderness at Fortune Bay. It runs right up to and along the shores of Lake Vermillion, where you’ll spot ducks, loons, eagles, ospreys, and more.
#16 The Eagle
A challenge awaits late in the game at this par 5. The fairway splits into an upper and lower; the upper offers a significant assist if you can get there. The green is perched on a hill high above the surrounding land and offers phenomenal views of large ponds and wetlands.
We are extremely lucky here at The Wilderness at Fortune Bay, we are nestled in one of the most beautiful and scenic spots that a person could ask for. From our beautiful course to our delicious food to our excellent lodging, we do our absolute best to provide an unforgettable experience.
