River & Canyon 18 – The New Premier 18

Everyone is welcome and encouraged to come experience the new Superior National Golf Course! Perfect for scratch players, beginners, and everyone in between, playing a round on the newly renovated ($4.6 million renovation) River and Canyon 18 promises to be the highlight of your North Shore adventures.

New features include Ohio’s Best white sand, five sets of tees, playable roughs, wider fairways and larger greens. Renowned golf course architect Jeffrey Brauer designed the course to provide an enjoyable and challenging experience for all, from beginners to scratch golfers.

River 9

This is the front 9 of the newly renovated Premier 18. This par 35 features five sets of tees and is a straightforward start to the front 9 of your 18-holes of play. On many River holes, you are able to blast a driver off the tee. As the Poplar River cuts through, it comes into play on a few of the holes, making for a challenging, natural water feature. This course is also marked by elevation changes – uphill on holes 2-5, downhill on 6-8, and back uphill on 9.

Canyon 9

The back 9 of the newly renovated Premier 18. Because of the dramatic valley-like terrain carved by the Poplar River, some consider this 9 to be the most beautiful course they’ve ever played. You’ll want to select the right club off the tee to overcome challenges like ravine ponds, the Poplar River, and narrow fairways. The par-36 has five sets of tees, is surrounded by forest, and shows off great views of Lake Superior and the ancient Sawtooth Mountains.

The Mountain 9

Golf in the natural setting of Lake Superior’s Sawtooth Mountains, adjacent to the Superior National Forest. Experience nature’s soundtrack at this Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary. This course is perfect for a quick game of 9 holes or a full 27. FootGolf is also located on this course, welcoming families and groups looking for fun outdoor recreation.

FootGolf at Superior National

FootGolf is a fun new sport that is becoming an international sensation! It’s like golf, but with a soccer ball, kicking the ball down the course to get it into the hole. It is played on the Mountain 9.

It is perfect for families with kids, or active adults looking for a fun, unique activity. A game only takes about an hour-and-a-half.
