Braemar Golf Course is a point of civic pride in Edina — a city-owned and operated golf complex that has served the community for decades. With 27 holes across its championship and executive configurations, Braemar offers a facility that competes with private clubs while remaining accessible and welcoming to golfers of every skill level. The course is part of the larger Braemar Park complex, which also includes Braemar Arena, Edina's beloved year-round ice arena — making this corner of the city one of its most active recreational destinations in any season.
The Golf Facility
Braemar Golf Course offers 27 holes of varied terrain, with a combination of championship-length and executive-style play that accommodates players from beginners looking for a friendlier round to experienced golfers working on their game. The facility includes a driving range, practice areas, and a clubhouse with pro shop and dining.
As a municipal course, Braemar is operated by the City of Edina and is open to all — no membership required. Tee times can typically be booked in advance, and rates reflect the public course model that makes the facility one of the more accessible quality golf experiences in the Twin Cities metro.

Braemar Arena — Year-Round Recreation
Braemar Arena is as much an Edina institution as the golf course it sits alongside. The arena operates year-round with multiple ice sheets supporting recreational skating, youth hockey, figure skating, and adult leagues. For visitors and residents who want to round out an outdoor recreation day at Braemar, the arena is a natural companion — especially when the golf season winds down in late fall.
The combination of golf and ice in one facility complex reflects Edina's serious investment in year-round outdoor recreation. Families especially find Braemar Park a destination that accommodates multiple interests in a single visit.
Golf Season & Getting There
Braemar Golf Course typically operates from early spring through late fall, weather permitting. The course sees peak demand on summer weekends, so booking tee times in advance is recommended. Weekday mornings offer a quieter alternative with generally more availability.
Braemar Park is located in the southwest portion of Edina, with parking available on-site. The location is easily accessible by car from most parts of the city and is a short drive from the main dining districts along 50th & France and the Galleria, making a post-round lunch a natural extension of a morning at the course.
