Since 1964, Braemar Golf Course has been one of the most popular public golf courses in the United States. It has been ranked as the #1 Public Golf Course in Minnesota by Golf Digest[1] and among the top 75 in the nation in the same category. Golf for Women Magazine named Braemar one of its top "100 Women Friendly Courses".[2]

The course is owned by the City of Edina, Minnesota a first-ring suburban community of Minneapolis.

Sister Kenny Golf Program

Braemar has been a partner with the Sister Kenny Rehabilitation Institute since the 1980s. With the help of many of its teaching professionals, the course has helped develop a golf program that is nationally recognized for meeting the needs of people with disabilities.[3] Sister Kenny golfers have had spinal cord injuries, amputations, strokes, polio, arthritis and other physical disabilities.

Throughout the summer, the league meets for weekly play on Braemar's nine-hole executive course. Free lessons from a course pro accompany the membership. At the end of the year, members participate in a nine or eighteen-hole tournament.
