CLUB OVERVIEW

Originally founded in 1889 as a sailing club, White Bear Yacht Club holds rich history in the Twin Cities. The original “clubhouse” was a hotel that provided overnight accommodations for members that wished to spend their weekends on beautiful White Bear Lake. In 1912 the Club added a 9-hole course designed by Scottish architect William “Willie” Watson. Although not overly long, the course remains timeless with its unique changes in topography, varied green complexes and serene surroundings just as it was over 100 years ago. The course was voted top 100 by Golf Magazine in 2020, has under 300 members and generates approximately 18,000 rounds annually. It is the mission of White Bear Yacht Club to provide members and guests of the club with an exceptional social, dining, and recreational experience.
