We’re a social media-driven tourism site that connects Minnesota businesses with new clients who are looking for unforgettable experiences in our beautiful state. Follow our social pages listed below for updates and information about everything our partners have going on!
Like us, many of our partners are small, family-run operations, and we truly enjoy the community we are building across the state. We are grateful for our partners and for the thousands of followers who continue to support us as we grow. What started as an idea to help Minnesota golf courses and resorts gain visibility on social media has expanded every year, including the launch of Northern Greens Golf Collective , a ladies golf and social group focused on fun and connection.
Our social media pages are also the place to be for free rounds of golf and unforgettable lake resort stays, as we regularly post golf and resort giveaways. Our mission is to create and nurture meaningful connections between businesses and people, while promoting the beauty and character of Minnesota along the way. We are passionate about what we do, and we hope you will join us in discovering the great places that make Minnesota special. Thank you for visiting Great Places Minnesota.
Northern Greens Golf Collective was founded in 2024 by Abby Swenson to create a more inclusive and accessible space for women in golf. The idea was sparked by countless conversations with women who wanted to get into the game but didn’t know where to start.
What began as a simple idea quickly grew into a vibrant community where women of all skill levels can connect, learn, and grow through the game. Northern Greens is more than just events—it’s a movement built on friendship, empowerment, and a shared love for golf.
We’re here to make golf feel approachable, social, and supportive—for every woman who wants to play.
