Welcome to Le Sueur Country Club. Established in 1926, our club has a rich history that dates back to its inception. It all began when Dr. R. M. Kraft, Ben Schlegel, and Paul Eastwood, Sr. were having a picnic dinner and discussing the idea of building a golf club in Le Sueur. They saw it as a way for the town to keep up with the times and decided to explore the possibility. With little knowledge of the game, they enlisted the help of Ray Pefferlie, the owner of Rexall Drug store in town, who was known to be familiar with golf. Together, the four of them examined the proposed location on Ben Schlegel's farm east of town. Convinced by Ray's assessment, they decided to move forward with their plan. Gathering a group of twenty-five individuals who were willing to contribute both money and time, they rented the old cornfield for a year to test the feasibility of the golf course. The first task was to clear the field of corn stalks, which they accomplished with hoes and pitchforks. Ebbie Gilbertson, a golfer with prior experience, was entrusted with designing the nine-hole layout. With sand and a tin cup added to each "green," the Le Sueur golf club was ready for business. Despite the initial challenges of finding people knowledgeable about golf in the town, the club gained popularity over time. More and more individuals became interested in the sport, and the Le Sueur golf club thrived. As the grass grew the following spring, a group of approximately twenty members spent an entire afternoon mowing the fields with their own lawn mowers, ensuring the course was well-maintained. The Le Sueur golf course is not just a place for golf enthusiasts but also a social hub where friends can gather, enjoy good food, and appreciate the pleasant surroundings. It serves as a meeting place for the people of the Minnesota River Valley, fostering a sense of community and friendship among its members. With its fascinating history and welcoming atmosphere, Le Sueur Country Club stands as a testament to the enduring spirit and passion for golf in our community. Come and experience the beauty and camaraderie that our golf course has to offer.
