Status Update 12.20.25 for Tractor Fields

Here is a 12.20.25 status update for Tractor Fields Golf Club:

Overview

Tractor Fields Golf Club is a future golf development project in Minnesota, currently under planning. It is being developed by a team that includes PGA TOUR Hall of Fame member and Top 100 golf course designer Tom Lehman and Minnesota Golf Hall of Fame member Dave Tentis, PGA along with the current owner, Brooks Ellingson and Kevin Unterreiner, owner of TwinCitiesGolf.com.

The project involves the acquisition and re-design of an existing golf course (Timber Creek GC in Watertown, MN), with a goal of creating a distinctive, high-quality golf experience grounded in the agricultural heritage of the land.

The name “Tractor Fields” is intentional: it reflects the farmland and agricultural history of the property along with tribute to the machines that have shaped that land for generations. The design philosophy will remain consistent with Lehman’s other highly accredited designs - meaning providing a player experience that is enjoyable, memorable and visually appealing.

Location

The course will be developed on the site of the existing Timber Creek Golf Course in Watertown, Minnesota, which is about 45 minutes west of the Minneapolis-St. Paul airport.
