Dahlgreen Golf Club

About the club

Dahlgreen Golf Club is a championship 18-hole golf course located five miles west of Chaska, Minnesota. Founded in 1969. From 1919 to 1965, William G. and Emma Tessman, Sr. farmed the land on which Dahlgreen Golf Club is built. Of their five children, only Blanche, married to Paul Stans, and Bill, were living in the area when the family was considering what to do with the farm. When Emma suggested a golf course, the “seed” was planted in the minds of Bill, Blanche and Paul. Since the land was located in Dahlgreen Township, Paul suggested adding an “e” and the dream was given a name: Dahlgreen Golf Club. Dahlgreen’s front nine, formerly a farm pasture for dairy cows, opened for limited play in 1968. The “pro shop” was a wooden box nailed to a tree where patrons dropped in their green fees. The original clubhouse was built in 1969. Bill seeded the back nine in the fall of 1971 and in 1972, Dahlgreen Golf Club became an 18-hole course.
