History
Minikahda was founded in 1898 on the hills above the west side of Lake Calhoun. At the time, there were no roads around the lake, so the property extended to the shore of the lake, where there was a boathouse for sailing and other aquatic activities.
Golf
Minikahda owns an 18 hole golf course extending to the south and west of the clubhouse with holes on either side of Excelsior Boulevard that is open to members at any time during the golf season. There is also a putting green, a chipping green, a driving range and an iron range as practice areas.
