Architect is revamping all greens and using 20 acres of new land at former Burl Oaks Golf Club

Burl Oaks Golf Club in Minnetrista, Minnesota, has rebranded itself as Crooked Water Golf Club. The rebrand includes a refresh of the club’s golf facilities by Jay Blasi, including a redesign of the 18-hole course, a new nine-hole par-three layout and a revamp of the practice facility.
“Excitement is building as our club enters a new chapter,” said Steve David, Crooked Water’s general manager and director of golf. “Jay Blasi is elevating the golf experience with a modern redesign and the addition of a short course.”
Blasi is redesigning all greens, expanding fairways, removing trees and using 20 acres of previously unused land. “When it is completed, the course will be completely reworked – no one will recognise it from what was previously there,” he said.
Club president Dave Link said: “The course renovation by Jay Blasi marks an important chapter in our club’s 55-year history. When complete, we are confident the golf course will compete with some of the best in this market. These advancements create a strong foundation for delivering the private club experience our members are looking for today and into the future.”
Renovation work is expected to be complete later this year with a full reopening in 2027.
