Attractions
Pheasant Links
Organizers envisioned an outdoor haven where a select number of sports enthusiasts could hunt for waterfowl and upland birds, shoot sporting clays and play golf on a challenging course—all in one location. After careful consideration, 440 acres (180 ha) of pristine, natural woodlands in southern Minnesota were selected. Abundant with verdant marshlands and lush landscapes, this site is also home to a private lodge.
Soon after opening its doors in 2006, Diamond Jo purchased Arrowhead Golf Course located just outside Emmons, Minnesota. Once purchased, organizers spent time renovating everything from facilities to fairways, reopening the course as Pheasant Links Golf and Hunting Preserve. Pheasant Links consists of a nine-hole Scottish links-style course offering multiple tee boxes per hole.
Along with golf, Pheasant Links offers sporting clays stations located throughout the golf course. Pheasant Links is also a private hunting preserve with over 400 acres (160 ha) of huntable land with game including pheasant, quail, and chukar. Deer hunting is also offered.
Pheasant Links is offered as a perk only for eligible regular casino customers.
