NEW LONDON, Minn. (Oct. 7, 2025) – Tepetonka Club has announced the launch of Tepetonka Ranch, a four-season destination located just two miles south of the club. Designed as an exclusive retreat for members and their guests, the ranch offers pheasant hunting, sporting clays, hiking, and snow sports. During the golf season, the property will also host golf and outdoor recreation youth development programs for a nationally recognized foundation.

Spanning 140 acres, Tepetonka Ranch expands the club's growing collection of member amenities, joining Tepetonka Club and Tepetonka Beach Club on Green Lake to provide year-round recreation and hospitality experiences.

The ranch features a 5,200-square-foot clubhouse-style home, a two-level hobby barn, and a rustic cabin overlooking the landscape, visible from Tepetonka Club's 8th hole. Miles of scenic trails make it an ideal destination for retreats, corporate gatherings, family events, and outdoor adventures throughout the fall, winter, and spring.

"I grew up hunting and fishing in this area, and I can't wait for our members and their guests to enjoy the outdoor culture of our community," said Mark Haugejorde, CEO of Tepetonka Club. "We are very excited to launch Tepetonka Ranch as we add to the wide array of fun and camaraderie that comes with membership."

The ranch's world-class sporting clays course will be designed in collaboration with Joe Beditz, National Golf Foundation Executive Chairman, avid shooter, and national champion, who will serve as the project's design consultant.

Tepetonka Club is situated on a picturesque 228-acre property approximately 90 miles west of the Twin Cities. Its championship 18-hole course winds through natural moraines and alongside Shakopee Creek, complemented by a 9-hole short course known as "The Gjallarhorn." Designed by the acclaimed Australian architecture firm OCM Golf, both courses are currently in the grow-in phase and are scheduled to open in 2026.

About: Brian Weis

While Brian Weis has made a name for himself in the golf world, he also appreciates the finer things in life - like a world-class spa treatment after a grueling 18 holes (or even after a casual round where the only thing working hard was his golf cart). A self-proclaimed "golfer who enjoys relaxation more than practice," Brian has developed a deep appreciation for massages that unknot his questionable swing mechanics, saunas that sweat out a few too many post-round drinks, and infinity pools with views as stunning as a well-manicured par 3.

Brian’s spa journey began as a reluctant tag-along to couples' massages and resort spa packages but quickly evolved into a full-fledged appreciation for hot stone therapy, deep-tissue recovery, and the occasional seaweed wrap (don’t knock it till you try it). Now, he seeks out the best spa retreats, thermal baths, and relaxation havens wherever his travels take him, whether it's a luxury golf resort with a five-star spa or a hidden wellness gem perfect for unwinding in style.

On SpaTrips.com, Brian shares his experiences, reviews, and insider tips on the best places to soothe sore muscles, indulge in rejuvenating treatments, and find true relaxation, whether you're a hardcore golfer in need of recovery or just someone looking for the ultimate escape. After all, what’s the point of a bucket list golf trip if you can’t top it off with an expert massage, a hot soak, and maybe even a ridiculously plush robe"
