Golf, stay, repeat — reimagining link-side living.

Set on the fairway at Northland Country Club in Duluth, Stay & Play turns a weekend round into a full, shared experience.

With four bedrooms and four baths per unit, the layout comfortably hosts friends or family. The intent is simple: keep everyone together, keep the day’s rhythm intact, and make the transition from last putt to first toast feel seamless.

Duluth

Congdon Park — lake, creek, and historic grounds.

Anchored by Lake Superior and threaded by Tischer Creek, Congdon Park blends grand history with rugged green space. The neighborhood is home to Northland Country Club and the Glensheen Historic Estate, where early-1900s architecture meets gardens, trails, and waterfalls. London Road ties the district into the city, while bridges and footpaths keep things walkable and scenic. It’s a place built for lingering—hiking, casting a line, or stepping onto the tee at first light.

Classic cues, modern clarity — clubhouse heritage meets Lake Superior glass.

The exterior language nods to the club’s classic architecture while introducing contemporary transparency. Floor-to-ceiling windows frame long views to Lake Superior, flooding interiors with daylight and extending the social spaces to the landscape. Inside, warm finishes and clean detailing keep the focus on view and company. The building’s calm palette lets the greens, the sky, and the water do most of the talking—elevating the stay without overwhelming the setting.

The course at your doorstep — from porch to tee in a single step.

By placing lodging on the links, Stay & Play removes the usual gap between where you sleep and where you swing. Guests step from the patio to the fairway, trading shuttles and parking lots for fresh air and easy movement. It’s more than convenience. The closeness to the course—and the quiet of evenings on the edge of it—centers the trip around the present moment, turning a place to stay into part of the round itself.
