History:  

Cohasset, the railway village of Bass Brook Township, received its name from the town of Cohasset on the east coast of Massachusetts. It is an Indian word, meaning, as noted by Henry Gannett, "fishing promontory," "place of pines," or "young pine trees." A post office was established in 1892; the village was incorporated on February 20, 1902; in 1916 the village of Cohasset and Bass Brook Township were separated; in 1957 residents voted again to become one governmental unit; in 1975 the merger was dissolved, with Bass Brook incorporating as a city in 1992 and Cohasset remaining the post office.

Minnesota golf course architect Joel Goldstrand designed the par 71, 6548 yard course that will challenge even the lowest handicapper. On the signature 18th hole, you'll find it easy to become distracted with trees bordering both sides of the fairway, a brooke guarding the green, and glare bouncing off the sparkling blue waters of Sugar Lake. It is a spectacular finishing hole and a course you'll love to play!
