Some lakes are for fishing. Lake Hazeltine is for looking at: open water framing one of the most famous golf courses in America.
Lake Hazeltine sits in the northern part of Chaska, between Highway 41 and Audubon Road. It’s named for the Hazeltine family, among the area’s first settlers, and Hazeltine National Golf Club wraps along its south side.
Here’s what to know if you’re thinking about living nearby.
Around the lake
Businesses line the north side, with homes, apartments and the golf course around the rest of the shore. It isn’t known as a fishing lake; bluegill, bullheads, green sunfish and minnows are the usual catch. Read more in Chaska golf courses.
Neighborhoods near the water include Hazeltine Estates, Carvers Green and Autumn Woods North.
What buyers check before they tour
- Shoreline: Ask about frontage, dock rights and any shoreland rules before you plan changes near the water.
- Golf nearby: For homes near Hazeltine National, ask about course easements and stray-ball exposure.
- Condition: Roof, windows, mechanicals and drainage tell you more about a home’s next ten years than the paint color does. Plan a professional inspection.
