You Betcha!Since 1984, thousands of hearty Minnesotans head to Lake Minnetonka for this unique frozen golf event to celebrate our “chilly” winter season. Our great team of volunteers carve out four 9-hole courses right out on the ice. Each year, over 2,200 golfers come from all over the world with their golf clubs and hockey sticks to putt with tennis balls around Wayzata Bay. The 2026 theme is Live from Wayzata... It's the Chilly Open! (SNL inspired), so assemble your squad because there's nothing beats teeing off on ice in ridiculous outfits, cracking up with friends, and owning the lake like it’s your Saturday Night Live stage!In addition to the ticketed golf tournament, there are several other "chilly" activities like Snowga and Snowkiting!

Follow along on our social media channels.Do they sell alcohol at The Chilly Open?Hennepin County Water Patrol and the City of Wayzata prohibit the selling and/or serving of alcoholic beverages at the Chilly Open. Therefore, it is a BYOB event. Think of it as boating on the lake in the summer. You can bring your own, but you can’t buy it. Please also note that the City of Wayzata prohibits open alcoholic beverages in all public areas. This includes the Wayzata Beach and parking lot (or anywhere off the Lake). That being said, please discard all alcoholic beverages while leaving the ice. Do not drink and drive. Use a designated driver or taxi. To summarize, let's be respectful of the lake and Wayzata so we can continue to have this event for many years to come.Can I consume alcohol at this event?You may consume alcohol at this event if you are over 21 years of age.Can I just show up or do I need to buy a ticket in advance?This is a PRE-TICKETED event! Along with that, we ask that you pay when you register. We cannot “reserve” tickets, as this event sells out quickly.Is there actually Chili at the Chilly Open?Is the sky blue? Of course we have chili at the Wayzata Chilly Open! Over 10 restaurants will compete for this year’s trophy and you get to sample them all! For a list of participants, please visit our “Chili Cook-off” page.I’ve seen pictures of elaborate sleds – what’s that all about?You won’t just see crazy golfers out on the ice, some teams even take it to the next level and bring sleds to haul their equipment!Approximately how long does it take to golf all 9 holes?Typically, golfers enjoy their time out on the course as they are meeting new friends and hanging with our awesome sponsors who provide additional games at each hole, so we estimate about an hour and a half.What is the fee per golfer and what does that include?There are two ticket types.The first is the "Amateur" Ticket (the most popular). The Amateur Ticket price is $60 per golfer. This fee includes 9 holes of golf, the official Chilly Open hat, access into the 19th Hole Tent where you can enjoy all-you-can-eat chili from 11 am - 2 pm, live music, prizes & give-a-ways.
