Brotherhood, Philanthropy & Fun for Over a Century

Osman Shrine is a charity in Eagan, home to the Osman Shriners, a men's fraternal group that backs Shriners Hospitals for Children. The group says it started in 1886. It moved out of downtown St. Paul in 1969, when it bought the old Lost Spur Country Club.

Its website names the Twin Cities Shriners Children's Clinic in Woodbury as a place it gives special attention. Eagan had 67,109 residents in 2025 per the Census Bureau, and it sits in Dakota County. The median home in town was built in 1988, per the American Community Survey (2024).

Most folks around here know the place for its events center. The group describes a 19,000 square foot banquet hall, built in 2011, and a public 9-hole executive golf course on the same grounds. The office keeps weekday hours, 9 to 5.

The Shrine reports almost 900 members. It lists clubs and parade units across Minnesota, in towns like Rochester, Mankato and St. Cloud. Units include clowns, a pipe band and motorcycle riders, so you may spot them in a parade before you ever see the building.

Through the year the group runs 5k runs, golf tournaments and sledding parties for members and their families. It holds a 4.0 rating from 61 Google reviews.

Reviewers mention the food and the service at banquets most, with class reunions and family gatherings among the events they describe. A few one-star reviews come from people unhappy with the group.

New to Eagan? You could book the hall for a reunion or an anniversary dinner, or just head over and play the public nine holes at the Lost Spur.
