Treasurer / Finance Committee Chair

Hi, my name is Jon Birkeland, a member of the Club since 2011. I grew up in the Dakotas and moved to Hermantown over 25 years ago with my wife, Lana. We have 3 grown children so we are empty nesters with our energetic 2 labs. For work, I am a 3rd generation banker and have been the commercial banking manager at Bell Bank-Duluth since helping start the branch in 1999. When I’m not working, we enjoy spending time at our cabin, traveling, and spending time with family & friends. Golf has been a lifelong obsession. I think about this game every day so someday I would like to dedicate more time to actually playing it! NCC is a true gem and we as members are so fortunate call this amazing course our home track. Hope to see you at the Club!

Secretary / Membership and F&B Committee Chair

Patty McNulty is a lifelong Duluthian and nearly lifelong member of Northland Country Club. Her family joined Northland when she was 5. She grew up swimming at the pool, enjoying the old traditional Fourth of July celebrations at Northland and even took ballroom dance classes here when she was in 7th and 8th grade. The dance classes didn't help her with her lack of rhythm. She's an active golfer with other Northland women golfers - who keep a sense of humor about the game and don't take it too seriously. Throughout the years Patty has made great friendships through Northland and enjoys the social aspect of membership. Patty serves as the Food and Beverage Chair on the Board of Directors and hopes to help support the Club to become an important part of the lives of all members and their families.

Director / Pool & Tennis and House Committee Chair

Northland has become a second home for my family. My two children Nora and Greta, and my husband, Matt, love participating in all aspects of the club. Becoming a board member and chair of the pool and tennis committee has been a great way to give back to the place I love so dearly. My goal in serving the members is to ensure we promote and use all of the club's assets so members can maximize their membership. My professional life keeps me busy as the Head Coach of the UMD Women's Tennis Team, Head Coach of the Hermantown Varsity Boys and Girls Tennis Team, as well as working with Hermantown Community Education. In my personal life, I enjoy new adventures and discovering new activities. Between beekeeping, grape growing, hiking and taking my girls on adventures, we find ourselves at NCC as often as possible.
