New Richmond Golf Club - Old Course

Well, I have wanted to play this course for quite sometime. Golf.now has great deals here so for 19 bucks, it was time. I knew this was going to be in direct competition with the following small scale local courses, Bellwood, Hidden Greens, Spring Valley, Clifton Highlands, Bristol Ridge and Stillwater Oaks, Killkarney and River Falls. Hands down this track beats all of these courses. I was fortunate enough to play with an awesome couple that guided me through where to hit the ball. It was also wise to use an app to guide me as well, there are a few hidden bunkers and creeks. This course had real character. I played from the whites which wasn't much shorter than the blues. The tees were immaculate, fairways were well maintained and the greens were true. The 1st tee leaves the pro shop and you don't see it again until the 13th green, that was an odd feature. There are trees lining fairways, I found my share. Take your medicine and play out, not through. I hit 240-260 off the tee and didn't feel cheated, I had to use all of my clubs. This course has a feel of the Coastal GA and SC courses I have played. The green side bunkers can be used to hide the flags too, beware. I took a heavy dose of middle of the green approaches. This course has no Mickey Mouse holes, straight up. What you see, is what you get, very fair but challenging. I will be back and quite often I hope. For those familiar with the area courses, I would rival this course with White Eagle, Eagle Valley and Prestwick. The price is way better too.

Our threesome played in the early afternoon on a Tuesday. Played in five hours, waiting on every shot from hole #3 onward. I'm writing this review because I had the same pace of play issue my last time playing there in the Fall of 2015 (played in October). This tells me that this is likely a regular problem by the course's regular clientele or I'm just that unlucky? The golf course conditions, layout & staff are always first rate and the course is really enjoyable. Too bad the pace of play is ridiculously slow.

Great greens...

Unfortunately the layout is poor and the pace of play is the worst i've ever experienced (and i've played inver hills on the weekend).

Over 2 hours to play 4 - 9, midday mid week...unacceptable.

Very old clientele who played as if they were trying to win a major, and the rangers didn't say a word. Great greens but life is too short.

Greens are fast, but true which is what I like. I could not afford to golf New Richmond if not for Golf now.com The yardages from the score card are very helpfull

Fun golf course. It was in great shape. The only bad was hitting of the mats at the driving range. Other than that it was a great time and I will be going back.

Great course but must keep in fairway to score.

Will be back

This is an under rated gem. The creek running through the front nine is picturesque and the conditions are great. The only thing that held up our pace was a few struggling holes for people in our group. Always my first choice in the area for quality and value.

We found the course to be in great shape. This is early in the season for the location and they did a great job getting the track

ready for play. Grass on fairways was lush and the greens run true although just a bit slow.

We play again, especially with a hot deal price it was a very good value.

Very nice golf course which requires brains not brawn.

Great course! Beautiful! Greens in great shape. Will play it again next year.

Really enjoyed my round course was in great shape. I will play this course again. Playing straight is a real plus.

Played in some rain and wet conditions. Good greens but areated so less than optimal

I was impressed with the layout of this course. Through pine and evergreens, it is quite picturesque and holes are interesting. Unfortunately they just aerated the greens, so putting was a bit of a joke. Please, please, please inform players with the appropriate RED exclamation point that gives players the knowledge of an "aeration alert" before they book tee times!! With so many choices on goifnow.com, this will be most helpful in making decisions on what course to play. Thanks.

Great condition and good layout! Staff is very friendly. I am a scratch golfer and I would recommend this course to anyone.

New Richmond is a mature course with a challenging layout and variety in the holes. Having fully grown trees helps the difficulty of the holes and forces you to play smart. One of the nicer courses in the area.

Excellent course. Beautiful views! My Grandpa and I will definitely be back. Thanks!

The course was pretty standard but the greens were outstanding and challenging.
Was very slow play for first 12 holes, then group in front stopped as did the twosome I was paired with. The foursome in front and twosome I was with were elderly and not in a hurry at all. Maybe it's generally faster play.
Look for deals online, I got a great rate.

Make the drive to new Richmond, it's well worth it.been one of our favorite courses for years. Beautifully typography and fast greens. A traditional old time golf course!

The course was in now nice shape for 4-25 and the course plays very fair.
The carts are electric and smooth.
Greens are running kind of slow when we played but can get very quick when cut short.
I like the course and drive from the twin cities to play it when I can snag a hot deal on Golf now.

This was our first time playing at the New Richmond Golf Club, but we thoroughly enjoyed it. The staff was great, the course was in wonderful shape and we were able to golf as just our two-some without being paired with another group. Overall, my boyfriend and I left saying to ourselves that we will definitely be back soon!
