Bristol Ridge Golf Course

Everything went well, except for our scores. Very impressed with pace of play. We walked it, but a cart should strongly be considered.

We played for the first time after a weekend of rain, rain, rain. Had a great “HotDeal” but were disappointed that the course was No Carts Allowed that morning due to the rain. There was a tar cart path on the course that looked serviceable for carts, even with the rain, but we didn’t mind the walk. Pass on their old push-carts—old wheels make for more work than carrying your clubs.

Asked the bartender/cook what her favorite food at the clubhouse was and she replied “look at the menu”. Ended up with a burger which was actually pretty decent.

We will be returning on a brighter day. The course was in nice shape.

Course in great shape and greens as good as most semi private courses in the area.

Totally recommend this course if skill level mid 80’s to mid 90’s

Nice course was a Saturday and the grass was quite long.

Greens rolled true, well placed hazards and pin placement.

Bristol Ridge is my "go to" course. Challenging, well maintained and nice staff. Great value, too. Well worth the 45 minute drive from my place in Minneapolis....and even easier with the recent opening of the new St. Croix River bridge.One minor drawback: pace of play can vary quite a bit but, it's usually not a deal.breaker.

The review might be influenced by the fact that I aced hole number 11. My foursome always enjoys this course and for it to be in excellent condition even though it had rained for several hours before we played. We drive 30 to 40 miles to play here and always enjoy ourselves, especially with the ace.

Bristol Ridge is an excellent value and a well laid out course with easy access from the Twin Cities. I found the course enjoyable, well conditioned and generally played there a couple times each summer. The staff was especially helpful and accommodating. While worth the short trip from the Twin Cities.

I've played a number of the courses in the Stillwater / Western WI area and this is my favorite. The combination of a well kept course, challenging layout, and great value bring me back here multiple times per season. Even the range / putting green area are well maintained. In addition, the best little brewery in the area (Oliphant) is only a few miles from the course in Somerset.

The course layout is very nice. They punched the greens a week ago and still are very bumpy. they need more sand on the greens to fill the holes. Other than that the club house is under staffed. golf carts are all over the place when turned in. Also No beverage cart person on a beautiful day. I sure would of liked to have a beverage on the course. One person working the bar and the pro shop.

The course is in good condition. The pace of play was good. Had a wonderful round.

Very challenging course with a lot of narrow fairways. Rough was deep, with large trees blocking many shots not in the fairway. Stay in the fairway if you want to get on the green in regulation. Greens were just aerated so they were in bad shape, that's my only complaint. If the greens were in better condition it would have been 5*, easy.

My friend and I drive from Minneapolis to Turtle Lake casino Thursday night, then played golf at Bristol Ridge in Somerset, WI on Friday Morning. We were pleasantly surprised with the course condition, far better than anything we have played in the Twin Cities for far this season, which is to be expected this early in the season. Definitely a well kept course with solid challenges, we will be back.

As I live in the twin cities, it's a bit of a drive. Technically in Somerset, WI, but basicaly it's New Richmond. I enjoy this course for the layout- I like the mix of par 5s and Par 3s. 14 par 4s gives you a chance make a lot pars.

You do not have to hit it the fairway to score well, but definitely helps. Big greens allow you to recover. If you do not lag putt well, could be a long day on the greens.

Course is usually lush and green, and the price is worth the visit.
