Bristol Ridge Golf Course
Rating Snapshot
About
Just a short drive from the Twin Cities, Bristol Ridge Golf Course is a championship course that is conveniently located for a getaway that doesn't involve too much of a time investment. The rolling terrain provides a good amount of challenge while also being player friendly enough for beginners. The tree-lined fairways tumble across the natural contours of the land, which also helped determine the strategic placement of the bunkers. Despite being quite hilly, the golf course is pleasantly walkable. There are also water hazards that come into play on a few holes. The well conditioned greens provide smooth, fast putting surfaces. Each hole has a different character and most are anything but straightforward. Bristol Ridge Golf Course's 11th hole is short but memorable with an almost-island green, surrounded by water on three sides.

Fun course with a great layout.
This course has good character as the holes have a nice layout...with the exception of number 5. Number 5 is a par 5 and it is by far the worst hole I have ever played...you will see why when you get to it. To start off, the fairway is relatively tight on your drive as you have to keep your shot on the left side of the fairway to have any decent look on your second shot. Your second shot is not fun either as everything slopes severely to the left (towards the rough and the trees/hazard) and more than likely you will not be able to see the pin and this hole has a good right dogleg. I have played this course about 6 times and the best position I have been in after my drive was in the trees on the left side (almost in the hazard) and I luckily had a shot and could see the pin. For the third shot, you will more than likely be hitting to a blind/uphill green. If you know what you are doing, this is not a really hard hole but it is still by far the worst hole I have every played/seen and I have played a lot of courses. I have not found one person that disagrees with this. Other than the fifth hole, the course is very fun to play. Typically you can play in 3.5-4 hours but this time it took 4.75 hours.
Good mix of terrain
Fun course and good mix of carries, elevated tees and nice greens. conditions were great and pace of play was quick. can't go wrong playing for $25 at Bristol.
Pretty challenging course. Ball striking and distance control will help you.
Try Bristal Ridge!!!
Bristol Ridge is a relatively easy drive from the Twin Cities and well worth the trip! Fun layout, usually in good condition with a cordial staff. Good value for the money when booked on GolfNow.
The course was in great shape!
The course was in great shape! It is amazing especially with the extended unusual cool weather we've been having in the midwest! The high was in the low 60's on June 2!!
Easy drive from St. Paul, enjoyable course
Very enjoyable course. Not to challenging yet requires some level of thought and planning. I like the layout, the length and design. Have played this course probably 20 times and find it fun and relaxing each time.
Great course with challenging features...
This course is in great condition, with greens that are fast yet fair. This course rewards you for staying in the fairways and makes you pay if you spray it off the tee. This is a challenging yet fair course, with the best bang for your buck. Would definitely recommend to anyone.
Nicest Course Ive Ever Played
This course is so peaceful and has great visuals. I've paid upwards of 200 dollars per round at other courses and none of them seem as nice as this place, NO KIDDING! The greens are fast and true, the fairways are plush, and they have great twilight rates.
Good value. Unique course.
While this course is rather long with a few par 4's exceeding 440 yards it is well designed and fun to play. I went early in the year and the course was in pretty good shape. With the hot deal of the week I only paid $32 for two people and a cart to golf all 18 holes.
One of my 5 favorite courses.
The course is in excellent condition for this early in the year as it was all last summer. Challenging yet fair to all skill levels. Worth the drive just to enjoy the beautiful rolling and heavily wood landscape. Don't miss playing this gem.
Beautiful wooded course.
Greens and fairways were in excellent condition for this early in the year. There are some blind tee shots, but the approach shots to greens are clear and scenic. Challenges are: undulating fairways and greens, heavy woods line many holes, minimal bunkers, and water on 7-9 holes.
Review
I was surprised to find out the course was in good condition and rather challenging.
