St. Croix National Golf Course is a championship course that is tucked away amongst rolling, wooded hills. This scenic course is one of western Wisconsin's hidden gems. The undulating landscape covered with mature trees can seem intimidating but the layout was designed with spacious fairways and bailout areas that act as an excellent balance to the more challenging elements. The well conditioned greens putt fast and true, acting as a perfect complement to the beautiful scenery. There are strategically placed bunkers and water hazards coming into play but it is the topography will truly test your accuracy as well as a variety of other skills. St. Croix National G.C. also boasts a driving range perched high above a valley that collects the practice shots. It is the perfect preparation for the challenges of the golf course.

Beautiful course

We had a great time playing this course even though the weather didn't cooperate for the first few holes. The course dried out quickly and the staff was very helpful in rescheduling our tee time to a dryer time. This course is amazing with the elevation changes and blind approach shots. Definitely need to ride the brakes on the carts with the sloping cart paths. We will definitely be back!

Great course! The scenery is the best in the metro area. With that said it’s extremely hilly so a challenging course.

Forest and hill style

Fun playing this course with blind shots to fairways and greens on several holes. Challenging, but risks are rewarded.

Bring extra balls

That was one of the hardest courses I’ve ever played. The course is perfect for reminding you why you’re not on tour. Somehow this course has every aspect of the game. Fescue, actual rough, seemingly welcoming fairways, water, and elevation. If you wanna just come out and smack some balls around, pick a new course. This course will challenge you to actually think about each shot. The greens are large, but they are fast. Bring extra balls.

New Favorite Course

I have found my new favorite course within driving distance of the Twin Cities. Played today for the first time. The elevation changes and scenery were incredible. It challenged different aspects of your game on different holes and made every hole fun to play. I will come back for sure and bring others with me.

UP & Down

This course is built on a former ski area. LOTS of blind shots!! Sloping fairways and elevated greens are the norm. Tee boxes were rather beat up.

Favorite course in the twin cities

If I have a visitor from outside of the twin cities, I bring them here. Consistently, I hear from friends out of town that this is the most memorable golf experience they’ve had. The elevation changes are so unique, and the fairways and greens are always in fantastic condition. The range and cart funding technology used in the golf carts is 100% necessary due to so many blind shots, and it makes golf here that much better. Everything is reasonably priced given the condition of the course, amenities it provides, and distance from the twin cities. I always look forward to returning to this course!

Fun, challenging but a bit quirky

The course is well maintained, pretty and the greens a great. Lots of elevation changes, blind approaches and narrow areas to make it challenging. Be prepared to lose a few balls if you spray a few. My only real complaint is with the tee boxes. They were in poor shape and not level. They will create a draw or cut situation without even swinging the club.

A must play!!!!

Being from Myrtle Beach, golf central, I have played many different types of golf courses. I have played courses in North Carolina, Florida, New York, Connecticut, Minnesota, and Wisconsin. I have never played a course quite like this! First, I have to start with the man in the pro shop. Feel bad I forgot his name, but he was super friendly and told me what to look out for on the course. He did say it is a very challenging course. He was correct! I normally shoot in between 92-105. So I am not a really good player, but have been around golf for a long time and this is a playable course for all!! If you are a true beginner I would probably wait on this one. I felt challenged because of the severe slopes and elevation changes. I don’t practice much of that because I am normally on very flat surfaces. You will feel like you are almost playing a round in West Virginia...it’s that steep!! Needless to say I enjoyed every shot!!! The greens where fast and pure! The pace of play was perfect! The GPS on carts was perfect for blind shots. The only thing I was scared of is the very steep downhill rides in the cart. You’ll learn it quick on the first hole. You have to be careful while driving.

I’ve seen the reviews about it being gimmicky and just have to disagree. It’s a the most creative and beautiful landscape I’ve ever seen!!! Love it so much I’m playing again later in the week.
