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.

Always a Great Rd of Golf

Have played at SCX over 10 times this season. One of the best courses in the metro. Great course, challenging but score-able. Fantastic condition. Pace of play not even in question.

Staff is amazing. They treat their customers so well by going the extra distance to make your experience one to remember. Restaurant is tasteful, offering unique cocktails. Reasonably priced.

In the $50-75 range, no question SCX is #1 in the metro area.

Fantastic Track

I play 100 rounds a year in various states. This course is by far my favorite. Bring a rangefinder that does elevation and have a blast. It's just a beautiful up and down and around experience.

10/10 Just Keeps Getting Better

I’ve played around 15 rds st SCX this summer and every experience is better than the last. SCX is hands down the best all around golf experience in the metro. The course is always in tip top shape, the staff treats you like family and the restaurant offers very good food and drinks.

A ton of value at SCX. I’ll be squeezing in more rds before the snow flys!

Btw, the colors are just about to peak in the St Croix Valley, unbelievable views while you golf!

Top 5 Favorite Course

St. Croix National is a must play course in the area. Phenomenal course conditions with a spectacular view from the brand new clubhouse! There's even a fun '19th hole' challenge at the end of your round for a chance at a grand prize for a hole in one. As you pull in you can see there one of a kind 18 hole putting course! Every year I drive over an hour to make sure I play at least once. Thank you St. Croix National staff for creating a gem of a course and experience!

Love the layout

It’s a dramatic and fun course. The clubhouse, amenities and staff are top notch. The bunkers and tee boxes are in rough shape. The rest of the course played well, although players have not been the best at repairing divots and ball marks. I would play it again for the hot deal price I got.

One of the best courses I've played this year

This course was incredible. I loved the elevated greens. I even got to see a deer with her baby in the middle of the fairway on number 10. It was incredible . I felt that this course fits all golfers. The real good ones can be challenged on a lot of the holes and the average 50 plus scores can also shoot a good round. At first I was skeptical because I have a really bad slice off the tee boxes but it did not really come into play for me on too many of the holes.

Best Public Golf Course - Twin Cities

St Croix National (SCXN) continues to exceed expectations. I’ve now played there 5 times this summer. The course and staff are simply the best around.

Unfortunately, I had missed my original tee time, which was booked through GN. Typically, that’s a lost rd, and lost $$$. I called SCXN and they offered me a tee time the next day, at the same time, for the same cost. WOW! Im so thankful they did, my round was a fantastic experience.

The course is in tip top condition. There's not one iota of concern regarding pace of play and other golfers on the course are welcoming. I think everyone knows how wonderful SCXN is.

The pro shop (PS) team is fantastic. Super accommodating. Before you can even ask them for something, they’re asking you. It’s the little things… I was cleaning my spikes off and staff member came over to say “thank you”. The PS is constantly busy, but the staff takes the extra time for conversation. There’s not another public PS in the area that meets this level of customers service. They also have premium apparel and gear for sale, not just your standard overpriced FJ and Callaway pullover etc. plus they’ve got TP5s in stock, only public course I’ve seen with those :)

The restaurant is awesome. Again, they take the time to ask what you’d like to eat. Idk if I’ve ordered something standard, I like to ask what they can “whip up” on the turn. They always throw ideas at me!

I’ve barely mention the course… because it speaks for its self. She’s a beast, and will likely eat your lunch your first few visits. By my 5th visit, I’m scoring, but still playing (-) on my Strokes Gained.

How the heck do you play hole 14!!!!! Layup, you got 200 into an elevated green. Hammer a drive, and you’re left on a wicked downward hill. And still left with 130-150 back uphill! Absolutely love the challenge.

In the other hand, I almost holed out from 144 on hole 10. Must have been the club sandwhich at the turn.

Don’t think twice, get over to SCXN and experience the best public course in the Twin Cities. Make the experience, engage with the staff and ask questions about the course. They want to go above and beyond for you!

I’ll probably be back next week. See you soon SCXN team!!!
