Albion Ridges Golf Course - The Granite Nine

The panoramic vistas are the sprawling farmlands that are southwestern Minnesota. With plenty of elevation changes to keep you on your toes (I'm 26 and in decent shape, I'd pass on walking due to the undulation), Albion Ridges is a fun little course. Playing at only ~6300 from the tips it won't challenge you to be long on more than one or two holes, and there are many opportunities for scoring. Many of the holes are set up with heavy risk-reward driver carry scenarios, which I personally love (If you aren't long, don't worry, there are always options around 180 yards). If you hit a well placed drive/approach, you will be contending with red numbers all day.

Overall I would have to say I would play here again, in part because I parred the "Rock" Course....and... let's just say I would like another shot at "Boulder" haha.

Albion is open and at times a bit too much back and forth; however, the early conditions were wonderful.

We had a good time playing this course. On top of that it was a beautiful day. We will return in future.

windy windier windiest
we were glad to finish
course was in good condition considering the time of year
played rock granite
would have been much better with nicer weather

Course was in great condition, you could see course maintenance is a high priority, scenic views, challenging holes

This course is always in excellent condition, Not sure why but the rough was EXTREMELY high and for anyone who struggles with his or her short game it was a bear. normally the rough is not that high but the day we played it was, THICK and TALL, however the course is in GREAT shape. Always enjoy playing at Albion and wish it was closer to the cities.

Nice place to hit wide open shots. Hard to lose a ball.

beautiful golf course in anandale. easy drive from cities and pace of play was nice. several super fun holes and a couple of pretty hard ones. worth the time.

27 Holes in a very serene setting. Staff is very friendly. Clubhouse and all facilities are nice and clean. Course is well maintained. Nice greens and fairways.

Very well maintained course. Greens were perfect and fairways not too short. Course is wide open and a fun time for golfers of any level. Not too many challenges though, make this a rather straight forward round. Few bunkers (none in fairway) short rough, and little water. GRIP IT AND RIP IT!!

course was great , greens challenging, Don the manager was wonderful and very accommodating.

This is no doubt one of the best courses in central Minnesota. Carefully manicured greens, ample fairways, beautiful landscape, a true gem in the rough!

We didn't even know where this course was located but decided to take the drive not knowing what we were getting into. It was the best decision we made. The staff was friendly and got us out on the course as quick as they could.

The course was challenging and it used every aspect of your game. The greens were excellent there was no burn spots, they were soft, sloped, and quick. It challenged your putting in every aspect.

The fairways were in excellent condition and used your game to hit a good tee shot. Left or right into the rough and you were in for a challenge that mostly lead to a bogie +.

Good course and I know we will be back.

Was very surprised with the great condition considering the low rate I paid. Will be back.

Its a well maintained course - the greens are in excellent condition they are always fast and challenging when dry. There is not a lot of mature trees but the hills, traps and water make up for it - the club house is not esthetically pleasing but it works. The course is awesome if you live near it I paid $45 with a cart with a discount + drive more than 35 minutes there are better courses closer to my house for the same with coupon or up to $25 more - the benefit - at $45 the course was nearly empty so it was a quick round on a sunny Saturday in the middle of July.. If the rate was $33-36 with a cart the course should be full..

Great course great value greens were in great shape as were tee boxes and fairways good test for anybody using proper tee's will return for sure

Course was in great shape greens were awesome. GPS very helpful.. Will be back soon!!

We had a great time the course ws also in great shape. The staff was excellent and easy to deal with. We will play again soon, even the drive is long, but well worth it.

I have played this course several times and have always enjoyed playing here. I will come back again.

What a. Great value. I have never seen this course in better condition. The staff was friendly and the GPS in the carts sure helped up play smart and fast.
