December Golf at its best

Super Moon, Hot Air Balloons, Decent pace. Greens were all thawed but 12. I hit a flop on 12 that bounded off the green into the corn field. Starter told us to not walk on the ponds. Surreal.

Great team at Loggers. They are kind and friendly.

Great Value / Great Staff

Obviously we took advantage of the end of season golf rates and beer specials so may not be the golf same during the summer, but overall value was tremendous. Staff was awesome from clubhouse to first hole checkin getting a frost delay back on track by the time we tees off. Course was in amazing condition for the end of the season and the course layout for us first time players was excellent. I’ll be back next spring!

Thank you for the great review. The beer prices go up a little during the season, but the course is even better.

Have a great winter.

Solid course, great staff

Really appreciate Loggers Trail staying open to the bitter end of the season for us golf nuts! Course in good shape considering it's mid-November. Club house staff, especially head pro, very friendly/approachable. Course is very pleasurable from the white tees for us duffers (12-14 handicaps). See you next season...happy holidays!

Great Course Getting Better

With its no-frills pro shop/clubhouse, Loggers Trail Golf Course at first glance may turn off some golfers who haven’t played the course. But once they’ve played it, they will understand that this course provides one of the best golf experiences in the East Metro. I had not played the course in quite a while, but was glad to see that it was still open the second week of November. Despite the lateness of the season, the course was in surprisingly good condition, an indication that it must have been playing really great earlier in the year. It’s easy to see that management has been investing in improvements to the course, including putting and chipping greens and practice bunkers. One major improvement was around the long narrow green on hole number 4. There used to be a bunker all along the right side of the green which was often waterlogged and had really deteriorated. Most of the former bunker area is now a grassy collection area and there is a shallow bunker toward the back of the green on the right. I had the opportunity to learn that the sand is well-conditioned and easy to play out of. The par 3 6th hole has a new tee box situated to the right of the middle tees and elevated about six feet above the old tees. This gives a very different look to the tee shot and makes a pin on the left side of the green more accessible. The long cavernous bunker that sits in front of the 15th green, bisecting the fairway, is also being redone and will be made smaller and less foreboding, a change that will save many golfers lots of strokes. My round reminded me of how much I like this course, and I will definitely make sure to play it more often in the next golf season.

Loggers Trail worth the drive!

First time at Loggers Trail. The weather was wet and windy, but the staff and course were warm and welcoming! We were impressed by the course condition, pace of play, and lay out. We talked about it on the back nine and we will definitely make the hour and twenty minute drive to play it again. This course is recommended for anyone, and particularly the golfer that prefers money be spent on the course instead of the club house!

Best Kept Secret

A beautiful course with a nice mix of challenging and some open holes. Love the practice facilities which include a driving range, putting greens, chipping greens and sand traps.

Fall golf, no problem

We thought we'd try a links design course to minimize the leaves, too many courses just can't keep their fairways and greens clear in the fall and I've lost balls even with a drive right down the middle. Too our surprise leaves weren't just scarce, they were nonexistent, unless you put it in the woods or on one of the berms (Yes, I did both) . It wasn't just the absence of leaves, every aspect of the course was in great shape. Tee boxes were good for this late in the season. Fairways and greens were green, no dryed out or dead spots to be seen. And the regulars here must actually practice golf etiquette as ball marks on the greens were almost as few as the leaves. Great course!

Perfect weather and a course in superb condition!

What a pleasure it is to play in the fall on greens that have not been aerated! I've played here several times now and have always enjoyed the experience. I have always found the staff friendly and efficient and the course in excellent shape.

I hope to get at least another couple of rounds in at Logger's Trail before heading south for the winter.

Great Course

Very nice course. Greens were very fast but true. Liked the difference between front 9 and back nine. 4 is a really special hole

Only concern I had was there was a fivesome holding up play. There were 4 different groups on hole 2. I ended up skipping this hole and then pace was better. Not sure if I would have finished before dark if I didn't skip the hole
