Nice greens

The course itself was nice and simple. The par 3 tee areas were in need of grass seed. The greens were in great shape. It was the first time we played here, really busy, had to wait on every hole. Took over 5 hours to play 18. The club house was really rustic. It had only 1 working restroom for everyone and food options were poor.

Thanks for coming out Bubba. Sorry you didn't have a great time. We had our ladies interclub tournament that day. Pace of play is typically not an issue out here. We hope you'll give us another chance. Thanks for coming out.

I have been playing at Loggers Trail for a number of years and i have always considered it to be one of my favorite local courses. The course and greens are very well maintained and the staff is great. Holes are laid out well and overall the course plays very fair. Highly recommend.

Loggers Trail - Nice Track

Are you a golfer or a country club snob? If you're a golfer, you should like this course. Choose the correct set of tees for yourself and you should enjoy the round. It's more of links style course with lots of mounds lining the fairways. The fairways and greens are in very good shape. Most greens are fairly flat so don't expect lots of undulations like Augusta. I'm sure on windy days this course will give you more than enough challenges. As for you country club snobs, please go elsewhere. There is no fancy club house here. No showers, no granite counter tops, no marble floors, nothing fancy anywhere. The clubhouse is as basic as it gets, but that's fine with me. There is a snack shop, but don't expect white linens. I'd go again, and I'd recommend it to my friends. Enjoy!

Fun to Play

This course offers challenges of grass covered dunes, winding creek beds and challenging sand traps but still seems very playable even to the high handicap golfer. Sand traps were a little rugged with pebbles and needed racking. Greens were general quite fast and somewhat challenging to read. Enjoyed the round.

Mark thank you for the review. We rarely have pace of play issues. Yesterday we did indeed have some issues. We had a small tournament/group out with some people that don't golf all that often. So while we had a ranger on we couldn't get them all moving. Mark we'd love to invite you back and have you play the course when the pace isn't an issue. Email me at tmatsche@loggerstrail.com and we'll set something up to make you happy.

"How was your golf round" you asked...

To answer the question - Horrible. However I believe the course will recover nicely from my hacking.

To be honest, my son and I really enjoy this course and have played it several times together. The course is not easy but fair with well defined target areas to hit to with an appropriate punishment if you stray too far. Multiple tees make the course suitable for golfers of all levels above beginner. Tees, fairways, bunkers, and greens were all in excellent condition. Nice driving range and practice area.

Mistake

I had an unexpected free afternoon on a business trip. This place was close and reasonable so I decided to play. First impression of the facilities was a bit of a shock. I thought I had accidentally pulled up to the maintenance shack. It didn't improve from there. The guy who checked me in, (I wish I had gotten his name), was very anxious to use his authority. My time was 1:03 and he was adamant about not starting early. I assumed he would be pairing me up with others so it made sense. I had an hour so I hit some balls and putted a bit then headed to the tee area about 20 minutes early. I stood there alone for about 15 minutes and didn't see another soul. I walked back to the "clubhouse" and asked if I should just go. It was a different guy who laughed a bit and said to go. I played alone and didn't see anybody until 7. The course is poorly marked, directional signage almost non-existant, and the only yardage markers were the red white and blue stones in the fairway. The course is not in the Golf Logix library either. The course conditions reflected a tight budget with every possible corner cut. I quit after 14 because it just wasn't enjoyable. This should be high on your list of Minnesota Courses to Avoid!

I thought the yardage markers(played from blacks) were perfect when I played there my first time on Monday! Loggers Trail I absolutely love your course and I don't want you to let this review get you down! I will definitely be coming back very soon! They have one of the most fun ranges I have been too! And the clubhouse doesn't make the course! 5 Stars in my book!

Beautiful course

I drove by this course many times when I lived in the general area but never played it. It's a very nice course and well maintained. I definitely will be back.

It's a challenging course with lots of mounds, woods, and well laid out.

Best bang for your buck in the twin cities

I recently set up a golf outing for 20 players at Loggers Trail, and our experience couldn't have gone smoother.

I reached out to Loggers via their "contact us" page on their website with low expectations of getting a timely response, as is the case when inquiring through similar channels at other golf courses, but I received an email from the GM by that night asking how he could help set this up.

In a matter of 2 emails, Tim @ Loggers booked a block of 5 tee times for me and my friends at a prime tee time block, 9:30 am - 10:10 am on a saturday, and even went out of his way to ask if we wanted to have contests like longest drive & closest to pin set up on the course for our group. I was blown away by how responsive and accommodating Tim and his staff to our group.

Also, I firmly believe Loggers Trail is the best course in the twin cities at its price. it seems golfers are going to pay $50-$70 for a round with a cart on a saturday/sunday morning, and I think you'll be hard pressed to find a golf course with as much character, i.e. the sharp dog legs & pronounced contours and shapes of the greens, as Loggers has to offer.

All in all I couldn't give Loggers Trail GC a higher recommendation.

Other than it was 40 outside the conditions were great. The fairways were well maintained and the greens were in good shape. I would recommend it to anyone looking to play a links style course.

Good course for any level player. Can play long, crazy long and the white tees are fair for the average player.

I've been playing here for several years and love

Loggers is a very nice course. The layout is fair, meaning the course plays fair unless you hit really bad shots. The greens are always nice, fast and smooth.

Great Layout

Course has a variety of holes, mostly links but a handful of hole where you would think you were in the north woods. Greens were pure but running a little too fast for windy conditions, virtually impossible to stop the ball by the hole.

Good course

First time I played this course. I am an average golfer who appreciates a challenging layout and good greens. This course did not disappoint!

Fun layout with greens that were true, running about an 8 stimp and soft enough to grab your ball.

The shack was minimal and if you want more then a hotdog you will need to head down the road.

I would recommend and will definatly put this on my hit list for next year.

Wonderful

Sure the clubhouse leaves a bit to be desired, but it's obvious the money goes back into the holes you pay to play on. I'd rather play a great course and relax in a small clubhouse, than play an awful one and complain about it in a posh golf palace. Challenging from any tee, great holes, tricky greens. This is far and away the best course between the St. Croix River and Minneapolis. As a frequent patron I hope nobody believes my review so I can enjoy this gem all to myself.
