First time playing here and really enjoyed the layout and the challenge of the course. Unfortunately the greens were recently punched but will definitely return in prime season to try again.

Nice Front, but don't look Behind!

Reading reviews from others, Dad and I decided to make a day of it coming out here from the southwest Metro. The clubhouse was nice and their hot dogs were very good.

But the course itself (behind the clubhouse) seemed beat up from lack of sun on tree-heavy holes. It was also very difficult from the fact that sight lines were poor from the elevation changes, no forgiveness for off-line hits, and the fairway and rough were hard to distinguish from afar. The affordable price offsets any shortcomings, but definitely not my first choice to play up north.

One of the best values around

Love the course and for the price it's the best buy anywhere near the Twin Cities. Very pretty and wooded too. I also like that it's not as busy

First play

Established course with mature trees. Lots of elevation changes and dog leg holes. Some holes require something other than driver from the T. The T-boxes were extremely hard. I could not even push my flexible plastic tees into the soil (had to switch to wood tees). Not terribly long but straight drives are important.
