Heritage Links Golf Club

We had a perfect Saturday morning to play this course for the first time. We chose it as it was within driving range of Uptown and had open morning tee times at a reasonable price.

We were expecting a somewhat flatter landscape given the "links" designation. Some design elements were similar to a links-style course (carries over marshes & blind shots), but other elements were missing (e.g., hard wide fairways, penal rough, large undulant greens). Even so, it was an interesting course but really requires a lot of course knowledge (and a detailed guidebook!) to shoot a decent score. My playing partner and I lost a half-dozen balls in wide open areas, -- usually after blind shots -- despite the short rough, which was very frustrating as we also lost a similar number due to poor shots into the ever-present marshland scattered throughout the property.

The clubhouse is very basic, although there were a few tables, a small bar, and basic foodstuffs.

We were paired with a few local semi-pro baseball players who were celebrating the end of their season. All in all, we had a very enjoyable day.

The course was in very good shape. A bit of target golf, especially on the back nine. Fun round

Roughs were a bit long but understandable given our recent weather. All in all I enjoyed the round and was glad I went.

The scorecard/course layout didn’t give enough detail about how to play blind shots. There were several holes where it was unclear what hazards lie ahead because of the hilly terrain.

Course was in great shape! Greens were perfect and fairways were great. The staff is awesome and friendly too!

After teeing off it was really hard to see where to hit the ball to the flag. If your not a LONG ball hitter like my 35 yearly old son.

Cashier very friendly & professional Course in great shape. Course booklet provided very helpful

I thought the course was great lots of blind shots,great shape and good food inside and out ,plus Swannies gear

Fun course, the detailed yardage book was a must for the first time out as there were a lot of blind shots. Not crowded at all. Many of the greeens were not in the best shape, but they putted okay. Staff was very friendly and courteous. Will play here again.

Staff is very friendly and course is in great shape. Recommend playing has some challenging holes.

I like the variety of holes and layout. Very good condition. A few times we did not know where we were heading but it was our first time here, so...

Definitely coming back.

The weather was perfect, 10:00am, and this course had just been mowed. The greens were slow but in perfect condition. Then out of no where a tractor pulling a tank of chemicals rolls up onto the tee box and sprays everything while I'm sitting in my cart. The smell was strong and no way for me not to breath it in.

This is the second time in two years this has happened to me with no warning from the clubhouse.

Why isn't this being done early morning in time for it to dry before golfers begin playing?

This was my first round of golf in Minnesota and

experience was better than expectations. As a visitor from Texas, I didn’t know what to expect.

The course conditions were excellent and the layout challenging. The employees were friendly and helpful. The course was a good challenge for any level of golfer.

I will return to this course on my next trip to the Minneapolis area.
