Golfer Reviews
Best course in the area by far!
Beautiful sunny day in the seventies and the golfing conditions were spectacular. What a beautiful course layout carved out of the northern Minnesota pines! It’s a great golf course for all abilities and many challenges for all.
Headwaters
Beautiful golf course in excellent shape. Thursday is Men's Day and the Golf Now tee times were after the men. Very slow, so another day would be better.
Nice course
One of the best courses in the area! Friendly staff, we'll manicured greens, mildly challenging
Great day for a rounf
We would definitely recommend and hope to come back. Great course and layout.
Best course in area!
I've played Headwaters probably 10 times. Like every other time I've played it was a very enjoyable round of golf. The conditions were, as usual, pristine and pace of play very good. I especially like that the course layout suits the ability of average golfers, but is still a challenge. This is definitely my go to golf course near home!
Hidden Gem
Challenging and extremely fun course. The number one handicap par 4 number six is spectacular. Eighteen is one of the finest finishing holes in the state with a long drive needed to the 90 degree dogleg left par 5 where the green is guarded by a majestic oak on the left and a green side bunker on ther right. Greens are well manicured. Great attention to details here. In the middle of Lake Country with recreational opportunities abounding.
Fall is a great time of year to play here because of all the trees. A lot of the leaves had fallen, but it was still beautiful.
Beautiful day - beautiful course. The maintenance crew did a wonderful job of getting the leaves off of the fairways.
Excellent Course, for ALL types of Players !
Course provided a fun afternoon of golf. Tee to green, Headwaters GC had everything covered.... Nice tee boxes, plush fairways, nice cart paths, good 'directionals', and greens were in fair shape after a recent dose of Fall treatment (aeration?sp). Would like to play again when greens soften up and back to normal roll.
Awesome scenery and many holes were postcard material. Blue Tees would provide a true test to the lower handicapper, as an increase of 20-30 yds on some of the Par 3's alone would make 'Par' a good score. #6 took us by 'Awe', as you don't see 2/3 of the hole from Tee box. 400+ Par 4 with winding fairway and drop of elevation to a
rather smaller green of MANY undulations. Nowhere on the green provides for a
safe spot to put the cup. If you haven't played Headwaters, you gotta had it to the
Bucket List !
Beautiful course and fun to play
The course is fun and very playable. Large greens and set among large pines. Friendly staff and great experience!!! We will be back
Turtle golf
The course scheduled too many golfers on the course. The tee times were way too close together causing big waits on the front 9. The rangers did nothing to speed up play.
I do blame part of the slow pace on horrible golfers that don't play ready golf on a busy day. The course was in great shape. The cart worked well. Water and snacks were available on the course.
Great course......members don't want you there though.
I have played this course a number of times and I love it. Very playable but not easy, and is always in great shape. The downside is that it is semi-private so a lot of the golfers are "members" and seem to not appreciate non-locals playing there. I have been treated very rudely by other golfers almost every time I play here.
Wow! A well-kept beauty to play...
This is absolutely one of the nicest courses in the lakes country, outside of the high-end Brainerd courses. Front 9 is easy to walk. Back 9 has some large elevation changes that make having a cart nice. 5 sets of tees provides plenty of options for all ages and abilities. Treat yourself to some real northwoods fun!
Always outstanding
Headwaters GC is my favorite course in the Park Rapids/Walker area. If compares favorably to the best courses in the Brainerd Lakes area…fun layout, great conditions, really good value (especially if you have a golfnow.com discount or an International Golf Club card). All the holes are fun to play. No stupid holes like on many courses. It includes a few "grip it and rip it" holes for the big hitters, plus some nice elevation changes. The greens are fairly fast, and always seem to putt really true. Enjoy!
I forgot to add that the photos shown on this website are not at all what the course looks like. Headwaters has beautiful, lush, rolling fairways surrounded (about half the time) by mature pine forests. The pictures here look more like a barren farm course.
