Headwaters Golf Club

Pone of my favorite courses to play. Greens in terrific condition. Fairways are lush. Love the new patio with new furniture and outdoor bar.

My only complaint was the people wouldn’t let me play through. First group I caught did immediately. Then I waited for a twosome every shot for 3-4 holes till they caught up to a foursome and then they tell me it’s all backed up. Needed a Ranger to pick up pace of play. Could’ve played the course twice in the time it took waiting for them.

Great course and I praise the grounds crew for the job they do

My family and I visit Park Rapids annually. Headwaters is a place we play annually. The course is in outstanding condition. The new patio is gorgeous and makes the turns and trip over to Hole 13 more enjoyable. We were very disappointed in the staff. It started with the person that checked us in. There was no welcome, seemed annoyed at having to check us in, and failed to give us cart keys. While on the course the “player assistant” came by at hole 7. The pace of play was doing great. He asked what tee time we were, no comment beyond that, and then drove away. The next hole is a par 3 that was playing long due to wind. My brother happened to hit a ball short in the rough. There were no rips, signs, or notes on the scorecard you couldn’t drive out to the ball. The player assistant came out and shouted at us that we needed to be on the path for that hole. While on the green the same employee drove right through where we were, not great to do something you just told us we could not do. I would absolutely recommend the course to anyone but we were very disappointed in the staff’s friendliness and overall actions.

Headwaters is an excellent course to play for all skill levels. Outdoor area patio newly remodeled and is breath taking! Course views from patio encompasses 3 greens while you enjoy a meal or beverage.

MGA Mag. has rated this course as the 6th best public course in the State of Minnesota. I would argue that positioning but truly in the top 15. The re-design from 20 years ago is remarkable. The improvements they recently finished to the clubhouse is beautiful. Kudos to the management for that addition.

Headwaters is a well-run course. Fabulous clubhouse, patio, and bar. We highly recommend this course—definitely worth the trip to Park Rapids!

4 of us played Headwaters on July 5th.

The course was in great shape. The fairways were lush, but short, the greens were super, but challenging.

Overall, we all really enjoyed the golf course and look forward to playing it again, soon!

Headwaters is a beautiful course! The fairways are like carpet. The greens are fast!!. Love the new patio.

Pace of play excellent, course in great shape...greens extremely fast...Love this course!

Windy day, but did not affect play much because of all the tree lined fairways.

This is a great course. Big boomers might suggest that some holes are too short but no one can argue about the conditions of this course. We played inside 4 hours. The greens were in great condition and they were fast. The fairways were in excellent condition as well. They have a nice little clubhouse and outside patio, coolers for beverages on the carts and the carts were electric too, a welcomed silence. Be careful where you hit it on the greens, above the hole is an immediate challenge for putting. The par threes are memorable and the par 5s give nice opportunities for a birdie. No doubt this course is the best bang for the buck that I’ve played in the state. Get out and enjoy this northern MN gem.

Headwaters is a gorgeous course winding through the pine and birch treess. The conditions are always great, and the layout is one that you'd be happy to play every day. The greens are fairly fast, and roll beautifully. You'll find nice elevation changes, a par 3 over water, and plenty of chances to grip it and rip it.
