Rum River Hills Golf Club

Yesterday my father and I booked an 8:12 tee time at this course. We live about 45 min away from it. So we woke up and got there 15 minutes early to wake up and stretch before playing. No one was there in the club house or the bar. We sat outside for 20 minutes then talked to the grounds crew to figure out what happened. Apparently the person that works there had an incident. A back up person showstopper up around 8:30 and we didn’t tee off until 8:53. When we got done with our round I went in to talk to the General Manager to explain my frustration. He greeted me with attitude and told me I played the round and payed $20 bucks. He continued to say accident happens there’s nothing he can do about it with attitude. He ended up giving me a free 18 holes but I have to pay the cart fee of $15 bucks. He wasn’t apologetic or owning up to the fact that his business made a mistake. I will not be playing this course again because I had to ask for an apology. Business is business and when your business makes a mistake you should take care of the customer in a respective manner and he failed to do so. If I was 40 minutes late to my tee time do you think he would give me my money back or let me play?

My son and I were looking for a quick round while in MN. Weather was a bit cold and wet at first, better by end of round. Several blind tee shots or sort of awkward angles/club choices (even from the tips). Greens were quite varied in size, but mostly small and often turtle-backed -- made for some very tricky putts and chips. Shots that seemed good would sometimes trickle off. Main issue was that holes were mostly very close; Felt like balls were sailing close-by from other groups, and a couple of our drives were in other fairways. Also a lot of OB -- plenty of bordering yards, and not always obvious where those lines were if you hadn't played there before.

We come to Rum River Hills three or four times a summer. We like the course and it it can be a challenge which we like. Today’s pace was very slow. However, it was a beautiful day and we were not in a hurry.

Easy to find,though signage could be better, easy check in, you can drive carts to car, carts have seen a fair bit of use, our sand bottle was not filled.so no divots filled today, no drinking water on course, no water bucket for towels, pretty easy to find your way, tees have seen lots of use and some beat a fair bit, fairways generally good, bunkers seemed ok, but only in one,greens roll pretty fair but lots of marks and few straight putts, a fair bit of water but seemed manageable,I think this course gets lots of play and therefore the grounds people get a work out trying to keep up the layout makes you have to think some and have to hit a fair number of calculated second shots and the pace was good today

Great way to spend an afternoon. Friendly players, staff and beautiful weather. I’d play it again tomorrow.

Many fairways spread wide open with a few creeks running threw out the course. Very nice and reasonably priced.

Good course for the price, heavy rain shows on fairways, but good layout to give you a challenge

Played the course 3 years ago and it took 6 hours to finish due to some groups ahead that assumed 6 hours of play is normal. Played the course yesterday and it took over 5 hours to finish. The course should take no more than 4 hours based on the length and difficulty of the course. And oh by the way, the check in guy could be friendlier. I simple smile and good morning goes along away.

We went off early with a little rain, so the course played a bit wet. However, we really enjoyed the round. Very playable course with just enough to be challenging. The staff couldn't have been friendlier, from the starter to the beverage cart girls. We finished in just under 4 hours. I will most definitely be playing this course again soon.

Looks like either winter kill or so much rain had the fairways beat up. Dave Perna is awesome at front desk but course needs lots of work.

Excellent course, the staff was extremely friendly and helpful especially in the restaurant. Would have given five stars, but the condition of the fairways was just brutal. After all the rain they received I was surprised they were letting people play some of those holes as they had entire fairways roped off. I would highly recommend this course, the greens were in very good condition for this time of the year. Overall , very satisfied with my round here.

The course was in rough shape. It was packed and people were not being pushed to keep moving. I saw a single walker chipping 7balls on a green and putting the all in while a foursome waited. Some of the holes were packed 3 foursomes deep. Almost 6 hours to golf 18 and waited on every whole. As for the shape of the course, well it was not worth 37 per person.
