Great Course

Was not disappointed by the course. Staff was efficient and courteous. Not sure why so many reviews complained about check-in. The guy that checked me in was kind and didn't care at all that I had a GN deal. Players on the course were fun and had no issue allowing me to play through. The course was in excellent shape and the greens were challenging but fair. Would definitely recommend this course.

1st round delight

My son and I went here for the first time. We had a great time. We played the highlands. The course was in great shape and the price was reasonable for a Friday of a holiday weekend. We both liked the course layout. My only real concern was the cart we had was almost impossible to set the brake and this course is super hilly and a lot of situations where the parking brake is needed. We worked around it with creative parking but took a little away from the experience. We would both definitely go back to try the Lowlands and okay another round at the highlands.

Hostility to GN Players

We were “”5 minutes late at the check in desk. (10:50-55) Staff at the desk was talking with the 11:00 check in with my standing there. Staff told me that he just sent the 11;00 out early and that there were two groups ahead of us and we needed to wait until 11:30. These to groups allowed us to skip one and play through

This is not my first run in with staff. Refused to provide separate carts for 2 GN players. Against course rules.

Beautiful Course and Scenery

The course was in very good shape, soft greens and lush fairways. Eagles and birds were flying overhead unfortunately none were experienced on the course itself due to player challenges not course conditions. The pace was great as we had an early Sunday morning tee time and only saw 1 other group during our round so we went at our own pace. I would most certainly suggest this course and would love to play it again.

Lowlands - Wonderful Course

Always a must play for us - a quick drive from Rochester, MN.

The Lowlands is in great shape. The holes are so varied, challenging & fun. They have done a wonderful job with this golf course.

The Highlands is a Beautiful Course

The scenic overviews are expressed in the course name. The course certainly offers numerous challenges, but is also fun. We’ll maintained. The staff is harsh and anti Golf Now. Arrived with a friend and the course refused to provide separate carts. In addition hole 6 our play was held up with a group of 4 and a group of 5” in front. No offer for my part of 2 to play through.

Love the Lowlands

Consistent soft greens, good sand, and great scenery. Greens can get slow, some long walks between holes, and hole 17 bunker is usually flooded, but other than that I have no complaints. Twilight rate Monday-Wednesday makes it well worth it.
