Great greens

This course is moderate in difficulty - and a bit short - but the greens are great and Scott is exceptional to work with in the clubhouse.

Good Value

I can't believe they stay in business at these rates, only $22 for 18 & cart. Decent layout and decent conditions. I'll be happy to play here again

Beautiful setting

Generally excellent but sand traps are dreadful with little sand and that is most mostly dirt/ sand mixture. A few holes have received fresh sand. Many more in need.

Great out here

Loved this place. Well maintained and always friendly people. Sometimes a little slow to get your golf and drinks and get on coarse depending on how many staff are working. So as long as your not rushed its great. Plays quick once out on coarse and they will allow ride along so my wife can come and very reasonably ride along fee.

Nice Minnesota course

Rolling terrain, nice greens. Plays down to a low area on th aback nine which adds some variety. I played in the afternoon mid-week, and the course was wide open. Recommended when in the Rochester area.
