Fun course layout if you aren’t good like me, but the greens are pretty beat up. Still very much so enjoy the course

Greens need maintenance

Really good course. There is some patches on a couple greens that are more yellow than green. Other than that, love the course.

So slow

I appreciate the fact that this course is laid back. It is good for my skill level (low). But 2 hours and 45 min. for 9 holes is unacceptable

Hello and thank you for reviewing the course. We apologize for the delay of play during your round. This is by no means the standard we strive to achieve. With an uncharacteristically full day, we work hard to accommodate everyone who visits our course and allow our guest the chance to complete their rounds. With that in mind, we are working to best control pace and allow everyone to finish in a reasonable amount of time. We will continue to look for ways to improve. Thank you for playing Lost Spur Golf & Event Center. We hope to see you again soon.

Good experience

I was in town for Labor Day weekend and tried this place out on Friday (daytime) before the holiday. The course was in very good condition! The driving range is nice (hit off the grass). Pace of play was not an issue at all. Would definitely play again when I am in town.

Beautiful View, Best Shape

Course was in very good shape - the best shape of any course I’ve played at this year in the Twin Cities. Most courses are still very wet and some even have temporary holes since the greens are too wet to play on. Lost Spur was pretty dry, there were a few wet areas but not many. In a few places it appeared that motorized carts had done some damage to the fairways. But, in total, the course was in good shape. The course is situated in a higher area providing beautiful views of the river below. Another reason why the course isn’t too wet - water can drain off the course to the river area. The course isn’t long but has challenging and interesting holes. I especially enjoyed the elevated tee holes!

Great bang for your bucj

Course wasn’t “fantastic” but was exactly what I was looking for—great value! Had a nice Friday night golfing there after work. Wasn’t super busy and the other (slower) golfers let our group thru a few times.

I signed up for a riding cart but would not allow me to use one.

I was very disappointed because I paid for a riding cart and wasn’t allowed.

Family Friendly

With so many courses in the area still turning away kids, it was refreshing to be welcomed at this course with our kids to spend some quality family time and pass on the sport of Golf. Course need to wake up and be more like Lost Spur!
