Prestwick Golf Club at Wedgewood

Course conditions are as nice as most Twin Cities area high end private courses. Great practice facility. Treat yourself to a round here and stay after for great food and drinks on the outside patio overlooking the 18th green.

Prestwick is such an amazing golf course. I love the layout and the conditions of the course are superb. Very friendly staff all around. The food was something to plan on staying after the round. 5 stars and I’ll be back soon! Great pace of play too!

A real gem of a course. Especially love the challenge, fair but challenging. Always groomed to perfection and priced right.

Wow. Prestwick was in better condition than any other high end public course and better than most private clubs I have played this year. Great layout that is enjoyable for all skill levels with a nice variety of holes. Stay for dinner afterwards in their Pub. Outdoor patio overlooking the 18th green is the perfect spot for dinner and drinks. Can't wait to go back.

A Review of Prestwick Golf Course Woodbury MN.

I will not waste my time there unless they have new ownership.

The course is beautiful, but management and help toward customers are nonexistent.

Add Insult to Injury. Please read all of this post.

Oh boy, let me put on my sarcastic hat for this one! Here's a revamped version of your Prestwick Golf Course review, dripping with an insult to injury:

By the way, they refunded the two rounds of golf since we played twelve holes. Initially, they offered thirty-seven dollars to compensate for the loss of play.

They also charged us for a cart but didn't pro-rate that. How considerate of them!

Now, let me tell you, dear readers, I thought I had seen it all, but Prestwick Golf Course truly shattered my expectations. Who could have predicted that a so-called "Premium Course" would treat its customers with such disregard? It's truly remarkable how they managed to provide absolutely no goodwill and never make it right for us to enjoy a round of golf.

All in all, my previous experiences in life failed to prepare me for the sheer level of disappointment that Prestwick Golf Course in Woodbury, MN, delivered. So, if you're looking for a premium experience filled with broken promises and unfulfilled expectations, I highly recommend giving this place a shot. You won't be disappointed—well, at least not in their consistent inability to do right by their customers.

I feel compelled to express my deep disappointment and frustration regarding the recent golf outing at Prestwick Golf Course. As a former business owner, I understand the challenges that can arise, including the possibility of an overbooked course. However, the handling of this situation, the lack of customer service, and the dismissive attitude displayed have left me profoundly dissatisfied.

Firstly, I want to acknowledge the eventual refund of our money. However, it was delayed and required direct contact with the owner two days after they had initially agreed to refund us. They agreed instead of giving the credit on Tuesday, I had to contact them on Thursday to get it done. Furthermore, I doubt the credit would have been given if I had not contacted the owner directly.

Main Story

It is disheartening to think that I had to contact you myself. I understand you are busy, but such a level of customer service falls far below satisfactory standards. I must express my surprise at encountering such arrogance and disdain toward customers, something I have never experienced in any other business. Despite your claim, it is essential to emphasize that our pace of play was not slow. I've chatted with others who said the Rangers were constantly harassing golfers for their speed of play with no one behind them.

Your actions and those of your staff have only highlighted a blatant disregard for the public and a condescending attitude.

To provide perspective, imagine dining at your restaurant, eagerly anticipating a delicious steak. Suddenly, a waiter approaches and demands that we leave immediately, denying us the opportunity to finish our meal or take any leftovers. As a gesture of supposed appreciation, a refund of thirty-five dollars is offered for a two-hundred-dollar steak, with a slight chance of receiving a hamburger. I'm sure you can understand the irony of such an offer. Does this "suffice?" as you mentioned in your note?

It seems that paying a premium price for your course now feels like a poor investment, considering the treatment we received. It is evident that you view yourself as superior to customers like me who may not possess significant financial means. Would you have treated Dick and Brenda the same way? I highly doubt it.

To gain further perspective, I contacted other golf courses and discussed similar scenarios with them. Their unanimous response was a resounding "No." One individual even remarked, "It sounds like you were getting ripped off." This further exemplifies my disappointment and frustration with your response to my concerns. Astonishingly, a golf course accepting payment for two 18-hole rounds with a cart would exhibit such arrogance.

My friend and I were genuinely excited about enjoying a pleasant day of golf, only to be abruptly removed from the course due to a tournament we had no prior knowledge.

Yet, instead of acknowledging the error, we were unjustly blamed. Is this the standard operating procedure at Prestwick Golf Course? The contemptuous tone you and your Pro Shop Employee display is truly perplexing. Such behavior is completely unacceptable for an establishment that relies on paying customers.

To recap the sequence of events for clarity:

1. We teed off promptly at the scheduled time.

2. Delays occurred on the first nine holes due to a group of women impeding our progress.

3. After completing the first nine, we briefly stopped at the clubhouse to purchase some beer, which took only ten minutes.

4. Upon returning to the course to resume play from hole twelve, we were abruptly informed that we had to leave immediately.

5. Your baseless claim that we were playing slowly is simply untrue. Despite the delays caused by others on the course, we made every effort to maintain an appropriate pace of play.

As a result of this treatment, I feel compelled to share my distressing experience. I intend to provide an honest account of our interaction on every golf page and review platform. Your lack of respect for non-member customers is undeniably disgraceful. I sincerely hope other golfers will think twice before entrusting their enjoyment and hard-earned money to Prestwick Golf Course.

It is disheartening that I received your dismissive email instead of keeping your promise. I hope your business thrives, but with such nickel-and-dime tactics, it is questionable whether it will prosper.

My business would have failed if I had treated my clients similarly.

First time out and had nothing to complain about. Can't wait to get back and play again.

First time playing the course and I was really impressed by the course conditions and layout. Greens were great and rolling very true. Lots of sand traps (no rakes...darn Covid) and fair amount of water hazards. Landing areas seemed generously wide. Carts with GPS were nice. You get what you pay for and I’d gladly pay a few extra bucks to play this course again over some others that might be $10-20 cheaper but don’t give you nearly the same quality experience.

Finally had a chance to play and was very pleased with my experience here at Prestwick. Course was in very solid condition, greens while not at 100% according to my playing partner (a regular member) rolled perfectly as long as your putt was on line. Pace of play on the front 9 was quick considering a completely full tee sheet, but got stacked up on the back 9. That said we still finished our round in just a little over 4 hours. Would certainly recommend this course and will play it again sometime soon. Covid CDC guidelines in effect so no access to the restaurant for after-round drinks and snacks, but looked like a beautiful patio.

I have zero issues with paying $90+ for a quality course. Prestwick is simply not worth it. Bald spots in the fairway, hairy greens and 4+ hour rounds. Lower the cost of a round because you're getting too big for your britches.

I have played at this course for almost 30 years. Fabulous layout, nice amenities etc. I stepped away from the game for about 5 years due to shoulder injuries but finally back. My in-laws we’re visiting from Atlanta so thought good time to take my father-in-law out to play golf. I selected Prestwick based on my experience several years ago - not a good decision. The course was nothing like I remember. From the practice range to the practice green to the course itself, complete disappointment. The range was extremely rough, seemed like the maintenance crews felt the grass would some how repair itself. The practice green was certainly no better.

Once on the course, nothing changed. Fairways and greens were horrible. Had to roll the ball all day long to get a reasonable lie - not something I would expect for a $90 fee. Once on the greens, it was rare if we ever had a single putt that rolled smoothly. It was more like a MN roadway after a long winter..Sand traps had really hard sand and in several traps, the mesh underlayment was sticking up.

Bottom line I like proximity to my home but am so disappointed in how the course has been maintained. Going forward, I will tKe my $90 elsewhere.

Prestwick Golf Club is a public daily fee course with a definite country club feel. The street leading to the club is lined with enormous upscale homes, and the first view of the clubhouse surrounded by well-tended flower beds and shrubbery might have you thinking you took a wrong turn and ended up at the local country club. Five sets of tees ranging from 6,876 yards to 5,295 make the course accessible to a wide range of golfers, but that doesn't mean it's easy. We played the white tees at 6,374 and found the course to be moderately difficult, with fast, subtly breaking greens protected by numerous bunkers, about a dozen ponds scattered throughout the course, and lots of really well-placed fairway bunkers. The fairways were smooth and well-manicured, set on rolling terrain with some elevation changes, nothing really severe. Rough was deep enough that our foursome was unable to find a few balls that strayed off the fairway. Set in the middle of an upscale housing development, the course has houses adjoining many of the fairways, close enough that OB in someone's back yard is a definite possibility on several holes. Even with the houses visible throughout the course, it is still a very attractive track. One hole that stands out is the dogleg left 8th hole. From an elevated tee, you see the fairway set at an angle and a large pond running parallel to it that must be carried to reach the fairway. The hole is only 321 yards from the white tees, so longer hitters can carry the entire pond to set up a wedge approach. Others will take a safer, shorter bite of the pond and have a mid-iron shot to the green. The 9th hole is a par 5 with a pond protecting the green. A second shot that goes too far left will leave an approach that must carry the pond in order to reach the green. Keep your second shot to the right and you'll have a more comfortable approach with the pond on your left. Green fees at Prestwick are more than comparable courses like Eagle Valley, but less than StoneRidge. It's a good value for a pleasant golfing morning or afternoon.

There was a big cup and a normal cup on each hole. Different color flags at first, but some holes had two white flags. There was a starter at the first tee. We told him we hadn't played the course before. He didn't inform us about the two pins on each green. Wasn't sure if that was a temporary thing or just normal for the course. Nice layout.

This is a great golf course! The greens are perfect! Elevated tees show you the entire hole. Can play the black tees at 6900 or move up to four others. Water on several holes. Staff is very friendly! Food at Osteria restaurant is excellent, especially the pasta. This is a hidden gem in the Twin Cities!
